The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a widely used hydrological model that produces several useful outputs (e.g. evapotranspiration, soil moisture, aquifer recharge, river discharge) as text files. Currently, visualizing and publishing SWAT outputs as geospatial data requires a lot of time and repetitive processing steps. Moreover, data used and produced are often not interoperable and ...

The use of tunable lasers (TL) in dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) networks for optical switching, routing and networking has gained a lot of interest in recent years. Employment of such TLs as tunable transmitters in wavelength packet switched (WPS) networks is one of the possible applications of these devices. In such systems, the information to be transmitted could be encoded ont...

By using the formal analogy between the evolution of the state vector in quantum mechanics and the Jones vector in polarization optics, we construct and demonstrate experimentally efficient broadband half-wave polarization retarders and tunable narrowband polarization filters. Both the broadband retarders and the filters are constructed by the same set of stacked standard multiorder optical wav...

Recent distributed computing trends advocate the use of Representational State Transfer (REST) to alleviate the inherent complexity of the Web services standards in building service-oriented web applications. In this paper we focus on the particular case of geospatial services interfaced by the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) specification in order to assess whether WPS-based geospatial servic...

A Web process (WP) is a process that coordinates a set of Web services, as a cohesive unit of work in order to achieve common goals. In spite of the growing interest to Web services, current technologies are found lacking efficient transactional support for such applications. In this paper, we propose a transactional framework that enhances service description for a better characterization, a m...

The realization of Weyl systems with the minimum nonzero number points (WPs) and full spin polarization remains challenging in topology physics spintronic. In this paper, we used first-principles calculations symmetry analysis to demonstrate that ${\mathrm{BaNiIO}}_{6}$, a dynamically thermodynamically stable half-metallic material, hosts fully spin-polarized single-pair (SP) WPs charge ($\math...

Query reformulation is one of the tasks in Information Retrieval (IR), which automatically creates new queries based on previous queries. The main challenge query to create a whose meaning or context similar old query. can improve search for relevant documents Open-domain Question Answering (OpenQA). more are given system, and will be generated. We propose Word Predicted Substituted (WPS) metho...

Aim of this paper is to describe functioning of subjects with "severe disability" collected with a protocol based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. It included sections on body functions and structures (BF and BS), activities and participation (A&P), and environmental factors (EF). In A&P, performance without personal support (WPS) was added to standard...

Environmental modeling often requires the use of multiple data sources, models, and analysis routines coupled into a workflow to answer a research question. Coupling these computational resources can be accomplished using various tools, each requiring the developer to follow a specific protocol to ensure that components are linkable. Despite these coupling tools, it is not always straight forwa...

Mapping data using geostatistics can be a time-consuming process because of the many parameters to define. automap, a geostatistical package written in R, was developed to define automatically a spatial correlation model, a step that is considered to be the biggest obstacle for automating the spatial interpolation process with geostatistical algorithms. The implementation of automap into a Serv...
