The objective of this study was to determine physiographic similarity, as indicator of hydrologic similarity
between catchments located in the Upper Niger Basin, and to derive the dominant factors controlling each group
singularity. We utilized a dataset of 9 catchments described by 16 physical and climatic properties distributed
across a wide region with strong environmental gradients. Catchments attributes were first standardized before
they underwent an integrated exploratory data analysis composed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
followed by Hierarchical Clustering. Results showed a clear distribution into 2 major clusters: a group of
easterly flat catchments and another of westerly hilly catchments. This nomenclature came from the
interpretation of the main factors, topography and longitude, that seem to control the most important variability
between both clusters. In addition, the hilly catchments were designated to be dominated by forest and
ACRISOL soil type, two additional drivers of similarity. The outcome of this study can help understanding
catchment functioning and provide a support for regionalization of hydrological information.

THE APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS IN MANAGEMENT OF AQUIFERamsjournal
Before feeling water -shortage crisis human has understood the importance of water From the
religious texts. Considering recent conditions of the world the water will replace most recent
boundaries, at future. Imamzadeh Jaafar plain is located 5 kilometers northeast of Gachsaran, south
of Kohgilooye and Boerahmad province. The plain has 61km 2 area extents and contains two,
alluvial and carbonate aquifers. These aquifers supply the water needs, agricultural, industrial and
domestic. Highly exploitation and transportation of groundwater resources, especially by National Oil
Company, caused highly drawdown in alluvial aquifer, 1.85m in a 5 years period from 1361 to
1365 as reported by Mahab Ghods Consulting Engineers. There are two artificial recharge
projects, 1 flood spreading system and 1 recharge ponds system, in the plain. To present the future
water resources management program the hydrogeological behaviors of the alluvial aquifer and the
effects of artificial recharge must be evaluated. edrock, hydrodynamic coefficients, topography, water
resources and were collected, field surveys were performed and required maps were prepared. Using
conceptual model and MODFLOW PMWIN code the mathematical model of the plain was
calibrated against water year 1380 -81 and then verified against water year 1384 - 85. The verified
model was used to predict future conditions of aquifer. The results implied the rapid response of
aquifer to precipitation due to high aquifer ransmissivity, positive water budget at year 1385
comparing year 65, change of direction of groundwater flow from plain outlet to the center of
plain in response to highly exploitation at the center of plain, water level in the wells located

Many details go into the planning of a mine. The information gathered must come from several
sources. First is the geological, structural, and mineralogical information, combined with the
resource/reserve data. This information leads to the preliminary selection of a potential mining method
and sizing of the mine production. From this the development planning is done, the equipment
selection is made, and the mine workforce projections are completed, all leading to the economic
analysis associated with mine planning.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Classification of Mineral Resources
Mineral Resources: Demonstrated by the quantity and quality of a “mineral asset” located in a
determined area. Resources can be classified as Inferred , Indicated or Measured, based on
growing geological knowledge of the area in question (degree of exploration and recognition of
the deposit):
• Inferred: portion of the resources whose geological continuity and quality are assumed.
Sampling stations present ample spacing
• Indicated: portion of the resources whose geological continuity can be proven and
quality is assumed
• Measured: portion of the resources whose geological continuity and quality can be
proved
