DYNAMIC SEGMENT CRITICALITY ANALYSIS: A PRECURSOR TO SCHEDULING OF MAINTENANCE ROUTINES IN WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Dynamic segment criticality analysis: A precursor to scheduling of maintenance routines in water distribution networks

This study proposes a framework for dynamic segment criticality analysis and its implications on scheduling of some reactive maintenance routines in water distribution networks (WDNs).The framework harmonises multilayer networks which are capable of ascertaining the dynamics of WDNs in discrete time and a Shock Sensors novel hybrid segment critical

Bifurcation and chaos in a discrete activator-inhibitor system

In this paper, Foodcover we explore local dynamic characteristics, bifurcations and control in the discrete activator-inhibitor system.More specifically, it is proved that discrete-time activator-inhibitor system has an interior equilibrium solution.Then, by using linear stability theory, local dynamics with different topological classifications fo

Three new species of the armored catfish genus Loricaria (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from river channels of the Amazon basin

Three new Torch species of Loricaria are described from large white- and black-water river channels of the Amazon basin of Brazil, the upper rio Negro drainage of southern Venezuela, and clear waters of the lower rio Tocantins.Loricaria spinulifera and L.pumila differ from other species of Loricaria by having unique patterns of abdominal plate deve
