Reliability-based optimal design of water distribution networks
A considerable amount of research has been carried out on the reliability analysis and optimal design of water distribution systems, and it has been reported that each of the above problems is very difficult to solve (Eiger et al. 1994; Wagner et al. 1988). The authors are therefore to be commended for their work, which directly incorporated a sophisticated probabilistic reliability model into an optimization routine. The paper had other interesting and useful aspects, which, unfortunately, will not be elaborated upon here
Stocking, Enhancement, and Mariculture of Penaeus orientalis and Other Species in Shanghai and Zhejiang Provinces, China
China's marine aquaculture landings provide only 18% of its combined freshwater and amrine capture and culture landings, at a per-capita consumption of only 3.2 kg/yr out of a total of 18.1 kg/yr. We described development and some of the results of long-term mariculture and stocking/enhancement projects that have been underway for up to 20 years in the Hangzhou Bay area. Penaeus orientalis (also referred to as P. chinensis) stocking provided up to 400 t/yr, at a total cost-benefit ratio of up to 8 Yuan of landed shrimp per Yuan invested in shrimp stocking. Over 40 t of Penaeus orientalis were produced commercially in 1993, with proceeds being used to fund mariculture and fisheries research. Large scale edible jellyfish restocking is also underway, while semicommercial culture of abalone, Haliotis diversicolor, has been successful. Technical problems limitig mariculture have been solved successfully for some species
Holomorphic Poisson Manifolds and Holomorphic Lie Algebroids
We study holomorphic Poisson manifolds and holomorphic Lie algebroids from
the viewpoint of real Poisson geometry. We give a characterization of
holomorphic Poisson structures in terms of the Poisson Nijenhuis structures of
Magri-Morosi and describe a double complex which computes the holomorphic
Poisson cohomology. A holomorphic Lie algebroid structure on a vector bundle
is shown to be equivalent to a matched pair of complex Lie algebroids
, in the sense of Lu. The holomorphic Lie algebroid
cohomology of is isomorphic to the cohomology of the elliptic Lie algebroid
. In the case when is a holomorphic Poisson
manifold and , such an elliptic Lie algebroid coincides with the
Dirac structure corresponding to the associated generalized complex structure
of the holomorphic Poisson manifold.Comment: 29 pages, v2: paper split into two, part 1 of 2, v3: two references
