The Mahomet Aquifer

Abstract

Emerging intrastate transboundary issues focus on use of the Mahomet aquifer, which underlies about fifteen counties and many other political entities in east-central Illinois. This sand and gravel aquifer in the lower part of the buried Mahomet Bedrock Valley ranges between four and fourteen miles wide and from about 50 to 200 feet thick. Much of the region's rural population, several large communities, and many small towns obtain water from the Mahomet aquifer, as do industrial, agricultural, and commercial users. Increased development of the Mahomet aquifer to meet growing demands for water has caused conflicts over real or perceived adverse effects. One result has been the creation of fifteen resource protection zones and twelve water authorities. For groundwater supplies, resource protection zones help municipalities protect water-supply wells from potential adverse impacts. Many resource protection zones overlap one another, however, so this situation could lead to disputes over use of the resource. The reason that several of the twelve water authorities were organized was to meet a challenge perceived from a demand to be placed on the aquifer, in other words, a potential for conflict of use. Complicating the situation is that some of the water authorities overlap the resource protection zones. This could lead to disputes not only about water use, but also over which jurisdiction has the authority to settle a dispute. The Mahomet Aquifer Consortium was recently organized by concerned people representing diverse groundwater interests at the local level, including the private sector, professional organizations, and various governmental units. The consortium brings together representatives of some groups that typically did not communicate with each other in the past. The consortium may provide a forum through which emerging transboundary issues pertaining to use of the Mahomet aquifer can be addressed. Because the consortium is a voluntary organization that relies on consensus building, the success it may achieve in resolving future conflicts over groundwater use from the Mahomet aquifer remains to be seen.     

认知风格差异田径运动员竞赛焦虑与竞技水平发挥的关系

为研究中国田径项目高水平运动员不同认知风格的赛前竞赛焦虑特征及与竞技水平发挥程度的关系,采用镶嵌图形测验和竞赛状态焦虑问卷的方法,对15个省、市93名优秀田径运动员进行调查。结果显示：场依存运动员竞技水平发挥率与认知状态焦虑、躯体状态焦虑均呈负相关,与状态自信心正相关。场独立运动员竞技水平发挥率与认知状态焦虑呈负相关,与躯体状态焦虑、状态自信心呈正相关。场独立组运动员低认知状态焦虑、高躯体状态焦虑与状态自信心,竞技水平发挥率更好。场依存组运动员低认知状态焦虑与躯体状态焦虑、高状态自信心,竞技水平发挥率更好。场依存组运动员的竞技水平发挥率与认知状态焦虑各组负相关、与躯体状态焦虑、状态自信心各组均呈正相关。场独立运动员的竞技水平发挥率与两组不同水平的认知状态焦虑、状态自信心呈正相关,与高躯体状态焦虑组中度负相关,与低组呈低度负相关。

Impact of Online Community Structure on Information Propagation: Empirical Analysis and Modeling

Online social networking sites (OSNS), as a popular social media platform, have been developed massively for business and research purposes. In this paper, it investigated the impact of community structure in online social network on information propagation. A SI (Susceptible-Infected) model based on community structure was proposed. In the SI model, the heterogeneity of user’s active time was taken into account. From the results, it was found that the number of links among communities determines the fraction of infected nodes. With the increase of the number of groups G, however, the fraction of infected nodes remains approximately constant. The simulation results will be of great significance: the information will last relatively short for group networks which have either a small or a large number of groups. The results can be useful for optimizing or controlling information, such as propagating rumors in online social networks.
