    Notes: : Computer programs that model the fate and transport of organic contaminants through porous media typically use Fick's first law to calculate vapor phase diffusion. Fick's first law, however, is limited to the case of a single, dilute species diffusing into a stagnant, high concentration, bulk vapor phase. When dealing with more than one diffusing species and at higher concentrations, the multicomponent coupling effects on vapor phase diffusion and advection of the various constituents become significant. VLEACH, a one-dimensional finite difference model developed for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is typical of the models using Fick's first law to model vapor-phase diffusion. The VLEACH model was modified to accommodate up to 10 components and to calculate the binary diffusion coefficients for each of the components based on molecular weight, molecular volume, temperature and pressure, and to address the coupling effects on multiple component vapor phase diffusion and its impact on ground water. The resulting model was renamed MC-CHEMSOIL. At low vapor phase concentrations, MC-CHEMSOIL predicts identical ground water impacts (dissolved phase loading) to those from VLEACH 2.2a. At higher vapor phase concentrations, however, the relative difference between the models exceeded 20 percent.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das klassische Verfahren für die adaptive Steuerung von Markovschen Entscheidungsprozessen mit einem unbekannten Parameter und Durchschnittsgewinn-Kriterium wählt auf jeder Stufe eine Entscheidung, die durchschnittsoptimal ist für das Problem mit dem gerade geschätzten Parameter. Aber in vielen Fällen ist es nicht effektiv oder unmöglich, jeweils die optimale Politik für unendlichen Planungshorizont zu berechnen. Deshalb wurden Verfahren der sukzessiven Approximation vorgeschlagen und untersucht. Hier wird nun ein allgemeiner Ansatz vorgestellt, der die beiden genannten Methoden enthält und darüber hinaus den Rahmen für eine Reihe weiterer Verfahren bietet.
    Notes: Summary The classical procedure for the adaptive control of average reward Markov decision processes with an unknown parameter chooses at each stage a decision which is optimal for the average reward problem with the presently estimated parameter. But in many cases it is inefficient or impossible to compute each time the long run optimal policy. So successive approximation methods were proposed and investigated. We present a unifying and generalizing approach including both types of methods mentioned above and generating a lot of new procedures, too.

    Notes: Abstract Consider a parabolic stochastic partial differential equation perturbed by small noise observed on a time interval [0,T]. We construct the maximum likelihood estimators of the coefficients of the operators involved in these equations based on partial observations in the form of diffusion processes and show the asymptotic efficiency for loss functions with polynomial majorant as the variance goes to zero.

    Notes: Summary Discretization of the Theodorsen integral equation (T) yields the discrete Theodorsen-equation (T d ), a system of 2N nonlinear equations. A so-called ε-condition may be fulfilled. It is known that (T) has exactly one continuous solution. This solution gives the boundary correspondence of the normalized conformal map of the unit disc onto a given domainG. It is also known that (T d ) has one and only one solution if ε〈1 and at least one solution if ε≧1. We show here that for every ε≧1 and N∈ℕ\ {1} there is a domainG satisfying an ε-condition such that (T d ) has an infinite number of solutions. Moreover, givenK〉0 and any domainG that fulfills an ε-condition, we will construct a domainG 1 in the neighbourhood ofG that fulfills a max (1, ε+K)-condition such that (T d ) forG 1 has an infinite number of solutions. The underlying idea of the construction of those domains allows also to give important new facts about iterative methods for the solution of (T d ), even in the case ε〈1.

    Notes: Summary A generalization of the method of successive overrelaxation (SOR-method) toward the solution ofx=A x+b (the matrixA being of a special form) is treated. The method depends on two parameters instead of one but needs no more computational efforts. For matricesA with real and pure imaginary eigenvalues, those parameters are determined for which the method converges and those which give “fastest” convergence. The class of matricesA yielding convergence is enlarged in comparison to the SOR-method. The convergence is speeded up except in some cases. Three numerical examples are presented.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The methods are described and results presented of computing the two-dimensional stress field in a particular section of International Geotraverse I. The present effects of loads, caused by terrain topography and density inhomogeneities in the Earth's crust, were considered to be the sources of the stress. The corresponding values of the deviatoric stresses in the area considered are of the order of 5 MPa.

    Notes: Abstract An attempt is started to define the terms of aquametry and its adjective subsurface. Subsurface Sensing represents a field of scientific research and development character, which is much wider than that of the classical non-destructive material testing in industrial production. It covers the 2 or 3D mapping of distributed parameters, broad application fields, the interactions of waves and beams with matter, signal propagation in media, almost all sensing techniques like radar, optical, acoustic and nuclear sensors as well as the measurements of material properties. Dielectric sensing dominates in the water content determination, i.e. in aquametry. The problems of aquametry are critically commented: Proposals of free and bound water definitions are made. The volume-related water content determination is preferred. The reference method, i.e. oven drying, impedes the development. The calibration or relation to the water content in indirect measurements is discussed. Optimum measuring frequency is treatedas well. Subsurface Aquametry is introduced as a development of Microwave Aquametry and Dielectric Aquametry. Also, dielectric water research is involved. By providing included and excluded examples and accepting the basic features of common Aquametry, the subject is defined with a call for contributions.
