In offshore engineering design, nonlinear wave models are often used to propagate stochastic waves from an input boundary the location of structure. Each realization is typically characterized by a high-dimensional time-series, and reliable determination extreme events associated with substantial computational effort. As sea depth decreases, become more difficult evaluate. We here construct low...

A low-input cropping system has been developed at Yurimiaguas, Peru, to serve as a transition technology between shifting and continuous cultivation for acid soiln of the humid tropics. Principal features are slash-andburn clearing, rotation of acid-tolerant upland rice and cowpea cultivars, maximum residue return, no tillage, and no lime or fertilizer apoiications. When yields decline as a res...

The task of inferring score level musical information from low-level musical data can be accomplished by human listeners – depending on their training – almost intuitively, but an algorithmic model for computer aided transcription is very hard to achieve. In between there exist a large number of approaches addressing different issues related to the process of musical transcription. Especially f...
