assiganga stream is an important tributary of bhagirathi river in central himalaya (india). the stream is characterized by heterogeneity in habitat and substratum features harboring diverse fish fauna. at present this stream is facing threat of being fragmented by the construction of two hydro-electric projects. present study aimed to study fish diversity and their habitat use in assiganga stre...

Advances in data acquisition have allowed large data collections of millions of time varying records in the form of data streams. The challenge is to effectively process the stream data with limited resources while maintaining sufficient historical information to define the changes and patterns over time. This paper describes an evidence-based approach that uses representative points to increme...

Spectra attacks proposed recently are more data efficient than algebraic attacks against stream cipher. They are also time-andspace efficient. A measurement of the security of a stream cipher against spectra attacks is spectral immunity, the lowest spectral weight of the annihilator of the key stream. We study both the annihilator and the spectral immunity. We obtain a necessary and sufficient ...

A link stream is a collection of triplets (t,u,v) indicating that an interaction occurred between u and v at time t. Link streams model many realworld situations like email exchanges between individuals, connections between devices, and others. Much work is currently devoted to the generalization of classical graph and network concepts to link streams. In this paper, we generalize the existing ...

This thesis investigates the underlying mechanisms and the density-regulatory effects of age-class interactions, using juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) as study species. Field experiments were performed in streams along the western coast of Sweden, in which densities of older age-classes were reduced and the response on young-of-the-year habitat use an...

Accurate density functional and ab initio calculations have been performed to study the potential-energy surfaces (PESs) and their implications for kinetics and dynamics of : (1) the spin-forbidden reaction CH(2%) PES characteristics are calculated and used to ] 2 HCN] N(4S) ; evaluate the overall rate using non-adiabatic transition-state theory. (2) Gasphase ionÈmolecule reactions : PESs are c...

The existence of a general relation between population density and body size in animal assemblages has been debated because of known biases and ambiguities in the published data and data handling. Using new comprehensive data sets from two geographically separated stream communities that encompass 448 and 260 invertebrate taxa with a wide range of body sizes, we show that an inverse proportiona...

Literature data for 19 populations from 16 different studies of six species of stream-dwelling salmonids were analysed to test the hypothesis that density-dependent growth is stronger at low rather than at high population density. Fifteen of 19 populations showed evidence of a significant decrease in growth rate with increasing density. In 11 of these 15 populations, the pattern of density-depe...

We investigate the catalytic property of the intermetallic compound Pt3Ti by studying the interaction of its (111) surface with hydrogen. Based on density functional theory, we obtain the 2–D PES to estimate the barrier for H2 dissociation, and the binding energy of H atom at diŠerent sites of the substrate. The observed energetics can be explained in terms of the role played by the Ti atoms in...
