In this paper a formerly proposed continuous digit recognition system based on Reservoir Computing (RC) is improved in two respects: (1) the single reservoir is substituted by a stack of reservoirs, and (2) the straightforward mapping of reservoir outputs to state likelihoods is replaced by a trained non-parametric mapping. Furthermore, it is shown that a reservoir-based method can improve a mo...

A reservoir is an integral component of a water resources system. Periodic evaluation of the sediment deposition pattern and assessment of available storage capacity of reservoirs is an important aspect of water resources management. The conventional techniques of quantification of sediment deposition in a reservoir, such as hydrographie surveys and the inflow-outflow methods, are cumbersome, c...

a fully fuzzy linear programming (fflp) formulation for the reservoir operation of amultipurpose reservoir in presented in the ongoing paper. in the real world, water resourcessystems usually have complexities among social, economic, natural resources andenvironmental aspects, which lead to multi-objective problems of significant uncertainties insystem parameters, objectives and in their intera...

The dynamics of a three-level atom in a cascade ~or ladder! configuration with both transitions coupled to a single structured reservoir of quantized electromagnetic field modes is treated using Laplace transform methods applied to the coupled amplitude equations. In this system two-photon excitation of the reservoir occurs, and both sequences for emitting the two photons are allowed and includ...

The Oligo-miocene Asmari formation is one of the most important hydrocarbon reservoirs in the southwest of Iran. In order to evaluate reservoir quality and the factors controlling reservoir properties, detailed geological and petrophysical studies were carried out on 242 m of core samples from Asmari reservoir. This study is a part of a larger project that examines depositional history and rese...

We extend the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation to open quantum systems which exhibit multi-channel coupling to a harmonic oscillator reservoir. Open quantum systems which have multi-channel reservoir coupling are those in which canonical transformation of reservoir modes cannot reduce the number of reservoir operators appearing in the interaction Hamiltonian to one. We show ...

The mixed linear programming model is commonly recognized to be an effective means for searching optimal reservoir operation policy in water resources system. In this paper a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming model is set up to obtain the optimal operation policy of multi-reservoir water supply system during drought, which is able to consider the operation rule of reservoir-group...

In order to verify the cascade-system effect in benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and the implications for policy making and proposals for conservation and sustainable use of the lower portion of São Francisco river basin (Bahia State, Brazil), a three-reservoir cascade system including two stretches downstream were studied during dry (June, 1997) and rainy (March, 1998) periods. The domin...
