Pipe re-sizing of water distribution networks (WDNs) aims at improving the service performance to the required level, while minimizing the cost of replacing pipes silbrade in the network.The main challenge comes from the identification of the most effective pipes to re-size from a large number of interacting components.Performing a global search ov

Plasma discharges in the tungsten (W) Environment Steady-state Tokamak (WEST) are strongly impacted by W contamination.In WEST experiments, due to W contamination, the power radiated in the plasma ( P _Rad ) is on average, around 50% of the total power injected into the plasma ( P _TOT ).Furthermore, this radiated power fraction ( f _Rad ) is almos

Dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) is an aggressive native perennial that is found throughout much of the Southeast.Dogfennel is particularly troublesome in unimproved or overgrazed pastures where it adds to the decline of forage yield and quality.Although generally considered to be only unsightly, the leaves contain low levels of the toxin tremi

This paper presents the results of a short-term research project conducted in 2017/2018 on the various ways in which migration and land dynamics in West Africa are intertwined.Contrary to much conventional (policy) thinking in the European Union (EU) today, our point of departure is not that migration is the problem to be solved – nor that (a
