Automated Archeological Survey of Ancient Irrigation Canals Abstract of the Thesis Automated Archaeological Survey of Ancient Irrigation Canals
In Ancient Southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq), rainfall was never high enough to sustain agriculture, so for thousands of years people used a system of canals to irrigate their fields. These canals, built up over generations, have long formed the basis of settlement patterns and state relations in the region, making their location and mapping of key interest to archaeologists. However, since 1991,...
متن کاملDistributed model predictive control for irrigation canals DISTRIBUTED MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF IRRIGATION CANALS
Irrigation canals are large-scale systems, consisting of many interacting components, and spanning vast geographical areas. For safe and efficient operation of these canals, maintaining the levels of the water flows close to prespecified reference values is crucial, both under normal operating conditions as well as in extreme situations. Irrigation canals are equipped with local controllers, to...

The shift to plant food production occurred in only a few independent centers around the world and involved a commitment to increased sedentism and social ...
متن کاملResurrecting ancestral genes in bacteria to interpret ancient biosignatures
Two datasets, the geologic record and the genetic content of extant organisms, provide complementary insights into the history of how key molecular components have shaped or driven global environmental and macroevolutionary trends. Changes in global physico-chemical modes over time are thought to be a consistent feature of this relationship between Earth and life, as life is thought to have bee...
متن کاملResurrecting an Ancient Enzyme to Address Gene Duplication
The molecular biological revolution of the past several decades has put into the hands of researchers a set of powerful tools for understanding life and its evolution. In this issue of PLOS Biology, Christopher Brown, Karin Voordeckers, Steven Maere, and Kevin Verstrepen put those tools to work to recreate long-vanished ancestral enzymes in vitro, testing their biochemical activity against exis...
