Academic literature on the topic 'LITPACK'

Penelitian ini tentang analisis perubahan garis pantai di pantai Barat Daya Pulau Ternate, Provinsi Maluku Utara. Kajian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis perubahan garis (abrasi dan sedimentasi) selama 11 tahun dari tahun 2001-2011. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh realitas di Pantai Barat Daya Pulau Ternate yang telah mengalami abrasi dan sedimentasi sampai ke pemukiman warga. Belum ada kajian yang komperhensif mengenai seberapa besar tingkat perubahan garis pantai yang terjadi, dan faktor-faktor apa saja yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk transformasi gelombang dan perubahan garis pantai yang terjadi di Pantai Barat Daya Pulau Ternate. Analisis perubahan garis pantai dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua pendekatan yakni menggunakan model LITPACK MIKE DHI dan digitasi citra menggunakan citra landsat 7 ETM+. Hasil analisis citra dijadikan sebagai pembanding untuk memvalidasi hasil keluaran model LITPACK MIKE DHI. Tumpang susun hasil analisis model dengan hasil analisis citra menunjukan pola kontur perubahan garis pantai yang sama. Berdasarkan hasil analisis model, menunjukan abrasi tertinggi terjadi di stasiun C (Pantai Sasa) sejauh 83.67 m dan sedimentasi terjadi di stasiun B sejauh 45.69 m, berdasarkan hasil analisis citra abrasi tertinggi terjadi di stasiun C sebesar 27.14 m dan sedimentasi terjadi di stasiun E sebesar 24.09 m. Besarnya abrasi dan sedimentasi dipengaruhi oleh aksi gelombang yang terjadi dan aktivitas penambangan pasir oleh masyarakat di pantai Barat Daya Pulau Ternate

The South-west Black Sea Coast is facing severe erosion problems that threaten both the population and the immediate eastside properties. Some locations, such as the Karaburun region, are especially vulnerable. In an attempt to reverse the present erosional trend, a coastal defense scheme involving a groin system was introduced in a phased manner. In the present work, the shoreline changes under the influence of a groin system of a sandy beach in Karaburun, Turkey, are studied by using a numerical simulation model (LITPACK). The work is motivated by the considerable erosion and siltation problems caused a sediment deposition near and inside the harbor entrance which prevented the boat traffic and caused a vital problem for the harbor operations. The study’s scope is two-fold: to help in understanding the dynamics of the beach based on results of the field work and to study the responses of this beach by numerical simulation, utilizing the topographic and sediment field data and measured wave data. The validation and verification of the numerical model was performed by RTK-GPS measurements and satellite images.

Abstract Context.—Pleural involvement by lymphoma is relatively common. However, there are very few clinicopathologic studies reported in the literature of lymphomas involving the pleura. Objective.—To characterize the clinicopathologic features of lymphomas involving the pleura. Design.—We reviewed the clinicopathologic features of 34 patients with lymphoma involving the pleura proven by biopsy and classified these neoplasms using the World Health Organization classification. Results.—There were 22 men and 12 women, with an average age of 62 years (range, 22–82 years). Nine (26.5%) patients had pleural involvement as the only site of disease, 22 (64.7%) had other sites of involvement, and 3 (8.8%) had inadequate staging data. Eighteen (56.2%) of 32 patients with adequate clinical data had a history of lymphoma (including 3 patients with pleural involvement as the only disease site). In 29 (85.3%) cases, a specific diagnosis according to the World Health Organization classification could be made: 17 (58.6%) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 5 (17.2%) follicular lymphoma (including a case with areas of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), 2 (6.9%) small lymphocytic lymphomas/chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 2 (6.9%) precursor T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, 1 (3.4%) mantle cell lymphoma, 1 (3.4%) posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder, and 1 (3.4%) classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The other 5 cases were B-cell lymphomas that could not be further classified. Cytologic examination of pleural fluid was performed in 15 cases and was positive for lymphoma in 8 (53.3%) cases. Conclusions.—Most patients with lymphoma involving the pleura have simultaneous evidence of systemic involvement. The most frequent type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, followed by follicular lymphoma. Cytologic examination can have negative results in patients with pleural involvement by lymphoma.

River inlets along the Tamil Nadu coast remain mostly closed due to negligible fresh water flow and also due to various structures constructed near to the river inlet obstructing natural sediment transport. Excessive development of the sand spit also causes serious problems such as water level rise during floods and difficulty in navigation through river mouth. To reduce the impact of coastal area flooding and easy navigation it is necessary to keep the river mouth open. River training walls (RTW) are generally constructed to keep the river mouth open. Depending upon the sediment transport direction, sediments get deposited on one side of the RTW, while depleting the sediments from the other side. To prevent the sediment deposit from spilling over to river mouth, it is ideal to bypass the sand to the other side of the river mouth. This study analyses the methodologies for sand bypassing. A numerical model study has been carried out using DHI LITPACK to evaluate the sedimentation. The procedure of sand bypassing using pumps and pipe lines are discussed. Volume of sand bypassed, pump capacity, the number of Booster pumps to maintain critical velocity etc. can be determined based on the procedure discussed

New Year. In this edition of the news I am highlighting several online resources as well as conferences, tours, and exhibits of possible interest.First of all, I highly suggest you sign up at the Alberta School Library Council's new LitPicks site (aslclitpicks.ca). It is free, filled with promise, and includes only books recommended by the reviewers. The reviews are searchable by grade level and genre (e.g., animal, biographical fable, fantasy, humour, historical, horror, verse, realistic, mystery, myth) and include all formats. The reviews include curriculum connections and links to relevant resources. Library staff review titles based on engagement of story, readability, descriptive language, illustration excellence and integrity of data, and source for non-fiction titles. The target users are teachers, teacher-librarians, library techs, and others working in libraries. School library cataloguers can provide a link to the review from within the catalogue record.Another recommended resource is CanLit for Little Canadians, a blog that focuses on promoting children's and YA books by Canadian authors and illustrators. The blog postings can also be found on Facebook. (http://canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.ca/)First Nation Communities READ is another resource for your tool box. It is an annual reading program launched in 2003 by the First Nations public library community in Ontario and includes titles that are written and/or illustrated by (or otherwise involve the participation of) a First Nation, Métis, or Inuit creator and contain First Nation, Métis, or Inuit content produced with the support of First Nation, Métis, or Inuit advisers/consultants or First Nation, Métis, or Inuit endorsement.

Each May, authors, illustrators and storytellers visit communities throughout the country to share the delights of Canadian children’s books. Book Week reaches over 25,000 children and teens in schools and libraries across Canada every year. The theme for this year is Hear Our Stories: Celebrating First Nations, Métis and Inuit Literature, celebrating the remarkable variety of topics, genres and voices being published by and about members of our First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) communities in Canada. On a personal note, I will be touring as a storyteller in Quebec as part of this year’s Book Week tour.Freedom to Read Week: February 22-28, 2015. This annual event encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom, which is guaranteed them under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This year’s Freedom to Read review marks the thirtieth anniversary of its publication and of Freedom to Read Week in Canada. It was first published in 1984 to explore the freedom to read in Canada and elsewhere and to inform and assist booksellers, publishers, librarians, students, educators, writers and the public. To commemorate Freedom to Read’s thirtieth anniversary, some of our writers have cast a look back over the past three decades. As usual, the review provides exercises and resources for teachers, librarians and students. This and previous issues of Freedom to Read, as well as appendices and other resources, are available at www.freedomtoread.ca.Half for you and Half for Me: Nursery Rhymes and Poems we Love.

The Danish west coast presents a continue evolution because of its hydrodynamic and geomorphological conditions. The main topic of the following thesis is to analyse and understand the erosion causes in Nørlev Strand, a small village in the North-West coast of Denmark, close to the most famous Lønstrup in the Hjørring Kommune. LITPACK is the software package used as support of the study: LITDRIFT is used understand the erosion (causes and magnitude), LITLINE to simulate the yearly shore-line tendency, LITPROF to see how change the cross-shore profile in case of storm and after, restoring a “normal” condition. Finallly, a solution to erosion is proposed based on local citizens (low visual impact and cost) and Danish Coastal Authority will (the body responsible giving permissions to any changes on the coast).

A fim de compreender e predizer evoluÃÃes geomorfologicas em mares e em estuÃrios litorais necessita-se de um modelo que descreva a dinÃmica do movimento da Ãgua, o movimento do sedimento e a evoluÃÃo de limites erodiveis (como o fundo). Os Ãltimos dois mÃdulos requerem a informaÃÃo quantitativa sobre a erosÃo, a deposiÃÃo e o transporte do sedimento. As estruturas sÃo construÃdas ao longo da costa para vÃrias finalidades e causam modificaÃÃes no ambiente natural com mudanÃa circunstanciais da linha de costa. A concepÃÃo do porto de PecÃm requereu do governo estudar e impedir as possÃveis alteraÃÃes da linha da costa prÃximo Ãs estruturas construÃdas. EntÃo, atravÃs de simulaÃÃo numÃrica, utilizando-se moderno software, MIKE21 e LITPACK, estudou-se e previu-se o comportamento da linha de costa nos dez anos seguintes ao inÃcio da construÃÃo, 1996. Este trabalho pretende verificar a realidade daquela previsÃo. Os resultados para a dinÃmica da linha de costa da regiÃo do porto de PecÃm foram obtidos atravÃs de comparaÃÃes da sua evoluÃÃo desde o momento inicial da construÃÃo do terminal portuÃrio, mostrando, assim, as transformaÃÃes causadas pelo transporte do sedimento em dois perÃodos de estudo, antes e depois da construÃÃo do embarcadouro provisÃrio, e comparar com os resultados determinados pelas simulaÃÃes numÃricas dos softwares, MIKE21 e LITPACK
In order to understand and predict geomorphologic evolutions in coastal seas and estuaries a model is needed which describes the dynamics of the water motion, sediment movement and the evolution of erodible boundaries (like the bottom). The latter two modules require quantitative information about erosion, deposition and transport of sediment. The structures are constructed to the long one of the coast for some purposes and cause modifications in the natural environment with change of the circumstantial shoreline. The conception of the port of PecÃm required of the government to study and to hinder the possible alterations of the coast line next to the constructed structures. Then, through numerical simulation, using modern software, MIKE21 and LITPACK, it was studied and one foreseen the behavior of the shoreline in the ten following years to the beginning of the construction, 1996. This work intends to verify the reality of that forecast. The results for the dynamics of the shoreline of the region of the port of PecÃm had been gotten through comparisons of its evolution since the initial moment of the construction that terminal port, showing, thus, the transformations caused by the transport of the sediment in two periods of study, before and after the construction of the provisory docking, and to compare with the results determined for the numerical simulations of software, MIKE21 and of LITPACK
