How to identify a representative subset of hydro-climatic simulations for impact modelling studies?
(Corresponding) PECHLIVANIDIS I., Gupta H., Bosshard T.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Uncertainties in hydro-climatic projections are (in part) related to different components of the modeling chain. Although a combination of numerous projections (ensemble) would be needed to characterize the overall uncertainty, in practice a small set of scenario combinations are constructed to...Read more

The thermodynamic model of improved desalination using hydrophobic polyelectrolyte gels
(Corresponding) Rud O., Prokacheva V., Uhlik F.
Topic:
Desalination
We study a weak polyelectrolyte hydrogel and its application as a desalination agent. We model the desalination process as a four-step reversible thermodynamic cycle transferring ions from a low salinity solution to a high salinity one. As a driving force for ions movement, we use the fact that...Read more

Analysis of the Sars-COVID 19 trend: from time series to visibility graphs
(Corresponding) Simone A., Cesaro A., Esposito G.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Sars COVID-19 epidemic continues to represent a relevant and current topic, which is of concern mainly with respect to possible variants. Predictive monitoring can address the need to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, but it needs to rely on non-invasive, as well as effective and inexpensive...Read more
