We review work Ribbon on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics.The review covers theoretical aspects of time series analysis and of extreme value theory, as well as of the deterministic modeling of extreme events, via continuous and discrete dy
This article proposes an effectual process for soil classification.The input data of the proposed procedure is the Harmonized World Soil Database.Preprocessing aids to generate enhanced representation and will use minimum time.Then, the MapReduce framework divides the input dataset into a complimentary portion that is held by the map task.In the ma
Ever more powerful and densely packed chips for applications like copyright mining and artificial intelligence generate such enormous heat fluxes that designers are pivoting from gas to liquid cooling to forestall damage from thermal runaway.Even with optimal flow patterns, however, the intrinsic thermal boundary resistance at the liquid/solid (L/S
