Iterative Reconstruction from Few-view Projections
Abstract In the medical imaging field, iterative methods have become a hot topic of research due to their capacity to resolve the reconstruction problem from a limited number of projections. This gives a good possibility to reduce radiation exposure ...

Tooth wear, Neanderthal facial morphology and the anterior dental loading hypothesis
Abstract The Anterior Dental Loading Hypothesis states that the unique Neanderthal facial and dental anatomy was an adaptive response to the regular application of heavy forces resulting from both the masticatory and cultural use of the anterior...

Hydrodynamic Transformations of the Natural Hydrogeological System of the Ob-Tom’ Watershed
Abstract The natural hydrogeological conditions of an aquifer system, prior to the beginning of groundwater extraction by the Tomsk and Seversk water operation, have been studied. Special attention is given to changes in groundwater recharge and...

Cellular Automata based Modeling for the Assessment of Ecohydrological Dynamics at the Hillslope Scale: Preliminary Results
Abstract An improved version of a Cellular Automata (CA)-based ecohydrological model developed using a Macroscopic CA approach was applied in a numerical experiment over a large hillslope. The original model was made up of a Vegetation Dynamic Model ...

Direct radiative forcing and climate effects of anthropogenic aerosols with different mixing states over China
Abstract An online coupled regional climate and chemistry model was used to investigate the direct effects of anthropogenic aerosols (sulfate, nitrate, black carbon BC and organic carbon OC) with different mixing states over China. Three mixing...

Anti-optimisation for modelling the vibration of locally nonlinear structures: An exploratory study
Abstract Modelling the vibration of complex structures with uncertain nonlinearities is a significant challenge. However, nonlinearities are often spatially localised: this enables efficient linear methods to describe the behaviour of the majority...

Modification of Urban Temperature in Hot-Humid Climate Through Landscape Design Approach: A Review
Abstract This paper discusses a conceptual review of local and micro scale approaches that incorporate the principles of sustainable landscape design as mitigating strategies to improve urban thermal comfort in a warm and humid climate. The...

Origin of Cl− and High δ37Cl Values in Radiocarbon Dated-Fracture Groundwaters at the Tournemire URL (France)
Abstract Fracture groundwaters collected from the indurated Toarcian/Domerian clayrock in the IRSN Underground Research Laboratory (URL) at Tournemire (south of France) are rare and limited in volume. The present study aims at resolving an apparent...

A robust estimator for the intensity of the Poisson point process of extreme weather events
Abstract The article examines extreme temperature events defined as the exceedances of several high quantiles of temperature anomalies in regional climate model data over Germany as an example for the analysis of meteorological extremes using a two...

Carbon dioxide storage leads of the eastern Gippsland Basin, Australia—Terminology, seal and structure considerations in trap integrity assessments
Abstract Geotechnical assessments of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites in the Gippsland Basin have mainly focussed on interpreting stratigraphy, reservoir/seal characteristics, and populating geo-models using one dimensional (1D) well data. Less...

Modelling the fate of carbon dioxide in the near-surface environment at the Latera natural analogue site
Abstract Latera is a volcanic area north of Rome where deep, naturally-produced carbon dioxide migrates to the surface and is released to the atmosphere. The region provides an environment in which many processes relevant to the geological storage...

Delineation of Magnesium-rich Ultramafic Rocks Available for Mineral Carbon Sequestration in the United States
Abstract The 2005 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage suggested that a major gap in mineral carbon sequestration is locating the magnesium-silicate bedrock available to sequester CO2. It is...
