A monitoring network that resolves the spatial and temporal variations of the water quality is essential in the sustainable management of water resources and pollution control. Due to cost concerns, it is important to optimize the monitoring locations so t ...
The FuturICT project seeks to use the power of big data, analytic models grounded in complexity science, and the collective intelligence they yield for societal benefit. Accordingly, this paper argues that these new tools should not remain the preserve of ...
Scale and resolution have long been key issues of geography. In recent years, the rapid development of desktop or Internet Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has forced a more precise consideration of these concepts. This research focuses on fitting the ...
Due to daylight variability, a design cannot be thoroughly assessed using single-moment simulations, which is why we need dynamic performance metrics like Daylight Autonomy and Useful Daylight Illuminance. Going one step further, the annual variation in pe ...
Applications of optimal matching analysis in the social sciences are typically based on sequences of specific social statuses that model the residential, family, or occupational trajectories of individuals. Despite the broadly recognized interdependence of ...
In this paper we consider piecewise affine models of genetic regulatory networks proposed by Glass and Kaufmann in the 70's and discuss a method for their identification. These systems have specific features that must be preserved by the identification pro ...
Radio frequency geophysical methods are known for being very versatile tools in ground- and groundwater investigation at shallow depths. They are fast and easy to use and allow a high density of information over large surfaces, which makes them very suitab ...
We consider a material having a constant true activation volume and estimate the apparent activation volume that it displays in cyclic creep or ratcheting. We show that cyclic stresses have an effect on the measured value, and that this can be accounted fo ...
Producing realistic surface water flow patterns can be difficult for hydrologic models when there is insufficient grid resolution as a result of computational constraints or when available digital elevation model (DEM) data are relatively coarse. This tech ...
A sensor network data gathering and visualization infrastructure is demonstrated, comprising of Global Sensor Networks (GSN) middleware and Microsoft SensorMap. Users are invited to actively participate in the process of monitoring real-world deployments a ...
