Hydrological Response of Land Use Land Cover Change on Stream Flow of Anger Watershed, Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
Abstract: ABSTRACT The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model was applied to simulate the streamflow from the Anger watershed (7,982 km2), located in Western Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. ArcGIS was applied to layer staking, mosaicking, image classification, and accuracy assessment. The purpose of the study was to examine the applicability of the SWAT model and to detect the effect of past land-use land-cover change on streamflow of the watershed. The …

Cloud Computing Data Storage
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Identity-based proxy re-encryption schemes have been proposed to shift the burden of managing numerous files from the owner to a proxy server. Nevertheless, the existing solutions suffer from several drawbacks. First, the access permission is determined by the central authority, which makes the scheme impractical. Second, they are insecure against collusion attacks. Finally, only queries from the same domain (intra-domain) are considered. We note that one of the main …
