Communications from remote areas that may be of interest is still a problem. Many innovative projects applied to remote sites face communications difficulties. The GOLDFISH project was an EU-funded project for river pollution monitoring in developing countries. It had several sensor clusters, with floating WiFi antennas, deployed along a downstream river's course. Sensor clusters sent messages ...

The channel of Bhagirathi River is the branches off from the Ganga at Nurpur (lower course of the Ganga). Bhagirathi River is one of the main rivers in Murshidabad district. Analyzing the image of the Bhagirathi River in Murshidabad district through the year 1970, 1977, 1990, 2000 and 2006, it is found that significant changed has been occurred in souththern part of the river and less change is...

The Gambia is an appendix-shaped enclave within Senegal, in West Africa, and is some 200 miles long East to West but encloses only a few miles of rain forest and savannah on either bank of the grerut River Gambia. It is the smallest country in Africa in size and has a population of some 600,000. The economy depends heavily on a single crop, the groundnut, which is exported mainly as oil. The pe...

Chloride (Cl), stable isotope ratios of water (dO and dH), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), tritium (H), carbon-14 (C), noble gases (He, Ne, and Ar), and hydrometry were used to characterize groundwater-surface water interactions, in particular infiltration rates, for the Lower Namoi River (New South Wales, Australia). The study period (four sampling campaigns between November 2009 and November 2011)...

The River Bank represents Su Tong's new exploration of historical writing. This is reflected in the tone change behind women's Deng Shaoxiang, as a symbol history, runs through ups and downs struggles Ku Wenxuan Dongliang's father son. Qiao Limin's choice her abandonment Dongliang show individual's confusion, rootless suspension identity anxiety during Cultural Revolution. Huixian's fate change...

large tropical storms can have dramatic effects on coastal, estuarine and terrestrial ecosystems. However, it is not as well understood how these types of disturbances might impact freshwater communities further inland. Storm surges can change critical water quality parameters for kilometers upstream, potentially causing subtle shifts in community structure or more drastic fish kills. Hurricane...

People have been writing programs for automatic Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for forty years now, yet the validity of the task has remained in doubt. At a first pass, the task is simply defined: a word like bank can mean 'river bank ' or 'money bank' and the task-is to determine which of these applies in a context in which the word bank appears. The problems arise because most sense distinct...

The paper describes the results of the first shared task on word sense induction (WSI) for the Russian language. While similar shared tasks were conducted in the past for some Romance and Germanic languages, we explore the performance of sense induction and disambiguation methods for a Slavic language that shares many features with other Slavic languages, such as rich morphology and free wor...

River restoration can enhance river dynamics, environmental heterogeneity and biodiversity, but the underlying processes governing the dynamic changes need to be understood to ensure that restoration projects meet their goals, and adverse effects are prevented. In particular, we need to comprehend how hydromorphological variability quantitatively relates to ecosystem functioning and services, b...
