Knowledge of both state (e.g., soil moisture) and flux (e.g., actual evapotranspiration (ETa) and groundwater recharge (GR)) hydrological variables across vadose zones is critical for understanding ecohydrological and land-surface processes. In this stud...

Clustering algorithms are usually iterative procedures. In particular, when the clustering algorithm aims to optimise an objective function like in k-means clustering or Gaussian mixture models, iterative heuristics are required due to the high non-linea...

Random vibration analysis is a mathematical tool that offers great advantages in predicting the mechanical response of structural systems subjected to external dynamic loads whose nature is intrinsically stochastic, as in cases of sea waves, wind pressur...

Karst water resources represent a primary source of freshwater supply, accounting for nearly 25% of the global population water needs. Karst aquifers have complex recharge characteristics, storage patterns, and flow dynamics. They also face a looming str...

The justification for making a measurement can be sought in asking what decisions are based on measurement, such as in assessing the compliance of a quality characteristic of an entity in relation to a specification limit, SL. The relative performance of...
