Snow is a highly dynamic porous material mainly made from ice. As the snow structure evolves via so-called snow metamorphism, so evolve macroscopic properties as e.g., radiative properties relevant for surface energy balances and remote sensing. However, the increased understanding of snow processes has not yet found its way into adequate… ...

Radioactive waste is produced in all phases of the nuclear fuel cycle and from the use of radioactive materials in industrial, medical, defense and research applications. Disposal in engineered facilities or repositories, located in suitable geological formations, is being developed worldwide as the reference solution for the long-term management… ...

Im Gegensatz zur state-of-the-art Temperierung von Druckgussformen mit Hilfe der Rücklauftemperatur des Kühlmediums soll ein intelligentes System die Temperatur auf Basis der Werkzeugoberfläche regeln. Die Modellbildung und Temperierung wird mit künstlicher Intelligenz optimiert.

Uncertainty is not ignorance: it is incomplete knowledge that means it is not possible to describe exactly an existing state or future outcome. Provided the uncertainties are represented, managed and communicated appropriately, decisions can be made with confidence, even in the face of substantial uncertainty.
There are a lot of decisions that… ...
