Managing Basin Interdependencies in a Heterogeneous Highly Utilized and Data Scarce River Basin in Semi-Arid Africa The Case of the Pangani

Managing Basin Interdependencies in a Heterogeneous Highly Utilized and Data Scarce River Basin in Semi-Arid Africa The Case of the Pangani

For integrated water resources management both blue and green water resources in a river basin and their spatial and temporal distribution have to be considered. This is because green and blue water uses are interdependent. In sub-Saharan Africa the upper landscapes are often dominated by rainfed and supplementary irrigated agriculture that rely on green water resources. Downstream most blue water uses are confined to the river channels mainly for hydropower and the environment. Over time and due to population growth and increased demands for food and energy water use of both green and blue water has increased. This book provides a quantitative assessment of green-blue water use and their interactions. The book makes a novel contribution by developing a hydrological model that can quantify not only green but also blue water use by many smallholder farmers scattered throughout the landscape. The book provides an innovative framework for mapping ecological productivity where gross returns from water consumed in agricultural and natural vegetation are quantified. The book provides a multi-objective optimization analysis involving green and blue water users including the environment. The book also assesses the uncertainty levels of using remote sensing data in water resource management at river basin scale. | Managing Basin Interdependencies in a Heterogeneous Highly Utilized and Data Scarce River Basin in Semi-Arid Africa The Case of the Pangani

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal
