Abstract: This work explores the dynamics of arrays of globally and dissipatively coupled resonators. These resonator arrays are shown to be capable of exhibiting seemingly new collective behaviors which are highly sensitive to the ...

Abstract: This work describes the modeling, analysis, predictive design, and control of self-excited oscillators, and associated arrays, founded upon electromagnetically-actuated microbeams. The study specifically ...

Abstract: This paper describes the application of artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) methods for prediction of field hydraulic conductivity of clay liners based on in situ test results such as compaction ...

Abstract: This paper describes the assumptions, equations, and procedures of the RheaG weather generator algorithm (WGA). RheaG was conceived for the generation of robust daily meteorological time series, whether in static or transient ...

Abstract: Root-zone soil moisture constitutes an important variable for hydrological and weather forecast models. Microwave radiometers like the L-band instrument on board the European Space Agency?s (ESA) future Soil Moisture and ...

Abstract: AbstractLand surface models (LSMs) have traditionally been designed to focus on providing lower-boundary conditions to the atmosphere with less focus on hydrological processes. State-of-the-art application of LSMs includes ...

Abstract: n situ soil moisture from 117 stations across the world and under different biome and climate conditions are used to evaluate two soil moisture products from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)?namely, ...

Abstract: n situ soil moisture measurements from 2007 to 2010 for 196 stations from five networks across the world (United States, France, Spain, China, and Australia) are used to determine the reliability of three soil moisture ...
