Biophysical crop simulation models are normally forced with precipitation data recorded with either gauges or ground-based radar. However, ground-based recording networks are not available at spatial… (More)
Vertical soil moisture profiles based on the principle of maximum entropy (POME) were validated using field and model data and applied to guide an irrigation cycle over a maize field in north central… (More)
The two main objectives of virtual assembly are: (1) to train assembly-operators through virtual assembly models, and (2) to simultaneously evaluate products for ease-of-assembly. The focus of this… (More)
For very large systems of equations arising from 3D finite element formulation, pre-conditioned iterative solvers are preferred over direct solvers due to their reduced memory requirements. However,… (More)
