Hattingh, Keaton Jade. "Geomorphological controls on pool formation and pool persistence in non-perennial river systems." University of the Western Cape, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/7739.
Full textGlobally climate variability and anthropogenic effects are causing more perennial rivers to become non-perennial rivers. Non-perennial rivers are distinguished by their isolated pools which serve as refugia for aquatic organisms, water birds, and riparian vegetation. The literature on non-perennial rivers demonstrates that pools are poorly understood in terms of their location, nature, and geomorphic persistence. Therefore, this study examines the relationships between the spatial distribution, morphology, and substrate characteristics of pools in reaches of the Prins and Touws rivers in the Klein Karoo. A greater understanding of pools will facilitate better management, monitoring, and restoration strategies for pool ecology since the geomorphology of pools provides a key part of the ecological template. Worldview-2 satellite imagery (2017) and orthorectified aerial photography (2014, 2013, and 1944) were used to assess the effects of major flooding events on pools over time. A DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) was used to survey the pool widths, lengths, depths, and valley widths, cross-sections, and longitudinal profiles of the river. Sediment samples and Wolman pebble counts were used to assess the grain size and organic matter content of each pool in the study area. Detailed descriptions of the characteristics of each pool in terms of position in the channel, valley form, and obstruction presence and type were also assessed. Results indicate that most of the large pools occur at bedrock outcrops of the valley margins, and smaller pools are associated with Vachellia karroo debris bar features. Larger and highly persistent pools are associated with valley confinement and smaller less persistent, scour pools occur mid-channel where the valley expands. Analysis of the results shows that the valley width is the dominant control on these forced pools. The type of obstruction also plays a role in the formation of the pool as large woody debris results in smaller pools whereas, bedrock outcrops result in larger sized pools. A significant relationship was found between the grain size and organic matter content of pools. Aerial photography of the spatial distribution of the pools revealed that before a major flood, the pools were small and patchy, whereas afterward, they were larger and more elongated. It is suggested that at the bedrock outcrops, major scouring and eddy processes drive the formation of larger pools during large flood events, whereas pool dissection by sediment deposits prevails during intervening intermediate to low flow periods. The results are discussed in terms of the geomorphic controls (valley width, pool dimensions, morphology, substrate, and obstruction characteristics) on the formation and maintenance of pools in dryland settings. A conceptual model is proposed to explain the geomorphic changes of the pools in the four geomorphological zones of non-perennial rivers.

Full textRegulation is analyzed as a response to failures of financial markets. In this sense, the regulatory intensity should coincide with the presence of high risk of failure. An empirical study shows that this is not the case for examples of regulated professions in finance. Regarding the audit, an extensive study of audit fees observed in France, England, Germany and the United States indicates that audit fees depend on the professional organization. An organization with professional bodies in France and Germany results in higher costs than in the Anglo-Saxon countries. More generally, the regulated professions are important and disseminate their rates throughout the economy. There is thus a strong correlation between the level of deregulation of regulated professions and the competitiveness of a country. This proposition is proved with several indices

There is currently much systems-based thinking going into understanding safety in complex socio-technical systems and in developing useful accident analysis methods. However, when it comes to complex systems without clear physical components, the techniques for understanding accidents are antiquated and ineffective. This thesis uses a promising new engineering-based accident analysis methodology, CAST (Casual Analysis using STAMP, or Systems Theoretic Accident Models and Processes) to understand an aspect of the financial crisis of 2007-2008. This thesis demonstrates how CAST can be used to understand the context and control problems that led to the collapse and rapid acquisition of the investment bank Bear Stearns in March 2008. It seeks to illustrate the technological and regulatory change that provided the context for the Bear Stearns accidents and then demonstrates how a top-down systematic method of analysis can produce more insight into the accident than traditional financial accident investigations such as congressionally-mandated inquiries.

points of view. The investigation is realized in three steps: First, general questions were posed in order to gather the characteristics of organizations, then, questionnaires were conducted, and finally, financial data documents were prepared according to the type of the organization. The results show that the number of relations between strategic drivers and information systems outsourcing success measures are more than the number of relations between financial drivers and information systems outsourcing success measures. Besides, strategic drivers influence each of the information system outsourcing success measures, whereas financial drivers affect only two of them.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the application of optimal alarm systems to non linear time series models. The most common classes of models in the analysis of real-valued and integer-valued time series are described. The construction of optimal alarm systems is covered and its applications explored. Considering models with conditional heteroscedasticity, particular attention is given to the Fractionally Integrated Asymmetric Power ARCH, FIAPARCH(p; d; q) model and an optimal alarm system is implemented, following both classical and Bayesian methodologies. Taking into consideration the particular characteristics of the APARCH(p; q) representation for financial time series, the introduction of a possible counterpart for modelling time series of counts is proposed: the INteger-valued Asymmetric Power ARCH, INAPARCH(p; q). The probabilistic properties of the INAPARCH(1; 1) model are comprehensively studied, the conditional maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method is applied and the asymptotic properties of the conditional ML estimator are obtained. The final part of the work consists on the implementation of an optimal alarm system to the INAPARCH(1; 1) model. An application is presented to real data series.
Esta tese centra-se na aplicação de sistemas de alarme ótimos a modelos de séries temporais não lineares. As classes de modelos mais comuns na análise de séries temporais de valores reais e de valores inteiros são descritas com alguma profundidade. É abordada a construção de sistemas de alarme ótimos e as suas aplicações são exploradas. De entre os modelos com heterocedasticidade condicional é dada especial atenção ao modelo ARCH Fraccionalmente Integrável de Potência Assimétrica, FIAPARCH(p; d; q), e é feita a implementação de um sistema de alarme ótimo, considerando ambas as metodologias clássica e Bayesiana. Tomando em consideração as características particulares do modelo APARCH(p; q) na aplicação a séries de dados financeiros, é proposta a introdução do seu homólogo para a modelação de séries temporais de contagens: o modelo ARCH de valores INteiros e Potência Assimétrica, INAPARCH(p; q). As propriedades probabilísticas do modelo INAPARCH(1; 1) são extensivamente estudadas, é aplicado o método da máxima verosimilhança (MV) condicional para a estimação dos parâmetros do modelo e estudadas as propriedades assintóticas do estimador de MV condicional. Na parte final do trabalho é feita a implementação de um sistema de alarme ótimo ao modelo INAPARCH(1; 1) e apresenta-se uma aplicação a séries de dados reais.

The banking industry is consolidating to streamline its operations through mergers and acquisitions, and is adopting new technologies to develop innovative products and services, thereby achieving both economies of scale and scope. Operational risk management has become a serious issue in the banking industry. Some reputed banks are either forced to close down their operations (eg., Citibank Private Bank in Japan) or faced cost overruns (eg., Barings Bank in England) due to poor operational risk management. In the supply chain industry, businesses are engaged in devising effective solutions using RFID technologies to locate and track the goods. We present the dynamics of banking industry in terms of operational risk management, innovation and business strategies. We also present the process mapping of RFID technology use in banking business areas to minimize operational risks. We further come-up with an effective operational risk management framework for banks to follow in improving their operational risk management.

Countrywide Financial was acquired by Bank of America on January 11th , 2008 for $4.1 B after losing $1.3B in 2007. Not only was it losing money, its financial prospects at the time looked bleak due to their large stake in subprime mortgages. This effective failure of Countrywide Financial set off a chain of events that eventually ended up almost crippling the global economy in late 2008 into early 2009. It will be shown that the financial crisis hit the housing market hard in 2007-2009 due to low mortgage standards in the preceding few years and an oscillating federal funds rate. Using publically available data from Countrywide Financial, prices of individual mortgage backed securities will be calculated using the standard pricing models and an author-developed simple pricing model that utilizes actual default rates at the time. Using these mortgage backed securities' prices along with a stakeholder value network analysis and system dynamics, it will be shown that Countrywide Financial could have been predicted to fail in the 2007-2008 time period. Suggestions for architecting a new housing market are then given after reviewing what was learned.
