Accurate prediction of flood extents in river catchments happen to be a challenging issue. Paper exposes numerical simulation techniques of flooding circumstances, induced by flash floods, dams/ dykes breaking. The results reveal that the Computational Fluid Dynamics approach for floods modeling is skillful to adequately replicate the foremost aspects of the floods routing. Supplying warnings with...
Present paper presents an approach related to the question of structuring a federation of SCADA systems, associated with the integrated water resource exploitation, from a certain catchment area. Utilized instruments for federation development there are: (i) DESCRIPTOR component, achieving topology description — resources (roots) associated with protocols, functionality and governance rules, combined...
SCADA systems are broadly employed in supervising and controlling industrial areas comprising manufacturing industries, traffic control, power plants, integrated water management systems (distribution, treatment and sewage). The security of SCADA systems represents a significant subject on account of the critical function that these systems perform in offering vital utility services. In nowadays industrial...
In the field of water management it operate with hydrologic, hydraulic models, and the river basin GIS component, that take into account the real-time measured parameters, and climate prognosis. The SCADA system associated to a river basin, by acquired historical data, constitutes the support for models calibration and validation, by their training on representative data sets, with the purpose of...
Reliability and availability requirements for large scale distributed systems implemented in electric power units represent an important factor with impact in energy efficiency. The real time data information and online diagnostic capabilities and ability to set alarms provided by SCADA systems, ensure advanced notification of impending failure. The processing of their database and the decision support...
Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCD) registries are essential in order to improve the quality of care and survival for patients. Reliable population based information on NCD incidence, prevalence and survival rates are needed and NCD registries are the only available source. The aim of our research is to develop a multiagent system with the goal of automating the process of registration. The development...
This paper intend to introduce a new concept of federative SCADA systems based on cooperative systems, which assure not only the functionally augmentation of individual system by integration, but ensure the global tasks of the federation as required by the envelope model. It presents the concept, the structure of the federation, the services offered and their analysis. The federation addresses different...
The microlaser consists of a tapered-fiber-coupled fused-silica microsphere, with HgTe nanocrystals deposited on one tapered fiber. Compared to a microlaser having a coated microsphere, the lasing signal is cleaner and the cavity Q remains high.
Spatially localized enhanced evanescent coupling between a tapered optical fiber and a high-Q dielectric microresonator results from the resonant excitation of surface plasmons of Au nanowire fragments deposited non-uniformly on the surface of the microresonator.
Present energy problems involve issues of technology selection, placement, variation of energy services demand by location and time-of-use and new sourcing options especially renewable energy. Beside these issues, there are also, major challenges for current energy production where the cost and environmental impacts are some of the important aspects which determine the producers to consider alternative...
The changes registered worldwide with respect to the ambient quality determined people to consider, a primal objective, the protection and improvement of environmental conditions. The 2002/49/EC Directive, adopted by the European Parliament and European Union Council on 29 June 2002, settles the defining objectives of environment protection against phonic pollution. One of directivepsilas objectives...
