Improvement of surface water quality variables modelling that incorporates a hydro-meteorological factor: a state-space approach
In this work it is constructed a hydro-meteorological factor to improve the adjustment of statistical time series models, such as state space models, of water quality variables by observing hydrological series (recorded in time and space) in a River basin. The hydro-meteorological factor is incorporated as a covariate in multivariate state space models fitted to homogeneous groups of monitoring sites. Additionally, in the modelling process it is considered a latent variable that allows incorporating a structural component, such as seasonality, in a dynamic way
Application of Change-Point Detection to a Structural Component of Water Quality Variables
In this study, methodologies were developed in statistical time series models, such as multivariate state-space models, to be applied to water quality variables in a river basin. In the modelling process it is considered a latent variable that allows incorporating a structural component, such as seasonality, in a dynamic way and a change-point detection method is applied to the structural component in order to identify possible changes in the water quality variables in consideration
Using udometric network data to estimate an environmental covariate
Manyhydrologicalandecologicalstudiesrecognizetheimportanceofcharacterizingthetemporalandspatialvari- ability of precipitation. In this study, geostatistical methodologies were developed in order to estimate a hydro-meteorological factor by (re)building the space-time distribution of the precipitation associated to monthly averages in a certain hydrological river basin that will be used in the modelling of surface water quality. A hydro-meteorological factor is constructed for each water quality monitoring site (WQMS), based on the analysis of the space-time behaviour of the precipitation observed in an udometric network located in a Portuguese river basin
Longitudinal profiles of Extensive Air Showers with inclusion of charm and bottom particles
Charm and bottom particles are rare in Extensive Air Showers but the effect
of its presence can be radical in the development of the Extensive Air Showers
(EAS). If such particles arise with a large fraction of the primary energy,
they can reach large atmospheric depths, depositing its energy in deeper layers
of the atmosphere. As a consequence, the EAS observables (, and
) will be modified, as well as the shape of the longitudinal profile
of the energy deposited in the atmosphere. In this paper, we will modify the
CORSIKA Monte Carlo by the inclusion of charm and bottom production in the
first interaction of the primary cosmic ray. Results for different selections
of the typical values of the heavy particles and distinct production
models will be presented.Comment: Replacement of tex file by the correct versio
Pseudoclassical model for Weyl particle in 10 dimensions
A pseudoclassical model to describe Weyl particle in 10 dimensions is
proposed. In course of quantization both the massless Dirac equation and the
Weyl condition are reproduced automatically. The construction can be relevant
to Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz strings where the Weyl reduction in the Ramond sector
has to be made by hand.Comment: 5 page
Analytic Torsion on Hyperbolic Manifolds and the Semiclassical Approximation for Chern-Simons Theory
The invariant integration method for Chern-Simons theory for gauge group
SU(2) and manifold \Gamma\H^3 is verified in the semiclassical approximation.
The semiclassical limit for the partition function associated with a connected
sum of hyperbolic 3-manifolds is presented. We discuss briefly L^2 - analytical
and topological torsions of a manifold with boundary.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX fil
The Conformal Anomaly in General Rank 1 Symmetric Spaces and Associated Operator Product
We compute the one-loop effective action and the conformal anomaly associated
with the product of the Laplace type operators , acting in irreducible rank 1 symmetric spaces of non-compact
type. The explicit form of the zeta functions and the conformal anomaly of the
stress-energy momentum tensor is derived.Comment: 10 pages, LaTe
Forms on Vector Bundles Over Compact Real Hyperbolic Manifolds
We study gauge theories based on abelian forms on real compact
hyperbolic manifolds. The tensor kernel trace formula and the spectral
functions associated with free generalized gauge fields are analyzed.Comment: Int. Journ. Modern Physics A, vol. 18 (2003), 2041-205
