Full textLa glace de rive est un des nombreux processus de formation des couverts de glace sur les rivières. Cependant peu d’articles dans la littérature traitent de ce sujet malgré que la formation de la glace de rive peut-être un précurseur de l’apparition d’embâcles qui peuvent entrainer des inondations. Ce mémoire de Maitrise porte sur l’étude de la glace de rive le long de la portion du fleuve Saint-Laurent allant de Montréal à Québec. Du fait qu’il y a de la navigation commerciale toute l’année, le fleuve reste ouvert (libre d’un couvert de glace entier) artificiellement pendant tout l’hiver. Ce trafic limite aussi l’extension de la glace de rive. Cette étude fournit des informations clés sur la formation et la désagrégation de la glace de rive. À partir des données historiques d’Environnement Canada (cartes des glaces de 2004 à 2009), la répartition superficielle de la glace de rive est analysée pour les périodes de formation, de stabilité et de rupture de la glace. Les informations historiques sur les couvertures de glace sont collectées afin de déterminer les paramètres qui influencent la formation et les limites spatiales de ce type de glace. Les taux de croissance et de décomposition de la glace de rive sont aussi abordés. Il est montré que l’évolution de la structure propre à la couverture de la glace de rive se fait en trois étapes. Une période de formation rapide (début hiver), suivie d’une période stable (milieu d’hiver) et enfin une période de rupture (pendant le moi de mars). Pendant la période stable, la glace de rive se rompt partiellement parfois lorsque la température de l’air monte au dessus de zéro °C et surtout lorsque le redoux est accompagné de pluie. Il a été trouvé aussi que les limites spatiales maximales des glaces de rive sont très semblables sur 5 hivers de la période d’étude. À partir de l’analyse des cartes des glaces, un certain nombre de relations empiriques sont proposées. Ces relations caractérisent la formation et la désagrégation des glaces de rive. Le long de la direction de l’écoulement la glace de rive est formée facilement en présence d’obstacles, et particulièrement lorsqu’elles sont à l’extrémité aval. Parmi ces obstacles on peut citer les méandres de rivière, les bancs, les estacades, les iles artificielles, les piliers de ponts. Ainsi, les obstacles influencent la vitesse d’écoulement qui est un paramètre important dans la formation de la glace et peut aussi effectuer un apport d’objets sur lesquels la glace peut s’attacher et initier son accroissement. En moyenne la glace de rive atteint 20% de sa couverture maximale lorsque son le nombre de degrés jours accumulés (DJA) atteint 124 °C-j. Ceci est suivi d’une période d’accroissement rapide qui prend fin lorsque la couverture de glace atteint 80% de son maximum qui correspond à un DJA de 247 °C-j. La couverture de glace de rive atteint son maximum lorsque le DJA atteint 551 °C-j; ce qui correspond normalement à la période de fin janvier. La période d’hiver est caractérisée par une couverture de glace stable (supérieure à 90% de son maximum) en amont de Trois-Rivières, sauf pendant les périodes de dégel mi hivernales. À l’aval de Trois-Rivières, il n’y a pas de période stable, vu que la désagrégation commence très tôt après que la glace ait cru à son étendu maximal. La rupture est un processus graduel qui normalement commence vers le 15 février en aval de Trois-Rivières et vers le premier mars en amont. La grande majorité de la glace disparait généralement avant le 31 mars. Par ailleurs, la vitesse d’écoulement de la rivière, ainsi que sa profondeur et son nombre de Froude le long des limites de la glace de rive sont évalués. Ceci dans la condition où la glace de rive a atteint sa répartition superficielle maximale. La vitesse est presque toujours inférieure à 1 m/s, le nombre de Froude maximal est normalement de 0,1 au dans le Lac St Pierre et de 0,2 sur le tronçon Montréal-Sorel. La profondeur de la rivière à la limite de la glace peut varier largement. À partir d’une modélisation numérique, il a été calculé que la glace de rive cause une augmentation de la vitesse de 0,1 m/s dans le chenal maritime du Lac St Pierre et du niveau d’eau de 14 cm dans le tronçon Montréal-Sorel.

Internationally, analysts have increased their technical sophistication and geographical scope of water issues and water-management policies. They have determined the impacts of water quality and demand upon ecological systems, and they have framed policies for the management of watersheds. I examine a subset of these issues in relation to the Hong Kong-Guangdong region as part of a Hong-Kong/Pearl River Delta studio in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. The study site is a basin, and, as such, it is comprised of a number of catchments. The water sources are mainly in the Guangdong region, while the water demand is spread across the region. This leads to an imbalance in water supply and demand and to the need for a cross-agency, cross-border integrated approach, with joint consideration by all governmental units of environmental, land-use, and water issues. I focus on three important issues: (1) governance of water allocation, (2) environmental pollution, and (3) cross-border management. I make the following two key recommendations for coordinated action: * Hong Kong should consider providing funding for investments in wastewater treatment in the Pearl River Delta. Hong Kong has invested substantially in its own wastewater treatment systems. Well-structured expenditure on wastewater treatment in the Pearl River Delta will have a much greater impact on water quality than a similar level of expenditure aimed at further improving Hong Kong's extensive system of wastewater treatment. " To solve the complex environmental problems, the Hong Kong government should consider cooperating with local governments in the Pearl River Delta, and not just the provincial government. As a first step to improving the effectiveness of the Environmental Protection Liaison Group, local environmental bureaus should be represented.

Full textThe aim of this case study is to analyse cooperation mainly in issues related to water management in the area along the Miño river. The study focuses on the Spanish municipalities that limit with the river and that are in the border area with Portugal. There was a key issue which was discovered during the reading and analysis of data, a change of no cooperation to cooperation on the Spanish-Portuguese border. There was previously a political culture of no cooperation among the autonomous regions in Spain, which could have affected cooperation with the region of north Portugal. The fact the both countries have different administrative cultures could also impede cooperation. Nevertheless cooperation seems to have developed and in order to study this phenomenon the researcher uses a qualitative method and relies on a choice of institutional theories. This research studies how institutions affect cooperation in this particular case. The theories will analyse the impact of political institutions and the relation between institutions and individuals. They also help to identify how human behaviour affects processes and events.

Full textThis tesis concerns about the relations between workers, militants linked to the Communist Party of Brazil (PCB) and the border community of Santana do Livramento and Rivera, since the installation in the region of the Armour meat packers company, and especially during the period of redemocratization of Brazilian society which followed the end of ―Estado Novo‖, in a cut that covers the period from 1945 to 1954. The objective is to reveal the political articulations and workers' struggles that had as protagonists the militants linked to the PCB and the border society in the period in which the party Lived a brief moment of legality, which would eventually lead to strong repression and the slaughter that occurred on September 24, 1950, on the dividing line between Brazil and Uruguay. Divided into four chapters, it seeks to historicize the trajectory of men and women who took part in this search for rights and social justice in a society that had in the great multinational factory the motor of development and also concentration of powers. In order to do so, it uses a set of sources composed of interviews, periodicals, private collections, Annals of the Constituent Assembly of 1946 and the Council of Councilors of Santana do Livramento, literary texts and manuscripts.

Full textSocial and spatial complexity is the most outstanding feature of contemporary cities. Spatial complexity is enhanced by new patterns of urban expansion informed by the restructuring of interactions between social categories which consider more often new forms of social and economic segmentation. These processes are mediated by mobility across national borders which have their functions updated by economic integration within geographical regions such as MERCOSUL. In this context, cities located along international borderlines acquire new functions related to their role as transnational integration hubs. It also calls attention to conurbation processes between twin cities. Geographical research has been particularly keen in investigating these processes addressing a wide range of typical cross border conurbations. Classification is based on interaction patterns and fluxes intensity between its parts, usually targeting cooperative strategies, economic and commuting between cities to evaluate their strength and hierarchical position amidst regional urban nets. These classifications are based on spatial continuity, contiguity and, especially, on shared or complementary functional centralities, since lower level economical activities such as street commerce are forces driving the conurbation process. Here these conurbations are described and analyzed as spatial configurations using Space Syntax theory and methods to verify structural similarities which enable to classify them as a distinguished urban type. The problem focuses on the urban system relational hierarchy of spatial integrationsegregation, accessibility-connectivity allowing the evaluation of these conurbations spatial patterns performance in relation to the emergence of transborder functional centralities, grassroots commercial networks nodes and middlemen minorities agency. Our hypothesis is that those conurbations cannot be described as a social and spatial configuration through its parts without risking obliterating the role material space has on regulating human interactions.

Full textTibet is the widest and highest plateau on Earth. Tectonics, climate evolution and ante-surrection geomorphology are the main factors controlling the plateau formation. In order to assess the relative influence of these factors, we study the relief evolution on the plateau edges using geomorphic analysis, sedimentology and exhumation rates based on low-temperature thermochronometry.The results show that the western and eastern plateau edges were already at high elevation at ca 35 Ma, only 20 Ma after the India-Asia collision. This favors an “en bloc” uplift model for the plateau.In western Tibet, the hydrographic network was connected to the Indus river, allowing the early development of a >1000 m amplitude relief, probably before 35 Ma. The relief was preserved due to low erosion conditions. Western Tibet was then isolated from the Indus drainage network due to the Karakorum fault slip.The relief formation in Eastern Tibet is older than in western Tibet: at ca 35 Ma, in the Jianchuan area (northern Yunnan), which was already at high elevation, was a large braided river system. This implies a moderate regional slope. It also implies a local relief further north and significant precipitations

Full textThe International Border is an area of ambiguous characteristics because it is the point that separates and also the area of constant contact between two nations. More specifically the Platina Border that comprehends the borders of Brazil and Uruguay, and Brazil and Argentina, our focus of study, is a space that carries a history and a memory of union, where the ambiguities became more clear as we investigated the local peculiarities in the twin cities. We have the objective of investigating the urban space of the twin cities where the manifestations of the border are lived everyday. The cities chosen to represent the Platina Border were Santana do Livramento (BR) and Rivera (UY), and Uruguaiana (BR) and Paso de los Libres (AR), due to the dynamics and regional importance. For the study, we took the present theoretical articulations of the border and we looked for interactions with the theory of the land, of the territoriality, the daily life and the memory. The reports and mind maps from different generations of residents of the border, from non-directive interviews and life stories, allowed us to understand the local daily practices, its symbolic and material dimensions as builders of these spaces. The conclusion of the thesis is that bordering areas are transitions areas, and that transition areas can be even more particular where the intersections take place, the space of binational integration. Even if the urban spaces do not meet literally, the spaces of binational integration are identified from the territoriality. After dealing with the locus, we can say that the border has an area of intersection, being material, within the urban space, or symbolic, due to the neighbouring memories and territoriality. We call the spaces binational integration spaces.

Full textThis study aims to analyze both integration and cooperation actions concerning the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, in order to understand the meaning for the contemporary borders subject as well as understanding the dynamics for bi-national cooperation regarding health at the border between these two countries. It is worth highlighting that Brazil has a border line of 15.719km, limited to ten (10) countries in South America, covering eleven (11) states and five hundred and eighty-eight cities (588). The border line with the other Mercosul countries covers 69 cities and an estimated population of 1,438,206 inhabitants. That s the reason, it is justified the initiatives of studies and research on the border matter attempting to modify the widespread culture from the past, in which the border was a "space problem", having a new approach focusing on the region as a space full of opportunities for both economic and social development enriching thus the citizenship. It is also addressed to certain dynamics of social relations performed in this area taking as analytical perspective, the process of cooperation between health services located in the neighboring cities of Santana do Livramento, in Brazil, and Rivera, in Uruguay. Therefore, whose main goal is to study the experience of cooperation between health services from the actions developed and issued by the Committee on Binational Health Integration - Santana do Livramento / Rivera. Regarding the idea that both local and global relations shape the cooperative actions between the two cities citizens, and that they acquire a particular dynamics for their relations with constant new meanings, regarding, then, this territorial border, as it aims to rate its size, since the border area experience shows both approaching and ongoing conflicts, and that it is being opened up to new possibilities for expanding the influence to strengthen both centrality and social development for these two regions
Este estudo tem como proposta analisar as ações de cooperação e integração estabelecida entre a República Federativa do Brasil e a República Oriental do Uruguai, com vistas a compreender a dinâmica da cooperação binacional para a saúde na fronteira entre os dois países, ampliando o entendimento sobre o significado da fronteira no contexto contemporâneo. É importante destacar que o Brasil tem uma linha de fronteira de 15.719km, limitando-se com dez (10) países da América do Sul, abrangendo onze (11) estados e quinhentos e oitenta e oito municípios (588). A linha de fronteira, em especial com os países do Mercosul, abarca 69 municípios e uma população estimada em 1.438.206 habitantes. Nesse contexto, justificam-se os estudos e pesquisas sobre a temática fronteiriça, na tentativa de modificar a cultura difundida no passado, na qual a fronteira era um ―espaço-problema‖, para uma nova concepção que privilegia a região como um espaço pleno de oportunidades para o desenvolvimento econômico e social e a valorização da cidadania. Aborda, ainda, certas dinâmicas das relações sociais exercitadas nesta zona, tomando, como perspectiva de análise, o processo de cooperação entre os serviços sanitários localizados nas cidades limítrofes de Santana do Livramento, no Brasil e Rivera, Uruguai. Assim tem como objetivo central estudar a experiência de cooperação entre os serviços de saúde a partir de ações elaboradas e emanadas do Comitê Binacional de Integração em Saúde - Santana do Livramento/Rivera. Parte-se da idéia que as relações entre o local e o global conformam as ações cooperadas entre as duas sociedades, as quais adquirem uma dinâmica particular por suas relações estarem em constantes ressignificações em territorialidade fronteiriça. Visa, ainda, apreender sua dimensão, já que, na experiência da fronteira, área de aproximações e conflitos permanentes, estão sendo abertas novas possibilidades para ampliar a influência e reforçar a centralidade e o desenvolvimento social destas regiões

Full textThis thesis is a study of the relationship between the state and illegal acts on the margins of the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, having as an empirical object the border towns of Santana do Livramento (BR) and Rivera (UY). This investigation seeks to build a sociological analysis of the border, breaking with the nationalist methodology that involves concepts such as crime, violence and border areas. In order to do that, we propose an analysis of how these states Brazil and Uruguay operate on their borders, through Foucault\'s devices: Sovereignty, Discipline and Government, in order to understand to what extent the practices and discourses approach and distance themselves from this process, in an attempt to evidence other possible borders along country lines, outcomes of the meeting/separation between Sovereignty and Social Dynamics of these countries. Thus, we verify that the borders common customs and economy differentiate tolerances in the management of what is legal and illegal and what is moral and immoral, creating a Border Market, in which state limits are expanded and boundary lines are redesigned by the common life.

Full textThis dissertation aims to examine the articulation of networks of solidarity and resistance in Brazil-Uruguay border, triggered by the establishment of civil-military dictatorship in 1964 and seeks to examine the formulation of policies and the trigger of specific practices by Brazilian authorities to Rio Grande do Sul border in the context in question. More specifically, the study focused on the cities of Rivera and Santana do Livramento, the main urban center between both countries. In this sense, there is the fact that with the advent of the coup d'état, a significant number of Brazilians crossed the border in question to seek refuge in the neighboring country. In this context, Uruguay became the primary address of the exiles. The process now marked elicited the formation of networks of solidarity in the aforesaid boundary, which were responsible for welcoming those who crossed or even those who remained there, a few feet from the international boundary line. The movement of exiles in the adjacent country areas, as well as the strong influence of the trabalhismo in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, contributed to the formulation of specific policies by the intelligence and security systems of the dictatorship. We opted, therefore, for the study of the period from the coup in Brazil in 1964 and the coup in Uruguay in 1973. The timeframes in question include, on the one hand, the beginnings of Brazilian exile in the neighboring country, in the context analyzed. On the other hand, they mark the abandonment of the Uruguayan tradition of acceptance of exiles since the imposition of intense repressive policies, responsible for triggering new exiles of Brazilians, but also of Uruguayans. On the border now under consideration, the fact in question raised the displacement of many opponents from side to side of the international line, reversing, to some extent, the direction of the passage, now from Uruguay to Brazil. Throughout the research work were considered conjunctural changes, the border agents of both countries and the impact on the region, understood as a framework of regionally and internationally established connections.
Esta tesis tiene como objetivo examinar la articulación de redes de solidaridad y resistencia en la frontera Brasil-Uruguay, provocadas por el establecimiento de la dictadura civil-militar en 1964 y tiene por objeto examinar la formulación de políticas y el accionar de prácticas específicas por parte de las autoridades brasileñas al sur de la región de la frontera de Rio Grande do Sul, en el contexto en cuestión. De forma más específica, el estudio se centró en las ciudades gemelas de Santana do Livramento y Rivera, principal centro urbano entre ambos países. En este sentido, se destaca el hecho de que con el advenimiento del golpe de Estado, un número importante de brasileños cruzó esa frontera para buscar refugio en el país vecino. En este contexto, Uruguay se convirtió en el principal lugar de llegada de los exiliados. El proceso ahora marcado provocó la formación de redes de solidaridad en la frontera antes mencionada, las cuales fueron las encargadas de acoger a los que cruzaron o incluso los que se quedaron allí, a pocos metros de la línea divisoria internacional. El movimiento de los exiliados en las áreas adyacentes al territorio nacional, así como la fuerte influencia del trabalhismo en el estado de Rio Grande do Sul, contribuyeron a la formulación de políticas específicas por parte de los sistemas de inteligencia y de seguridad de la dictadura. Optamos, por lo tanto, a estudiar el período comprendido entre el golpe de Estado en Brasil en 1964 y el golpe de Estado en Uruguay en 1973. Los marcos temporales en cuestión incluyen, por un lado, los orígenes del exilio de Brasil en el país vecino, en el contexto analizado, conforme referido. De otro, marca el fin de la tradición uruguaya de recepción de asilados ante la imposición de intensas políticas represivas, responsables por desencadenar nuevos exilios, tanto de brasileños, como también de uruguayos. En la frontera que ahora se examina, el hecho en cuestión generó el desplazamiento de muchos opositores de un lado a otro de la línea internacional, invirtiendo, en cierta medida, la dirección del paso, ahora desde Uruguay a Brasil. A lo largo del trabajo de investigación se consideraron los cambios coyunturales, los agentes fronterizos de ambos países y el impacto en la región, marco de las conexiones establecidas regional e internacionalmente.

Full textFirst of all on a small scale, then further along, on a much larger scale, the kpayo trade which means smuggling of gas and other oil products from Nigeria to Bénin, depend on almost 100 000 persons living on this sale activity. This trade might be quite different if gas transported by means of ships on the sea, by the river, or by scooters or trucks on the road. This kind of informal trade gives way to different kinds of odd jobs we mention in the PHD: bringing the jerrycans to the beach, reshaping scooters and trucks in a garage. Most of all this illicit activity needs some kind of a kinship network and political pull among the police and customs officers of the Republic. Empirical research has been done in different fields such as a gas station, a seaside village, a market on the country border, a landing stage, a warehouse, it led to the comprehension of the way smugglers are supplied. I was thus able to understand the process by which gas was transported from Nigeria to the Republic of Bénin, and see all the byways the smugglers are used to take, and the risks taken all along the journey. I examined the interaction process between the racketeers and the police when they passed a checkpoint; see how the markets were busy, and last managed to see how the the different roles of subjects interact. The racketeers networks analysis, life stories, different action strategies, the way they accumulate and the study of informal economy related to law contribute in this PhD to an essay in economic- anthropology with geographic standpoints, and a sociological analysis of precarious lives and Big Shots

The utilization and development of water resources has become the focus of non-traditional security in the world politics. There are many transnational rivers between China and India. Yarlung Zangbo River is the largest and most important cross-border river between China and India. It has not yet signed a bilateral water resource allocation agreement. This paper analyzes development proposals of both sides, the norms of international law and the case of international dispute settlement introduced with possible dispute resolution methods such as international law mechanism, bilateral relations, multilateral relations and international organization mechanism. Although this paper argues that China-India cross-border river water disputes should be resolved by bilateral relations, the unsolved territorial disputes and lack of political mutual trust on both sides would undermine it, thus, if bilateral mutual trust can be gradually enhanced through cooperation in other fields, then water resources issues might be solved.

Haulage trucks and cross border traders cross through Beitbridge border post from landlocked countries such as Zimbabwe and Zambia for the sake of trading. Because of global warming, South Africa has lately been experiencing extreme weather patterns in the form of very high temperatures and heavy rainfall. Evidently, in 2013 tra c could not cross the Limpopo River because water was owing above the bridge. For planning, its important to predict the likelihood of such events occurring in future. Extreme value models o er one way in which this can be achieved. This study identi es suitable distributions to model the annual maximum heights of Limpopo river at Beitbridge border post. Maximum likelihood method and the Bayesian approach are used for parameter estimation. The r -largest order statistics was also used in this dissertation. For goodness of t, the probability and quantile- quantile plots are used. Finally return levels are calculated from these distributions. The dissertation has revealed that the 100 year return level is 6.759 metres using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches to estimate parameters. Empirical results show that the Fr echet class of distributions ts well the ood heights data at Beitbridge border post. The dissertation contributes positively by informing stakeholders about the socio- economic impacts that are brought by extreme flood heights for Limpopo river at Beitbridge border post

Under China’s Western Development Strategy, the Chinese government decided to develop hydro power, mining, and tourism as the first priority programs in south-west region based on the characteristics of the weather condition and nature resources. The Border Trade occurred long ago owing to the location advantage of south-west region between China and Indochina peninsula. Furthermore, as China improved the relationship with Indochina peninsula countries in 1990s, they cooperated to construct the facilities, such as transportation, hydro power, and tourism. It deepened the economic relation with each other. Finally, ACFTA which was signed in 2002 is a framework to integrate the regional economy. In that way, we firmly believe that it will accelerate the regional economic integration between south-west China and south-east Asia eventually.

In 1992, the United Nations held the Earth Summit in Rio, Brazil. 155 countries had signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). After the earth summit, the United Nation established Committee of Sustainable Development (CSD). Follow by those treaties, the consciousness of development and sustainability issues are rising. For example, in 2002, World Summit on Sustainable Development was held in Johannesburg, South Africa. Being apart from the Earth Summit, The United Nations held the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012, Rio Brazil. During twenty years, the technology has great improvement in developing and fulfilling human needs. However, human never stop facing nature disaster and those nature disasters are getting worse and worse. To ensure sustainable development of the environment and ecological resources are urgent issues. Road construction is the foundation of a country's economic development. In the pursuit of economic growth rate, road infrastructure project has been played most important roles. However, when we are pursuing the wealth of our lives, it will cause a lot of irreparable damage to our mother nature. How to make a balance between the environment and sustainable development is an important topic for today. This research will focus on road construction works which caused enormous environmental damage. We will use the seventeen sub-indicators that are under eight indicators groups of sustainable public works as references. The evaluate projects will be seventy-four indicators. Those indicators will evaluate standards compliant of rapid life cycle in round river high way’s Yonghe District in Taipei metropolitan area. According to the result of the evaluation, we can provide the basis reference for future road construction. We hope we can build a carbon reduction effect of public works and fulfill environmental protection to achieve our goal of earth sustainable.
