The Colorado River Upper Initial Units Take Center Stage, Eric Kuhn, Anne Castle, Jack Schmidt, Kathryn Sorensen, Katherine Tara

The Traveling Wilburys of the Colorado River

In 1956, Congress authorized the Upper Initial Units—Flaming Gorge Reservoir,

Navajo Reservoir, and the Aspinall Unit (UIUs)—for a variety of water use

purposes in the Upper Colorado River Basin, including compliance with the

1922 Colorado River Compact (1922 Compact). The historical record is clear

that the primary reason these reservoirs exist is to satisfy the math of the 1922

Compact and the obligations it imposed on the Upper Division States

regarding flows at Lee Ferry.

From Disaster To Resilience: Developing Smart Settlements In The Himalayas, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Nepal’s catastrophic 26 August 2026 Bhote Koshi–Trishuli flood should be understood not only as a humanitarian tragedy but also as a potentially major turning point in updating national settlement and reconstruction policy. Engineers and scientists have described the floods as a glacier–bedrock collapse that triggered an ice-rock avalanche and debris flow. As per the live updates on September 7, 2026, the total death toll was 1,355, and 4,996 people were missing (The Hindu, 2026). Indian and Nepali rescuers worked urgently to locate and rescue people buried under hydropower tunnels, buildings, mud, and landslide debris.

From Himalayan Catastrophe To National Resilience: Lessons From The 2026 Bhote Koshi And Trishuli River Floods In Nepal, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

On the morning of 26 August 2026, the mountains above Nepal’s northern frontier delivered a disaster of almost unimaginable speed and scale. A massive mass of ice, rock, and sediment detached in the high Himalayan terrain near the Nepal–Tibet border, descended roughly 1,200 metres, interacted with the Lhende Khola system, and generated a debris-rich flood that surged through the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridors, destroying settlements, markets, roads, bridges, hydropower facilities, and an international border crossing and transforming them into fields of mud, boulders, and wreckage within minutes (ICIMOD, 2026b; Reuters, 2026a). Satellite analysis indicates that a substantial section …

Sexual Education And Sti Prevention In High School: A Neutrosophic Analysis Of The Opportunities And Risks Of Generative Artificial Intelligence, Antonio Pioquinto Rivera, Gregorio Nunez Hernandez, Rosalinda Villa Juarez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a critical challenge during adolescence. Given the limitations of traditional sex education, generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has emerged as a personalized and anonymous consultation alternative. This study analyzes, from a neutrosophic perspective, the scientific evidence published between 2019 and 2026 on the use of GAI to strengthen STI prevention among high school students. Through a critical integrative review of thirteen reference studies, a matrix was built that classifies the findings across four dimensions (AI-mediated learning, sexual education, STI prevention, and educational equity) according to their truth (T), falsity (F), and indeterminacy (I) components. The results …

Beyond National Accuracy: A Neutrosophic Geographic Evidence Audit Of Preschool-Attendance Prediction In Ecuador (Ensanut 2018), Cindy Patricia Campoverde Vera

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Predictive models built on national surveys are usually summarized by one aggregate performance figure, yet a national metric may conceal large differences in how the model behaves across territories. We examined this problem with the 2018 Ecuadorian National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2018). A conventional Random Forest trained on five child and household variables reached a national accuracy of 64.83% against a majority-class baseline of 54.40%. This aggregate concealed substantial geographic heterogeneity: provincial accuracy ranged from 56.1% (Bolivar) to 78.0% (Canar). To represent this evidence without collapsing it into one number we formalize a Neutrosophic Geographic Evidence Audit (NGEA), …

Beyond Scalar Uncertainty: Independent Neutrosophic Evidence Coordinates For Conflict-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Yelandi Leyva Vazquez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines reduce the quality of retrieved evidence to one number, and common scalar uncertainty summaries conflate evidential distinctions that a three-coordinate representation keeps apart: insufficient, contradictory and explicitly indeterminate evidence. We use the non-normalized neutrosophic triple (T, I, F) as a testable multidimensional evidence representation, with independent channels for support, explicit indeterminacy and opposition, and subject its defining design principle to a controlled empirical test on a pre-specified battery built on Climate-FEVER, validated externally on ConfRAG. The independent triple gives the best five-way behaviour with the LLM evaluator; normalization deletes the magnitude that signals insufficiency. The benefit …

Neutrosophic Multi-Criteria Assessment Of The Structural Performance Of Finger-Jointed Glued Laminated Timber From Five Tropical Wood Species, Maria Angelica Flores-Romayna, Victor Augusto Araujo-Abanto, David Leon-Moreno, Lenin Vladimir Vargas-Villa, Guillermo Augusto Pastor-Picon, Noe Cristian Fachin-Vargas

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Previous studies on finger-jointed glued laminated timber typically compare mechanical properties in isolation through classical statistical tests, which limits the ability to answer a question of greater relevance for structural design: which species most consistently retains its mechanical performance under experimental uncertainty and contradictory behavior across indicators. This study comparatively assessed the structural performance of finger-jointed glued laminated timber from five tropical forest species by integrating physical-mechanical indicators, inferential statistics and a neutrosophic CRITIC-TOPSIS multi-criteria model. The CRITIC-TOPSIS model ranked moena itauba and tornillo with the highest structural aptitude under uncertainty, results confirmed as reasonably robust by a sensitivity analysis …

Field-Deployable Pose Estimation For Youth Athlete Screening: A Reproducible Protocol And Its Sensitivity Limits In A Genetically Controlled Case Series, Darvin Manuel Ramirez Guerra, Christian Edison De La Torre Choque, Jorge Guiseppe Herrera Chamorro, Jordi Kevin Flores Zabaleta

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Smartphone pose-estimation applications promise laboratory-grade biomechanical screening at negligible cost, an attractive prospect for youth sport programmes in low-resource settings. This paper contributes a reproducible field protocol for smartphone-based postural and jump screening, and reports its behaviour on a deliberately adversarial test case: a set of sex-discordant triplets (n = 3, age 13 years) who share prenatal environment, socioeconomic context and training history. The contribution is the protocol, the fully reported case data, and an explicit statement of what a criterion-validation study against force platforms and open pose estimators would need to establish before field screening claims can be sustained.

The Gap Between Fixed And Mobile Internet Accounts In Ecuador (2010-2022): A Linear Regression Model To Characterize And Project Its Evolution, Edison Mauricio Mosquera Simbana, Victor Manuel Tapia Casa, Rommel Eduardo Ronquillo Carangui

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Since 2010, internet access in Ecuador has grown in markedly different ways depending on the service modality: whereas mobile accounts multiplied, fixed accounts advanced at a far more restrained pace. This article analyzes the dated observations of fixed and mobile internet accounts published by the Telecommunications Regulation and Control Agency (ARCOTEL) between December 2010 and June 2022. The fixed-account model proved almost perfect (R2 = 0.995); the mobile-account model displayed greater unexplained variability (R2 = 0.901). As a complementary layer, a neutrosophic framework (truth/indeterminacy/falsity) is applied to the consistency of the figures across sources.

Mountain Development In Nepal: Settlements, Infrastructure, And Economic Transformation, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

As Nepal urbanizes, expands infrastructure, strengthens local governments, and explores deeper connectivity with India and China, climate change is increasing floods, landslides, heat, and water insecurity. Rapid internal migration, rising disaster risks, youth outmigration, and dependence on remittances are also revealing the limits of conventional urban development, especially in the mountainous region. The central challenge for Nepal is no longer just to accommodate growing towns and cities, but to build settlements that are safe, productive, environmentally resilient, and capable of sustaining long-term prosperity.

This paper argues that Nepal's urban future must be guided by a new development paradigm centered on …

Lessons From Tanzania’S Ujamaa For Smart Settlements In Nepal: Social Justice And Economic Development, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Nepal’s constitutional commitment to a “socialism-oriented” state places social justice, equitable access to resources and housing, and protection of marginalized populations at the center of national development discourse. However, persistent landlessness, informal settlements, unemployment, youth outmigration, and unequal access to infrastructure reveal a significant gap between constitutional aspirations and socioeconomic realities.

This article examines lessons Nepal can draw from Tanzania’s experience with Ujamaa, the African socialist development model initiated by President Nyerere in 1967. Using comparative policy analysis, published research, official documents, and exploratory field observations from selected Tanzanian locations, including the capital and villages in the Iringa Region, the …

Using Temporal Genomic Data To Uncover Patterns Of Genetic Diversity And Signatures Of Selection For Management Of A Threatened Minnow Species, Erika A. Dunn

Biology ETDs

The Little Colorado River (LCR) spinedace persists only in three isolated watersheds within the LCR Basin in Arizona. This imperiled minnow faces ongoing pressure from habitat alteration, climatic shifts, and invasive non-native predators. Over the past two decades, managers have translocated spinedace within watersheds to increase abundance and expand habitat occupancy. We sequenced a reference genome and analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 475 individuals over their geographic range. DNA samples were obtained from a previous study in the mid-1990s and compared with samples from 2024 and 2025, allowing us to track genetic diversity, effective population size, population structure, and …

Finding Fish Families: Movement And Demography Of Loach Minnow (Tiaroga Cobitis) Inferred From Gt-Seq-Enabled Kinship Analysis, Patrick C. Baca

Biology ETDs

River fragmentation poses major threats to freshwater biodiversity by reducing connectivity and limiting persistence of imperiled desert fishes. Connectivity in streams is impaired by anthropogenic changes, including road crossings, prompting the installation of engineered fish passage structures at low-water road crossings and raising questions about the dispersal of aquatic species across these structures. This thesis investigates the movement of the threatened Loach Minnow (Tiaroga cobitis) by applying a close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) framework in a restored stream (including a fish passage) and a stream without rehabilitation efforts. We developed and optimized a GT-seq panel for relatedness analysis and used it to …
