Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Quantification in Water Resources Modeling
Numerical models of flow and transport processes are heavily employed in the fields of surface, soil, and groundwater hydrology. They are used to interpret field observations, analyze complex and coupled processes, or to support decision making related to large societal issues such as the water-energy nexus or sustainable water management and food production. Parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification are two key features of modern science-based predictions. When applied to water resources, these tasks must cope with many degrees of freedom and large datasets. Both are challenging and require novel theoretical and computational approaches to handle complex models with large number of unknown parameters.
Best Practices in Physics-based Fault Rupture Models for Seismic Hazard Assessment of Nuclear Installations
This volume collects several extended articles from the first workshop on Best Practices in Physics-based Fault Rupture Models for Seismic Hazard Assessment of Nuclear Installations (BestPSHANI). Held in 2015, the workshop was organized by the IAEA to disseminate the use of physics-based fault-rupture models for ground motion prediction in seismic hazard assessments (SHA). The book also presents a number of new contributions on topics ranging from the seismological aspects of earthquake cycle simulations for source scaling evaluation, seismic source characterization, source inversion and physics-based ground motion modeling to engineering applications of simulated ground motion for the analy...
The Lighthouse and the Observatory
This history of astronomy in Egypt reveals how modern science came to play an authoritative role in Islamic religious practice.
Analyse multi-échelles des déformations gravitaires du Massif de l'Argentera Mercantour
Slope movements are one of the principal factors for mountains belts erosion and represent also a decisive issue for country planning. Gravitational phenomena are expressed under various forms seldom recognized and seldom analyzed in their globality in the same massif. Thus, the geometrical and dynamic bonds characterizing them are never approached. They could however represent a substantial contribution in the comprehension of destabilization processes, recognition and definition of risks. We first mapped gravitational rock slope movements in the occidental part of the Argentera-Mercantour massif and then studied their relation and their distribution according to the regional geological and...
From the Napoleonic Empire to the Age of Empire
This book explores imperial entanglements to reassess the Napoleonic Empire as a missing link—or at least an important chain—in the global and longue durée history of Empires. In recent years Napoleonic studies have, belatedly but resolutely, embraced the transnational historiographical turn, vastly expanding the field’s geographical scope. Its canonical chronological boundaries, on the other hand, appear increasingly narrow against this wider backdrop, giving the impression of a parenthetical, almost anachronistic aside from 1799 to 1815. What connects, and what doesn’t connect, the Napoleonic Empire to the Age of Empire, remains by and large an open question. Put another way, this book attempts to locate the Napoleonic empire in World History.
