In recent years we are experiencing a dramatic increase in the amount of available time-series data. Primary sources of time-series data are sensor networks, medical monitoring, financial applications, news feeds and social networking applications. Availab ...
In this thesis, a new experimental station was designed and built for the measurement of lightning currents. The station (Säntis Tower) was instrumented using advanced and modern equipment with remote monitoring for an accurate measurement of lightning cur ...
Query optimizers depend heavily on statistics representing column distributions to create efficient query plans. In many cases, though, statistics are outdated or non-existent, and the process of refreshing statistics is very expensive, especially for ad-h ...
We analyze the results from a flume experiment presented in a companion paper by Perona et al. [1] exploring the selective action of floods on pioneer riparian vegetation. We study the way seedlings react to periodic flow disturbances in the early stages o ...
The study of the dynamics taking place during power system blackouts is a subject that receives continuous attention in view of its inherent complexity and relevant consequences. Within this context, the paper aims at studying the role of the frequency con ...
Prediction in environmental systems, such as hydrological streamflow prediction, is a challenging task. Although on a small scale, many of the physical processes are well described, accurate predictions of macroscopical (e.g. catchment scale) behavior with ...
Investigating the colonization of river bars by pioneer vegetation, we discuss how the balance between uprooting by flooding events and reinforcement of plant roots determines the ability for vegetation to colonize the riverbed. In order to access the comp ...
Thin high-gradient interfaces that occur naturally within double-diffusive staircases are used to estimate the response characteristics of temperature and conductivity microstructure sensors. The knowledge of these responses is essential for resolving smal ...
The constant amplitude fatigue behavior of adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer double-lap joints were modeled by a number of conceptually different phenomenological SN (cyclic stress vs. number of cycle) formulations. An extended dat ...
The concentrations of 11 crustal and anthropogenic trace metals (Li, Al, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) were measured from 2006 to 2008 in the atmospheric aerosol at a northwestern Mediterranean coast (station of Cap Ferrat, situated on the southeaster ...
