Stochastic modeling in sediment dynamics: Exner equation for planar bed incipient bed load transport conditions

Christophe Ancey

Even under flow equilibrium conditions, river bed topography continuously evolves with time, producing trains of irregular bed forms. The idea has recently emerged that the variability in the bed form geometry results from some randomness in sediment flux. ...

On the tidal prism–channel area relations

Andrea Rinaldo

We verify the broad applicability of tidal prism cross-sectional area relationships, originally proposed to relate the total water volume entering a lagoon during a characteristic tidal cycle (the tidal prism) to the size of its inlet, to arbitrary shelter ...

Interpretation of neuronal response properties with simplified neuron models

Laurent Badel

Computational neuroscience is a branch of the neurosciences that attempts to elucidate the principles underlying the operation of neurons with the help of mathematical modeling. In contrast with a number of fields pursuing a tightly related goal, such as m ...

Regional climate model data used within the SWURVE project. 2: Addressing uncertainty in regional climate model data for five European case study areas

Abdelkader Mezghani

To aid assessments of climate change impacts on water related activities in the case study regions (CSRs) of the EC funded project SWURVE, estimates of uncertainty in climate model data need to be developed. In this paper, two methods to estimate uncertain ...

Optimal control of mass transfer in peritoneal dialysis

Diego Mastalli

The aim of this work is to set up mathematical models and numerical methods to investigate the mass transfer process occurring during the peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. More precisely the final goal is the set up of tools to find for each patient submit ...

Gradient estimates of return distributions

Samy Bengio, Christos Dimitrakakis

We present a general method for maintaining estimates of the distribution of parameters in arbitrary models. This is then applied to the estimation of probability distributions over actions in value-based reinforcement learning. While this approach is simi ...

A geomorphic study of lagoonal landforms

Andrea Rinaldo

We perform an analysis of the observational morphological structure of a tidal landscape aimed at examining key assumptions on the geomorphological evolution of wetlands, lagoons, estuarine areas and tidal environments in general. The issues addressed pert ...

Tidal landforms, patterns of halophytic vegetation and the fate of the lagoon of Venice

Andrea Rinaldo

We review recent advances in the study of tidal landforms and their embedded vegetation patterns within the lagoon of Venice, aiming at clues on the coevolution of their morphodynamic and ecological features. The observation and analysis of network and veg ...

On the drainage density of tidal networks

Andrea Rinaldo

The drainage density of a network is conventionally defined as (proportional to) the ratio of its total channelized length divided by the watershed area, and in practice, it is defined by the statistical distribution and correlation structure of the length ...

Fuzzy Systems with Overlapping Gaussian Concepts: Approximation Properties in Sobolev Norms

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

In this paper the approximating capabilities of fuzzy systems with overlapping Gaussian concepts are considered. The target function is assumed to be sampled either on a regular gird or according to a uniform probability density. By exploiting a connection ...
