In constraint-based scheduling, storage systems are modelled by a class of resource called reservoir. Activities can either produce or consume a capacity in a reservoir. Most of the models presented in the literature assume that the production and the consumption is instantaneous but they are not good for some class of problems. This paper introduces the continuous reservoir model in which the ...

The purpose of this paper is to report the first preliminary study of the recently introduced Combinatorial Multilevel (CML) method for solver preconditioning in large-scale reservoir simulation with coupled geomechanics. The CML method is a variant of the popular Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) method yet with essential differences. The basic idea of this new approach is to construct a hierarchy of ...

An important mechanism for postoperative cognitive impairment after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is microemboli. One component of the CPB circuit-the cardiotomy-is a major source of gaseous microemboli because it aspirates significant volumes of air with blood from the operative field and intracardiac chambers. Cardiotomies are either integrated within an open hardshell ve...

We propose an effective Hamiltonian approach to investigate decoherence of a quantum system in a non-Markovian reservoir, naturally imposing the complete positivity on the reduced dynamics of the system. The formalism is based on the notion of an effective reservoir, i.e., certain collective degrees of freedom in the reservoir that are responsible for the decoherence. As examples for completely...

An important property of Reservoir Computing, and signal processing techniques in general, is generalization and noise robustness. In trajectory generation tasks, we don’t want that a small deviation leads to an instability. For forecasting and system identification we want to avoid over-fitting. In prior work on Reservoir Computing, the addition of noise to the dynamic reservoir trajectory is ...

We compare the evolution of entanglement for a system of two two-level atoms interacting with (i) a common reservoir being in the vacuum state and (ii) a common thermal reservoir at non-zero temperature. The Markovian master equation is used to describe the evolution of entanglement which is quantified by concurrence. Phenomena of sudden death, revival, and sudden birth of entanglement are disc...

conclusions the results indicated that the model, compared with other models, was user-friendly and the desired results were obtained by a minimal data. materials and methods the current paper developed a process model. first, a sketch of nitrate and ammonia storage, their specifications and parameters were set out and created on a page, and then, mathematical relations of each process were set...

Reservoir Computing is a novel computing paradigm that uses a nonlinear recurrent dynamical system to carry out information processing. Recent electronic and optoelectronic Reservoir Computers based on an architecture with a single nonlinear node and a delay loop have shown performance on standardized tasks comparable to state-of-the-art digital implementations. Here we report an all-optical im...

Blocking the natural bi-directional flow in an estuarine system using an artificial dyke has commonly caused serious water quality problems. In the southwestern part of South Korea, a parallel triple-reservoir system was constructed by blocking the mouth of three different rivers (Yeongsan, Okcheon, and Kumja), which were then interconnected using two open channels. This system has experienced ...
