Model Predictive Control of a Large-scale River Network
Abstract This study investigates the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for regulation of river flows. During the past decade, MPC has emerged for controlling open water systems, such as irrigation and drainage channels. Compared to a full river...

Key Findings from the Artist Project on Aerosol Retention in a Dry Steam Generator
Abstract A steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) event with a stuck-open safety relief valve constitutes one of the most serious accident sequences in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) because it may create an open path for radioactive aerosol release ...

Smart Green Open Space Outlook: Pattern Identification (Case Study: Yogyakarta City and Batu City)
Abstract Green open space is always a discourse in urbanization context. Research and policy sometimes couldn’t match each other because research typically has been done more advance and faster than policy implementation. On that condition, smart...

Dissipation measurements using temperature microstructure from an underwater glider
Abstract Microstructure measurements of temperature and current shear are made using an autonomous underwater glider. The glider is equipped with fast-response thermistors and airfoil shear probes, providing measurements of dissipation rate of...

All-optical automatic pollen identification: Towards an operational system
Abstract We present results from the development and validation campaign of an optical pollen monitoring method based on time-resolved scattering and fluorescence. Focus is first set on supervised learning algorithms for pollen-taxa identification...

Effects of future sea-level rise on tidal processes on the Patagonian Shelf
Abstract The response of tidally driven processes on the Patagonian Shelf to sea-level rise (SLR) is revisited using large but realistic levels of change in a numerical tidal model. The results relate to previous studies through significant...

Magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE-Au sulfide mineralisation in alkaline igneous systems: An example from the Sron Garbh intrusion, Tyndrum, Scotland
Abstract Magmatic sulfide deposits typically occur in ultramafic-mafic systems, however, mineralisation can occur in more intermediate and alkaline magmas. Sron Garbh is an appinite-diorite intrusion emplaced into Dalradian metasediments in the...

Waste Management in Germany – Development to a Sustainable Circular Economy?
Abstract The new German Closed Cycle Management Act is aimed to turn the waste management into a resource management. The realisation that waste can be a useful source of raw materials and energy is not new; metals, glass, and textiles have been...

A weighted cellular automata 2D inundation model for rapid flood analysis
Abstract To achieve fast flood modelling for large-scale problems, a two-dimensional cellular automata based model was developed. This model employs simple transition rules and a weight-based system rather than complex Shallow Water Equations. The...

The Effect of Urbanization on Road Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions in Emerging Megacity of Jakarta, Indonesia
Abstract Few studies have been made to explore quantitatively and systematically the impact of urbanization on transport energy use for cities in emerging countries. This paper tries to examine the relationship between urbanization and transport...

An efficient exponential time integration method for the numerical solution of the shallow water equations on the sphere
Abstract The exponential propagation methods were applied in the past for accurate integration of the shallow water equations on the sphere. Despite obvious advantages related to the exact solution of the linear part of the system, their use for the ...
