Based on previous research on super-resolution and colour correction by example, the present project employs such techniques towards a high-quality reclamation of lost art. The aim is to produce high-quality images of nowadays destroyed or missing paintings using the correspondence between similar artworks available in both low and high quality images. Several approaches for both super-resoluti...

The effluent from TMWRF is discharged into the Truckee River which flows to Pyramid Lake—a very sensitive ecosystem and habitat for endangered species. Reverse osmosis RO and nanofiltration NF , in conjunction with ultrafiltration UF ...

A reference counting garbage collector cannot reclaim unreachable cyclic structures of objects. Therefore, reference counting collectors either use a backup tracing collector seldom, or employ a cycle collector to reclaim cyclic structures. Recently, the first on-the-fly cycle collector, that may run concurrently with program threads, was presented by Bacon and Rajan [3]. This demonstrated the ...

Water scarcity is one of the main concerns of several countries around the world. In this context, several approaches have been proposed for resource conservation and available water augmentation through specific actions such as process intensification and the use, reclamation, reuse, and recycle of alternative water sources. Nonetheless, there are no reported methodologies optimizing the multi...

As in many fen land regions in East Germany, long-standing intensive arable farming--enabled by reclamation--has caused soil deterioration and high water runoff in the Schraden region. The more than ten years of economic and political transformation that followed the breakdown of the socialist regime has worsened the situation and even added new problems.
