One of the important issues in the analysis of soils is to evaluate their features. In estimation of the hardly available properties, it seems the using of Data mining is appropriate. Therefore, the modelling of some soil quality indicators, using some of the early features of soil which have been proved by some researchers, have been considered. For this purpose, 140 disturbed and 140 undistur...

Addressing environmental management problems at catchment scales requires an integrated modelling approach, in which key bio-physical and socio-economic drivers, processes and impacts are all considered. Development of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) for environmental management is rapidly progressing. This paper describes the integration of physical, ecological, and socio-economic components i...

The long-term goals of this research are: (i) to identify all relevant physical processes that participate in and contribute significantly to sediment transport in nearshore coastal waters; (ii) to investigate each of the identified processes in order to understand the underlying physics in a quantitative manner; (iii) to develop simple predictive models for each process; and (iv) to incorporat...

Integrated assessments that aim to support sustainable natural resources management require analysing how biophysical systems are impacted by human actions. These analyses are often performed by modelling the physical system, while human actions are prescribed as scenarios and introduced into the physical models by varying the model input. To achieve a more thorough analysis of the human system...

Aneural-learning fuzzy technique is proposed for T–S fuzzy-model identification ofmodel-free physical systems. Further, an algorithm with a defined modelling index is proposed to integrate and to guarantee that the proposed neural-based optimal fuzzy controller can stabilize physical systems; the modelling index is defined to denote the modelling-error evolution, and to ensure that the training...

This paper discusses how haptic devices and physical modelling can be employed to design and simulate multisensory virtual musical instruments, providing the musician with joint audio, visual and haptic feedback. After briefly reviewing some of the main use-cases of haptics in Computer Music, we present GENESIS-RT, a software and hardware platform dedicated to the design and real-time haptic pl...
