Conditional simulation of surface rainfall fields using modified phase annealing

Phase-Destabilization Mechanism of Polymer-Modified Bitumens in Quiescent Annealing

Bitumen as a binder in coating and insulating materials is modified with polymers to improve its performance in service conditions. Almost all polymers are incompatible with bitumen, and at high temperatures due to relatively very low viscosity of the bitumen phase, are separated from it. These lead to a considerable limitation in the use and handling of polymer-modified bitumens. An understand...

Simulation of Rainfall - Runoff Events by Applying Phase Differences Diagrams and Correcting Effective Rainfall Components

   The conversion of rainfall to runoff in basins includes nonlinear relations between the complex interactions of various hydrological processes. In this study, without considering of predetermined structure, relationship between input and output system was derived individually from the nature of the data recorded. Also, the phase difference occurred between rainfall and runoff signals using c...

Conditional Simulation of Truncated Random Fields Using Gradient Methods

The problem of estimating the location of facies boundaries is difficult in history matching, partly because of the geological complexity. The truncated plurigaussian method for modeling geologic facies is useful in this aspect not only for the wide variety of textures and shapes that can be generated, but also because of the internal consistency of the stochastic model. This method has not bee...

Estimating Rainfall with Neural Networks and Conditional Random Fields

v To all those who have pushed me, pulled me, taught me, and challenged me. vi " Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. " − Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:25 (New Living Translation) vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to note that I worked with Dr. Michael Marder and Dr. Pradeep Raviku-mar at U...
