Ecological Flow of Intensively Developed and Utilized Rivers in Yunnan Province Based on Improved Tennant Method by LI Jiao, LI Xuehui

“…The ecological flow of rivers is the basic element for maintaining a river ecosystem and an important indicator for controlling the intensity of water resource development and utilization.Studying ecological flow is a significant part of endorsing river health.According to the characteristics of the intensively developed and utilized rivers in Yunnan Province,this paper takes the Niulan River system in the Jinsha River Basin as a representative to carry out ecological flow research.It proposes an improved Tennant method according to the division of the river's “water use period”,“flood control period”,and “water storage period” and compares it with three common hydrological methods.According to the comparison,the proposed improved Tennant method has obvious advantages in meeting the water use characteristics of rivers in development and utilization,the variation law of natural rivers' abundance and dryness throughout the year,the ecological environment conditions in the river course,and the ecological flow satisfaction rate in dry seasons.…”

A Mathematical Model for Peristaltic Transport of Micro-Polar Fluids by S. K. Pandey, Dharmendra Tripathi

“…A mathematical model has been constructed for peristaltic transport of micro-polar fluid in a circular cylindrical tube of finite length by letting sinusoidal waves propagate along the wall that induce contraction and relaxation but not expansion beyond the natural boundary. Axial and radial velocities and micro-rotation components are formulated for micro-polar fluid transportations by applying the method of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations in the analysis. …”

Network properties of the global waste trade by Filippos K. Zisopoulos, Brian D. Fath, Xin Tong, Martin de Jong

“…More specifically, indicators from ecological network analysis and ascendency analysis were used to identity patterns which may not otherwise be directly identifiable, and to compare the network properties of the global waste trade to those of natural ecosystems. Focus was given on the distribution of monetary and material flows, on policy recommendations, and on future research avenues which we think are relevant for obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of socio-economic systems such as trade networks. …”
