Rapid population growth and increasing water demand places a serious strain on both quantity and quality of available local water resources. Climate change puts additional pressure by altering the water balance, affecting recharge conditions, and contributing to pollution and water degradation. Addressing these issues requires water management strategies that enhance …
The rapid evolution of sensor technologies, particularly within the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, has led to an era dominated by massive real-time data flows. This transition resulted in the need for novel data processing methodologies that facilitate the shift from traditional offline batch analytics to agile real-time predictions and …
In this thesis, we introduce novel methods for equation discovery (ED), based on the use of probabilistic grammars. ED and symbolic regression address the task of finding a symbolic mathematical model that best describes observed data. Models can be as simple as an algebraic equation or as complex as a …
Atmospheric mercury (Hg) plays an important role in the biogeochemical Hg cycle. Hg species in the atmosphere are present in very low concentrations. While gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) is relatively inert, gaseous oxidized (GOM) and particulate-bound (PBM) mercury are highly reactive. These characteristics of atmospheric Hg species make the speciation …
