Maximal Intensity Higher-Order Breathers of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation on Different Backgrounds
(2017-04-27)
In this work, we present fully periodic breathers of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) on both constant and elliptical dn-function backgrounds. The breathers can be generated under two conditions 1) the periods of ...
Prospective Mechanisms of Pyrite Oxidation in Anoxygenic Environments Analyzed by the Ferrozine Assay
(2017-05-03)
Pyrite survived extensive redox weathering in the Archean (4.0-2.5 Ga) due to lack of readily available atmospheric oxygen in coastal, shallow-water environments. However, instances of oxidized detrital pyrite are still ...

(Agricultural Water Management, 2017)
This study investigates multi-dimensional impacts of adopting new technology in agriculture at the farm/village and watershed scale in sub-Saharan Africa using the Integrated Decision Support System (IDSS). Application of ...
Agro-Climatic and hydrological characterization of selected watersheds of northern Ghana. IWMI Working Paper 173. Colombo, Sri Lanka: IWMI.
(IWMI, 2017)
This paper provides the climatic and biophysical context of three watersheds in northern Ghana. The objective of the study is to describe the agro-climatic and hydrological features of the watersheds from a landscape ...
Evaluation and prediction of land use/land cover changes in the Andassa watershed, Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Environmental Systems Research, 2017)
BackgroundLand use/land cover (LU/LC) change is the challenging and continuous drivers of environment change. Understanding the rate and process of change is, therefore, basic for managing the environment. This study was ...
Beyond the drinking glass: expanding our understanding of water-nutrition linkages
(Feild Exchange, 2017)
Water access and management play central roles in determining nutritional outcomes. Water-for-nutrition is most often approached from a WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) perspective, where the aim is to improve water ...
