Network analysis of conjunctively operated ground water-surface water systems

The concept of network models is introduced and a general network model for a multiple purpose, multiple unit water resource system is developed. The "out-of-kilter" algorithm is then presented as a solution technique for network flow problems. A model for preliminary screening of alternatives for water supply from conjunctive use of ground water and surface water in the Kaskaskia River Basin in Illinois is presented and analyzed. The results from the analysis demonstrate how the network analysis procedures can be used to determine optimum investment plans, to test policy constraints, and to develop policies for future development and future constraints.U.S. Geological SurveyU.S. Department of the InteriorOpe

Kuttab sebagai Potret Pendidikan Dasar Periode Klasik

Indonesia:Pendahuluan: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas tentang Kuttab sebagai potret pendidikan Islam periode klasik, yaitu sejak zaman Rasulullah hingga kota Baghdad dihancurkan oleh Hulago Khan (650 M-1250 M).

Kuttab education was placed at the teacher home, and then move on to the courtyard mosque and built a separate building. Subject matter of Kuttab in the beginning was learning to read and write using the Arabic poems were well meaning, and then the subject was added with reading and memorizing the Qur'an and mastering the principal of Islam.

Japanese dichotomies and the individual identity in Haruki Murakami’s colourless Tsukuru Tazaki

Japanese indigenous terms such as uchi/soto (inside/outside) and omote/ura (front/back) are common dichotomies employed to understand the differences between expected behaviours associated with group dynamics such as promoting collective harmony rather than individual uniqueness. Haruki Murakami advocates that the Japanese need to move away from these dichotomies in order to embrace the true self and assert an individual voice. This dictum comes after he concluded his observations on the tragic 1995 sarin gas attacks in Japan and noted that individuals should be more assertive in forming their own voice rather than conforming to the collective voice. In his latest novel, Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage (2014), he presents a new narrative on individual negotiations with group consciousness. This article seeks to reveal the sense of individuality presented through the frame of the Japanese dichotomies and the psychological response of the main character, Tsukuru. The character will be analysed in relation to the group that he belongs to: in the context of the Japanese uchi (inside) or soto (outside) and within each context, representations of his omote (front) or ura (back) is examined. The findings expose that both uchi and soto are significant in developing individuality. More importantly, how the individual responds while in these contexts determines his ability to construct his identity. This reading suggests that Murakami fulfills his agenda by empowering the individual to explore various ways in being independent. The novel also indicates that the Japanese society is gradually manifesting a growing sense of individuality by departing from its codes of group consciousness

Effect of Types of Natural Food and Their Combination on Growth Dab Survival Rate of Tambaqui (Colossoma Macropomum) Larvae

The effect of types of natural food and their combinations on growth and survival rate of tambaqui (Collossoma macropomum) larvae was conducted at the Fish Hatchery and Breeding Lalboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, University of Riau in 18-L recirculating water system aquaria for 6 weeks rearing period. Six-days old larvae were stocked at density of 30 larvae/ aquarium and fed with Artemia nauplii for 6 weeks (treatment 1), water fleas 6 weeks (Treatment 2); tubifex worm 6 weeks (Treatment 3); Artemia nauplii 3 weeks followed by tubifex worm 3 weeks (treatment 4); water fleas 3 weeks followed by tubifex worm 3 weeks (Treatment 5) and Artemia nauplii 2 weeks, followed by water fleas 2 weeks and lasted by tubifex worm 2 weeks (Treatment 6). The weight gain (2.2 g) and specific growth rate (9.75%/day) were significantly higher for larvae fed with tubifex worm for 6 weeks than those fed with artemia and water flea or their combinations. Therefore, the survival rate of larvae was best (74.4%) when fed with either artemia nauplii followed by tubifex worm or water flea followed by tubifex worm
