Optimal allocation of surface water resources at the provincial level in the Uzbekistan Region of the Amudarya River Basin by Wang, M., Chen, X., Sidike, A., Cao, L., DeMaeyer, P., Kurban, A.

“…Livestock, industrial, and municipality have the highest water allocation priority, and water competition mainly exists in the other two sectors of irrigation and ecology; (2) water allocation is redistributed among six different provinces, and allocated water only in Bukhara and Khorezm can satisfy the upper bound of water demand; (3) the ecological sector can receive a guaranteed water allocation of 8.237–12.354 km3; (4) under high incoming flow level, compared with the actual water distribution, the total allocated water of four sectors (except for ecology) is reduced by 3.706 km3 and total economic benefits are increased by USD 3.885B.…”

Abundance, diversity and geographic distribution of cassava mosaic disease pandemic-associated Bemisia tabaci in Tanzania by Tajebe, L., Boni, S.B., Guastella, D., Cavalieri, V., Lund, O., Rugumamu, C.P., Rapisarda, Carmelo, Legg, James P.

“…The CMD pandemic front was estimated to lie in Geita Region, north-western Tanzania, and to be spreading south-east at a rate of ca 26 km/year. The pandemic-associated B. tabaci SSA1-SG1 predominated up to 180 km ahead of the CMD front indicating that changes in whitefly population characteristics precede changes in disease characteristics.…”
