Reservoir sedimentation is, at present, one of the main concerns in the operational management of dams in the Alps. For larger seasonal storage reservoirs, the main operational concern is the blockage of bottom outlets and turbine abrasion. In case of infr ...
We prove that the quantifier-free fragment of the theory of character strings with regular language membership constraints and linear integer constraints over string lengths is decidable. We do that by describing a sound, complete and terminating tableaux ...
We present a statistical framework to automatically determine an associated color for a given arbitrary semantic expression. The expression can not only be a color name but any word or character string. In addition to the color value, we are also able to c ...
The string method is a general and flexible strategy to compute the most probable transition path for an activated process (rare event). We apply here the atomistic string method in the density field to the Cassie-Wenzel transition, a central problem in th ...
