ON APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS FOR MODELING OF WATER CONSUMPTION by Alexander N. Salugin, Roman N. Balkushkin

“…The article shows the capabilities of artificial neural networks built on radial basis functions for the study of water consumption by various branches of the Don River basin water system. The use of mathematical models in the form of a system of differentiated equations is hampered by the uncertainty of the coefficients in their right-hand sides, which describe the intensities of processes of different natures: precipitation, water consumption by various sectors of the water management complex, water runoff during snow melting, transpiration, infiltration, etc. …”

ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY OF ARGAZIN RESERVOIR AND PECULIARITIES OF BOTTOM SEDIMENTS IMPACT ON IT by Andrey V. Bogomolov, Anatoliy P. Lepikhin, Yuriy S. Lyakhin, Alexander V. Beloborodov, Aleksey A. Tiunov

“…Hydrodynamic modeling was carried out, which enabled to determine the migration routes of pollutants (AR) through the water area of the Argazin reservoir, to predict the concentrations of AR in the event of their input through the Miass River. Conclusions have been made about the significant self-purification ability of the reservoir. …”

Memória social da Batalha do Jenipapo: trilhas e enredos patrimoniais em Campo Maior (PI) by Maria Dione Carvalho de Moraes, Juliana Rodrigues Cavalcante

“…Within this memory boom, we focus the process of assigning meanings to an event narrated by historiography and oral tradition as an important fight in the process of Brazil's independence, viz. the battle of Jenipapo, which occurred in the village of Campo Maior (PI), in the northeastern region of Brazil, on the banks of the River Jenipapo on March 13, 1823. To this end, we approach the polyphonic and multiple work of social memory that takes place in the convergences and divergences between history, myth and tangible signs, as diffuse monuments, places of memory, in the city of Campo Maior (PI).…”

L’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis, une menace sur la forêt tropicale humide ? by Serge Bahuchet, Jean-Marie Betsch

“…(Kleinman et al. 1995).In the context of the announcement of the creation of the National Park of the South of French Guiana, an interdisciplinary program (ecology, pedobiology, ethnology; MNHN-CNRS-IRD) Effects of the traditional cultural practices on soils and forest (French Environment Ministry) studied the effects of the itinerant agriculture on slash-and-burn field from an analysis of the conditions which allow Amerindian communities to satisfy their material and spiritual needs in a forest system.This program set up the following points:– the fine practices of this agriculture, constituting a real strategy, supply efficiently the mineral elements in the cultures, without purchase of fertilizers, and ensure a rapid forest recovery after at least 10 years; the cycles short culture - long fallow allow the self regeneration of an agroforestry system registered since millenniums in the forest dynamics of the river banks;– the adoption of the long fallow limits the spatial extent of every family to 10-15 hectares at most;– the transportation on foot of the harvest towards the village limits the extent of the agriculture to a 3-4 km band from the river; beyond, the forest is protected from an agricultural pressure;– the absence of the market does not lead to an increase of the cultivated surfaces and the pressure on the forest is not increasing thus at present;– the forest of the hinterland includes wide zones restricted by strong social taboos; the conservation of the social organization of the Amerindian ethnic groups is the first condition of the preservation of the forest domain.The real solution for the preservation of the forest heritage in the South of French Guiana, obviously social, was thus already political, before the creation of the “Amazonian Park of Guyana” (2007).…”
