Requests for Groundwater Investigations

A flow cell simulating a subsurface rock fracture for investigations of groundwater-derived biofilms.

Laboratory scale continuous-flow-through chambers (flow cells) facilitate the observation of microbes in a controlled, fully hydrated environment, although these systems often do not simulate the environmental conditions under which microorganisms are found. We developed a flow cell that mimics a subsurface groundwater-saturated rock fracture and is amenable to confocal laser scanning microscop...

Multicast Scheduling for List Requests

Advances in wireless and optical communication, as well as in Internet multicast protocols, make broadcast and multicast methods an effective solution to disseminate data. In particular, repetitive server-initiated broadcast is an effective technique in wireless systems and is a scalable solution to relieve Internet hot spots. A critical issue for the performance of multicast data dissemination...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

Investigations into Pb isotope signatures in groundwater and sediments in a uranium‐mineralized area

Manuscript ID: 20160100. Received in: 08/16/2016. Approved in: 01/31/2017. ABSTRACT: This work presents the investigation in an environment that contains uranium deposits by using Pb isotope signatures. The study area, southeast of Brazil, is characterized by the lack of surface water and, as a consequence, the groundwater plays an important role in the econo‐ my of the region, such as the supp...

Planning for Requests against Web Services

One of the most serious challenges that web service enabled e-marketplaces face is the lack of formal support for expressing service requests against UDDI-resident web services in order to solve a complex business problem. We present a framework in which such a formalization is possible by integrating AI planning and constraint satisfaction techniques with web service technology. This framework...
