Catchment residence and travel time distributions: The master equation

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Gianluca Botter

The probability density functions (pdf's) of travel and residence times are key descriptors of the mechanisms through which catchments retain and release old and event water, transporting solutes to receiving water bodies. In this paper we analyze theoreti ...

Acidophilic bacteria in Deep Groundwaters of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin after Extensive Uranium Leaching

Pierre Rossi

The Stráž pod Ralskem region is a part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. The geological profile of the site consists of Quaternary river sediments, Middle Turonian sandstone, Lower Turonian siltstone and Cenomanian collector formed by friable sandstone con ...

Influence of natural attenuation and river fluctuations on benzene dispersion in an alluvial aquifer subject to strong interactions with surface water

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar

A contaminated alluvial aquifer, in a former gasworks factory and discharging to an adjacent river, was the object of field and laboratory investigations to assess pollutant attenuation and dispersion. Various organic and inorganic compounds were found in ...

Benzene dispersion and natural attenuation in an alluvial aquifer with strong interactions with surface water

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar, David Hunkeler

Field and laboratory investigations have been conducted at a former coke plant, discharging to an adjacent river, in order to assess pollutant attenuation in a contaminated alluvial aquifer. Various organic (BTEX, PAHs, mineral oils) and inorganic (As, Zn, ...

Towards Generic Detection of Unusual Events in Video Surveillance

Touradj Ebrahimi, Frédéric Dufaux, Ivan Ivanov

In this paper, we consider the challenging problem of unusual event detection in video surveillance systems. The proposed approach makes a step toward generic and automatic detection of unusual events in terms of velocity and acceleration. At first, the mo ...

Sensitivity of ancient Lake Ohrid to local anthropogenic impacts and global warming

Alfred Johny Wüest

Human impacts on the few ancient lakes of the world must be assessed, as any change can lead to an irreversible loss of endemic communities. In such an assessment, the sensitivity of Lake Ohrid (Macedonia/Albania; surface area A = 358 km(2), volume V = 55 ...

Is phosphorus retention in autochthonous lake sediments controlled by oxygen or phosphorus?

Alfred Johny Wüest, Beat Mueller

Eutrophication of various lakes on the Swiss Plateau was targeted in the 1980s by reducing external nutrient loading and installing aeration/oxygenation systems. For five eutrophic lakes, three of which have been artificially oxygenated and aerated for alm ...

Long-term optimal aeration strategies for small-size alternating activated sludge treatment plants

Benoît Chachuat

This paper discusses the influence of time horizon on dynamic optimization of small-size wastewater treatment plants alternating aerobic and anoxic processes. The optimization problem consists in determining the aeration policy (air-on and air-off periods) ...

Semi-supervised Adapted HMMs for Unusual Event Detection

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Samy Bengio, Dong Zhang

We address the problem of temporal unusual event detection. Unusual events are characterized by a number of features (rarity, unexpectedness, and relevance) that limit the application of traditional supervised model-based approaches. We propose a semi-supe ...

Fate of volatile fluorinated compounds in the subsurface

Christian Balsiger

Since their discovery around 1930, the synthetic compounds of the class of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been produced and used worldwide at very large scale. Their physico-chemical properties (non-flammability, chemical inertia, miscibility with water a ...
