Embedded systems such as mobile phones, handheld computer systems, robots etc., are becoming increasingly more important in our daily lives. There are countless examples of embedded systems on which it is feasible to have a robust face detector. For example to increase the interaction between a human and a robot, a first step for the robot could be to detect the face of the human it interacts w...

The INCA (Integrated Nitrogen CAtchment) model is a semi-distributed, dynamic nitrogen model which simulates nitrogen fluxes in catchments. Sources of nitrogen can be atmospheric deposition, the terrestrial environment or direct discharges. The model can simulate nitrogen processes in six land use classes. There are three components included; the hydrological model, the catchment nitrogen proce...

With widespread, long-term historical use of plastics and the presence microplastics in a range new existing products, there is rising concern about their potential impacts on freshwater ecosystems. Understanding how are transported distributed along river systems key to assessing impacts. Modelling main flow dynamics, mixing, sedimentation resuspension processes essential for an understanding ...

Climate is a fundamental and independent variable for human existence, as well as a factor in shaping the physical landscape within which human societies dwell. The record of human activities in South America before the arrival of the Spanish in 1532 is rich in archaeological remains but the process of reconstructing it is hampered by the lack of deciphered written languages. Through excavation...
