We introduce a novel framework of reservoir computing. Cellular automaton is used as the reservoir of dynamical systems. Input is randomly projected onto the initial conditions of automaton cells and nonlinear computation is performed on the input via application of a rule in the automaton for a period of time. The evolution of the automaton creates a space-time volume of the automaton state sp...

The CE-QUAL-W2 model has been selected as a tool for use in water quality management studies of the Occoquan Reservoir. In order for the model to achieve its best possible predictive capability, additional quantitative information on denitrification rates in the reservoir was required. A microcosm operating protocol was developed to obtain such information and also to enhance the understanding ...

dam reservoirs supply potable, agricultural, and industrial water in most cities of iran. due to lack of proper operational rules or unbalanced demand versus water resources volume, (along operating time) correction in operational rules is required to fulfill current situations. hence the goal of this study is to optimize the qeshlaq dam reservoir operation rules to maximize the water release f...

Three different uses of a recurrent neural network (RNN) as a reservoir that is not trained but instead read out by a simple external classification layer have been described in the literature: Liquid State Machines (LSMs), Echo State Networks (ESNs) and the Backpropagation Decorrelation (BPDC) learning rule. Individual descriptions of these techniques exist, but a overview is still lacking. He...

This paper presents a fuzzy stochastic dynamic programming (FSDP) approach to derive steady-state multipurpose reservoir operating policies. The vagueness associated with some operating objectives as well as with the decision-making process is apprehended through fuzzy set theory. Operating objectives are considered as fuzzy sets and their membership functions represent decision maker’s prefere...

To avoid the generation of air-entraining vortices at a projected outlet structure in an existing reservoir of a pumped-storage plant, large-scale model tests were conducted. The model, with a scale of 1:18, had the considerable dimensions of 30 m in length and 16 m in width. Due to the complex shape of the reservoir, the many inlets and outlets, and numerous operating conditions, very complex ...

To the editor, most anesthesiologists estimate blood loss by rough visual assessment, by noting its effects on cardiovascular parameters, by weighing of swabs, by substraction of fluids used in surgical irrigation from blood in suction reservoir, either by laboratory estimation or by trusting their experiences and instinct. I describe here a simple and practical method of estimating operative b...

Multiple reservoir operation is of paramount importance due to tradeoffs in water supply and their cost functions. Understanding this complexity important for optimizing increasing synergies gained from the joint operation. Therefore, study aimed develop a conceptual framework addressing effects climate change on security under operating rules multiple system northern France. A dynamic programm...

aim and background:   long exposure to inhalant anesthetic gases especially halothane, among the known hepatotoxic agents, is a serious health risk for the staff of operating room. current study was performed to compare the level of hepatic enzymes between operating&aposs; room staff and other therapeutic wards’ personnel out of the operating room. methods and materials:   a total of 100 person...

A jet-type magnetically driven fluid micropump to drive conductive fluids has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The pump actuation is based on a rotary magnetic micromotor with fully integrated stator and coils operating with the rotor immersed in the fluid to be pumped, thereby driving the fluid from a inlet flow reservoir through integrated flow channels to an outlet flow reservoir. The ...
