Many industrial applications, e.g. in power systems, need to use uncertain information (e.g. coming from sensors). The influence of uncertain measurements on the behavior of the system must be assessed, for safety reasons for instance. Also, by combining information given by physical models and sensor measurements, the accuracy of the knowledge of the state of the system can be improved, leadin...

As a levee failure and the consequent flooding cause significant financial losses sometimes human casualties, they have led to considerable concern among city officials. Therefore, researchers devoted effort investigating hydraulic characteristics of sudden transient flow in form propagated waves inundation areas during and/or dam failure. A large number studies, however, mostly focused on simp...

Background Lipases are enzymes belonging to the class of hydrolases, acting in the aqueous-organic interface demonstrating considerable levels of activity and stability in aqueous environments and non-aqueous [1]. Its biological function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of long chain triglycerides to form fatty acids and glycerol, in addition to performing esterification [2]. They have wide indust...

Energy and industrial networks such as pipeline-based carbon capture and storage infrastructures and (bio)gas infrastructures are designed and developed in the presence of major uncertainties. Conventional design methods are based on deterministic forecasts of most likely scenarios and produce networks that are optimal under those scenarios. However, future design requirements and operational e...

This paper reviews shearography and its applications for testing of composite structures. Shearography is a laser-based technique for fullfield measurement of surface deformation. Unlike holography, it does not require special vibration isolation; hence it can be employed in field/factory environments. The technique has already received considerable industrial acceptance for nondestructive test...

Abstract. Physically based snow models provide valuable information on cover evolution and are therefore key to water availability projections. Yet, uncertainties related modelling remain large as a result of differences in the representation physics meteorological forcing. While many studies focus evaluating these uncertainties, no model comparison has been done environments where sublimation ...
