Rainfall is the main source of groundwater recharge in the Gaza Strip area in Palestine. The area is located in the semi-arid
zone and there is no source of recharge other than rainfall. Estimation of groundwater recharge from rainfall is not an easy
task since it depends on many uncertain parameters. The cumulative rainfall departure (CRD) method, which depends on the water
balance principle, was used in this study to estimate the net groundwater recharge from rainfall. This method does not require
much data as is the case with other classical recharge estimation methods. The CRD method was carried out using optimisation
approach to minimise the root mean square error (RMSE) between the measured and the simulated groundwater head. The results
of this method were compared with the results of other recharge estimation methods from literature. It was found that the
results of the CRD method are very close to the results of the other methods, but with less data requirements and greater
ease of application. Based on the CRD method, the annual amount of groundwater recharge from rainfall in the Gaza Strip is
about 43 million m3.

In recent years,landslide susceptibility mapping has substantially improved with advances in machine learning.However,there are still challenges remain in landslide mapping due to the availability of limited inventory data.In this paper,a novel method that improves the performance of machine learning techniques is presented.The proposed method creates synthetic inventory data using Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)for improving the prediction of landslides.In this research,landslide inventory data of 156 landslide locations were identified in Cameron Highlands,Malaysia,taken from previous projects the authors worked on.Elevation,slope,aspect,plan curvature,profile curvature,total curvature,lithology,land use and land cover(LULC),distance to the road,distance to the river,stream power index(SPI),sediment transport index(STI),terrain roughness index(TRI),topographic wetness index(TWI)and vegetation density are geo-environmental factors considered in this study based on suggestions from previous works on Cameron Highlands.To show the capability of GANs in improving landslide prediction models,this study tests the proposed GAN model with benchmark models namely Artificial Neural Network(ANN),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Decision Trees(DT),Random Forest(RF)and Bagging ensemble models with ANN and SVM models.These models were validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC).The DT,RF,SVM,ANN and Bagging ensemble could achieve the AUROC values of(0.90,0.94,0.86,0.69 and 0.82)for the training;and the AUROC of(0.76,0.81,0.85,0.72 and 0.75)for the test,subsequently.When using additional samples,the same models achieved the AUROC values of(0.92,0.94,0.88,0.75 and 0.84)for the training and(0.78,0.82,0.82,0.78 and 0.80)for the test,respectively.Using the additional samples improved the test accuracy of all the models except SVM.As a result,in data-scarce environments,this research showed that utilizing GANs to generate supplementary samples is promising because it can improve the predictive capability of common landslide prediction models. 相似文献

Inorganic chemistry,granulometry and mineralogical characteristics of the dust fall over phosphate mine adjacent area,central Jordan 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Eight selected heavy metals and phosphorus (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd, Ni and P) were analyzed in the dust fall samples collected
from the surrounding areas adjacent to Al-Hisa phosphate mine central Jordan during summer 2008. The chemical analysis was
done using the ICP-AES, after being digested with (HNO3/HCl/HF) acid mixture, beside the identification of their mineral constituents using the XRD. Moreover, the particulate matter
(PM) size was investigated and divided into four fractions (PM2.5, PM2.5–10, PMC10–100 and PM>100). The PM10–PM100 were found to be the most abundant in the local atmosphere followed by PM2.5–PM10, while the respirable fraction (PM2.5) and giant fraction (PM>100) showed lower levels. The studied samples contain less PM2.5 and PM10 particulates (9.39 and 28.67), respectively, than samples located far from the mine area (blank samples) (17.32 and 51.7)
for PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. The meteorological effects, mainly the prevailing wind direction beside the distance to emission sources affect
the distribution of dust particle sizes. Heavy metal contents in studied samples are similar to some extent to those found
in Isa Town (Bahraian), which related to similar arid and low precipitation climatic conditions. The effect of phosphate mining
activities was obvious as indicated from the presence of apatite as the main mineral phase and the higher P contents. Moreover,
the studied samples contain higher Zn, Ni, Cu and to lesser extent Cr than blank samples. They exhibited a significant positive
correlation with P, as they are usually associated with the phosphate rocks. 相似文献

Using a new approach, we have obtained a formula for calculating the rotation period and radius of planets. In the ordinary gravitomagnetism the gravitational spin (S) orbit (L) coupling, $\vec{L}\cdot\vec{S}\propto L^{2}$ , while our model predicts that $\vec{L}\cdot\vec{S}\propto\frac{m}{M}L^{2}$ , where M and m are the central and orbiting masses, respectively. Hence, planets during their evolution exchange L and S until they reach a final stability at which MS∝mL, or $S\propto\frac{m^{2}}{v}$ , where v is the orbital velocity of the planet. Rotational properties of our planetary system and exoplanets are in agreement with our predictions. The radius (R) and rotational period (D) of tidally locked planet at a distance a from its star, are related by, $D^{2}\propto\sqrt{\frac{M}{m^{3}}}R^{3}$ and that $R\propto\sqrt{\frac {m}{M}}a$ . 相似文献

Litter was assessed on three beaches along the Jordanian coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, south of the town Aqaba, monthly during 1994 and 1995, in order to determine its nature, extent and possible sources. The overall mean was about 5 and 3 items/m(2) in 1994 and 1995, respectively. Approximately a total of 14,000 m(2) were examined and a total of 101,000 items were noted, 67,000 during 1994 and 34,000 in 1995. More than 50% of the litter was plastic and the remainder wood, glass, cardboard, Styrofoam, metal and other materials. Most litter appears to be from local land-based or near shore sources, although there are some regional influences as well. The main local sources are the passenger port, the cargo port and the beach goers. The findings are compared with other regions of the world. The amount of litter is related to distance of the beach from the main sources, and shape, physiography and orientation of the beach. Spatial and seasonal variations are examined and discussed, and actions and measures to combat the problem on local and regional levels are suggested. 相似文献

As an example of the technique of fingerprint detection of greenhouse climate change, a multivariate signal or fingerprint of the enhanced greenhouse effect is defined using the zonal mean atmospheric temperature change as a function of height and latitude between equilibrium climate model simulations with control and doubled CO2 concentrations. This signal is compared with observed atmospheric temperature variations over the period 1963 to 1988 from radiosonde-based global analyses. There is a significant increase of this greenhouse signal in the observational data over this period.These results must be treated with caution. Upper air data are available for a short period only, possibly too short to be able to resolve any real greenhouse climate change. The greenhouse fingerprint used in this study may not be unique to the enhanced greenhouse effect and may be due to other forcing mechanisms. However, it is shown that the patterns of atmospheric temperature change associated with uniform global increases of sea surface temperature, with El NinoSouthern Oscillation events and with decreases of stratospheric ozone concentrations individually are different from the greenhouse fingerprint used here. 相似文献

The first order reliability method (FORM) has been widely used in probabilistic modelling of groundwater problems. The FORM approach requires an iterative optimization procedure to find out the system failure point (the most probable point).The advantages of this approach are that it does not require many computations in comparison with other methods when applied to simple problems, and it produces reasonably accurate results. However, it has been found that the computations of FORM can equal or exceed that of other methods in case of large number of variables.In this paper, a new implementation of FORM was proposed with more efficiency and accuracy than the traditional FORM method. In the proposed approach, automatic differentiation is used to obtain the gradient vector of the limit state function, which is required by FORM, instead of using finite difference estimation. This way, the first order derivative was obtained with a very good accuracy, and with less computational effort. Based on the obtained results, it is found that the proposed implementation of FORM is a very good tool for probabilistic risk assessment and uncertainty analysis in groundwater problems. 相似文献

Environmental qualities of coastal water and bottom sediment were assessed at Jordan's northernmost tip of Gulf of Aqaba to
evaluate possible impacts of the bordering fish pen cages in Eilat. Results showed significant differences between surface
and bottom water in the chemical and physical variables in the different months of the year (2004-2005). Chlorophyll a was
also significantly higher in bottom water when compared to that of the offshore water. Nitrate and ammonia were significantly
higher in bottom water than the surface water at each individual station. The upper 2 cm of sediment sample recorded higher
values of total phosphorus and organic matter. Seasonality affected the content of total phosphorus, organic matter, redox
potential and color especially at the sediment layer below 3 cm of the sediment core. The present investigation showed slight
modification of water and sediment qualities but no clear sign of eutrophication was observed. However, to maintain sustainability
of healthy environmental conditions at the northern tip of Gulf of Aqaba potentials of any possible environmental risks arising
from the fish farms or any other coastal investment should be carefully considered. 相似文献

Integrated Futures for Europe’s Mountain Regions: Reconciling Biodiversity Conservation and Human Livelihoods 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Introduction Europe's mountains cover nearly half of the continent's area (Price et al. 2004) and land cover varies significantly (European Commission 2004). In most massifs, except for Sicily, southern Greece, and the British Isles, forest cover is dominant. In northern Europe, grassland is proportionately more important, and much of the mountains of the British Isles is covered by moorland. In central and southern Europe, arable land is of far greater importance than grassland, with Med… 相似文献
