Challenges for mountain hydrology in the third millennium
Mountain hydrology, in particular in the European Alps, has undergone significant changes within the last decades due to climate and land use change as well as altered water consumption patterns. Climate change influences both the characteristics of droughts and floods as well as evapotranspiration, sublimation, snow-rainfall ratios, snow seasonality, and water reserves locked in glaciers. Land...
متن کاملModelling Complexity for Policy: Opportunities and Challenges
This chapter reviews the purpose and use of models from the field of complex systems and, in particular, the implications of trying to use models to understand or make decisions within complex situations, such as policy makers usually face. A discussion of the different dimensions one can formalise situations, the different purposes for models and the different kinds of relationship they can ha...
متن کاملExtreme mountain bike challenges may induce sub-clinical myocardial damage.
AIM The relationship between extreme exercise and coronary artery disease is not well understood, and the information available is contradictory. The aim of the present study was to determine whether strenuous endurance exercise, performed under conditions in which the partial pressure of environmental oxygen varies constantly, can induce myocardial cell injury. METHODS Plasma urea, creatinin...
متن کاملComplexity of botulinum neurotoxins: challenges for detection technology.
The detection of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) is extremely challenging due to their high toxicity and the multiple BoNT variants. To date, seven serotypes with more than 30 subtypes have been described, and even more subtypes are expected to be discovered. The fact that the BoNT molecules are released as large complexes of different size and composition adds further complexity to the issue. Cur...
متن کاملBig Data Integration : Complexity and Numerosity Challenges
A compiler translates a program written in a high-level programming language into machine code. In addition to performing the translation, the compiler applies many optimizations to the generated code to improve its performance. Since nearly all contemporary programs (both applications and systems) are written in high-level languages, the compiler plays an important role in determining performa...
