A water balance model was used to simulate the long-term increases in water yield with forest age which are observed in the mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests of Victoria, Australia. Speciยฎcally, the hypothesis was tested that water yield changes could be explained by changes in evapotranspir

โฆ Synopsis
Instability of models used in long term planning of large scale industrial projects is demonstrated. The uncertainty band around the balance set is introduced to account for unpredictable variations of important parameters or utilities created by instability in multi-objective optimization of large scale projects. Then, instability of dynamic models of growth is considered including population dynamics with saturation and long term optimal planning in social and economic spheres. A method of successive refinement in a synthetic multi-model system is proposed, and application of the sequence of refined models is illustrated on a real-life example of construction of a dam with yearly refinements of the initial model, based on past history of project realization.

## Abstract A method was developed that allows biofilm monitoring on the square centimeter scale over extended periods of time. The method is based on image acquisition using a desktop scanner and subsequent image analysis. It was shown that results from grey level analysis are highly correlated wi
