optimizing first-order rate coefficients for soil nitrate transformation processes applying an inverse method
نویسندگان
چکیده
it is extremely challenging to measure first-order rate coefficients for soil nitrate transformation processes directly, either in the laboratory or in the field. in this study, an improved inverse method was proposed to optimize the first-order rate coefficients by considering the intermediate changing processes of the integrated functions. a numerical experiment was designed to test the accuracy of the method in optimizing the coefficients. comparisons between the optimized and theoretical results indicated that all the relative errors were within 10%. data collected from a field experiment were used to validate the optimization procedure and to demonstrate its applications in practice. using the established model and the estimated values by the inverse method, the simulated source-sink term (sst) distributions of september 2-12, 2007, were in good agreement, with the root mean squared error (rmse) between them being as low as 0.00021 mg cm-3 d-1. based on the established nitrate transformation model, the distributions of soil water content and nitrate concentration during september 2-12, 2007, were simulated, and compared well with the measured profiles, with the rmse of 0.023 cm3 cm-3 and 0.017 mg cm-3, respectively. the improved inverse method should be useful for optimizing the first-order rate coefficients for nitrate transformation, establishing the nitrate transformation model, and simulating the nitrate transport in the soil-plant system.

Rapid abiotic transformation of nitrate in an acid forest soil
Nitrate immobilization into organic matter is thought to require catalysis by the enzymes of soil microorganisms. However, recent studies suggest that nitrate added to soil is immobilized rapidly and this process may include abiotic pathways. We amended living and sterilized soil with 15N-labeled nitrate and nitrite to investigate biotic and abiotic immobilization. We report rapid transformatio...
متن کاملAN ADAPTIVE IMPORTANCE SAMPLING-BASED ALGORITHM USING THE FIRST-ORDER METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a useful tool for computation of probability of failure in reliability analysis. However, the large number of samples, often required for acceptable accuracy, makes it time-consuming. Importance sampling is a method on the basis of MCS which has been proposed to reduce the computational time of MCS. In this paper, a new adaptive importance sampling-based algorith...

متن کاملInverse scattering problems for first - order systems
In this thesis, the Zakharov-Shabat scattering problem and several types of Landau-Lifschitz scattering problems are considered. The inverse scattering problem is that of seeking one or more coefficients in a system of differential equation from the scattering data which, generally, consists of a reflection coefficient and bound state data. We assume mainly that the coefficients to be determine...
