An adaptive model switching and discretization algorithm for gas flow on networks
Abstract We are interested in the simulation and optimization of gas transport in networks. Those networks consist of pipes and various other components like compressor stations and valves. The gas flow through the pipes can be modelled by different ...

Effects of human-induced alteration of groundwater flow on concentrations of naturally-occurring trace elements at water-supply wells
Abstract The effects of human-induced alteration of groundwater flow patterns on concentrations of naturally-occurring trace elements were examined in five hydrologically distinct aquifer systems in the USA. Although naturally occurring, these trace ...

In-Situ Measurement of Mercury Transport in the Sea Water of Minamata Bay
Abstract Two kinds of in-site measurement of mercury transport and transformation were attempted in Minamata Bay. First, we conducted highly-frequent (weekly) water sampling for mercury speciation in sea water with continuous current measurement at...

Relamination of mafic subducting crust throughout Earth's history
Abstract Earth has likely cooled by several hundred degrees over its history, which has probably affected subduction dynamics and associated magmatism. Today, the process of compositional buoyancy driven upwelling, and subsequent underplating, of...

Data Store Models are Different Than Data Interchange Models
Abstract The model of a data store is much different than the model of a data interchange. The model of a data store is driven by the needs of building an application. In contrast, the model of a data interchange is driven by the needs of conveying...
