The gathering and storage of data indexed in space and time are experiencing unprecedented growth, demanding for advanced and adapted tools to analyse them. This thesis deals with the exploration and modelling of complex high-frequency and non-stationary spatio-temporal data. It proposes an efficient framework in modelling with machine learning algorithms spatio-temporal fields measured on irregular monitoring networks, accounting for high dimensional input space and large data sets. The uncertainty quantification is enabled by specifying this framework with the extreme learning machine, a particular type of artificial neural network for which analytical results, variance estimation and confidence intervals are developed. Particular attention is also paid to a highly versatile exploratory data analysis tool based on information theory, the Fisher-Shannon analysis, which can be used to assess the complexity of distributional properties of temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal data sets. Examples of the proposed methodologies are concentrated on data from environmental sciences, with an emphasis on wind speed modelling in complex mountainous terrain and the resulting renewable energy assessment. The contributions of this thesis can find a large number of applications in several research domains where exploration, understanding, clustering, interpolation and forecasting of complex phenomena are of utmost importance.

English | April 9, 2019 | ISBN: 1785004832 | 176 pages | MOBI | 25 Mb
The step-by-step building and painting guides in this book illustrate figures in scales from 1/150 to 1/32, which equates to wargame figures sizes from 10mm to 54mm. There are painting recipes featured for twenty-five uniforms covering the main branches of the Wehrmacht. These are Afrika Korps; Fallschirmjager (parachutists); Feldgendarmerie (military police); Gebirgsjager (mountain troops); Heer (army); Panzer (tank crews); Waffen SS, and U-boat crew. Modelling and Painting World War II German Military Figures covers preparation and assembly of white metal and plastic figures in detail, and tutorials include techniques for building a wargames army quickly.

English | August 1, 2023 | ISBN: 0719840929 | 192 pages | MOBI | 23 Mb
This practical guide will enable you to create your own realistic small-scale models from the period of The Great War, specifically those involving the forces, aviation and armoured cars of Great Britain, the Commonwealth, France and Belgium. It also touches on other Allied Nations, Russia and Italy. With over 325 high quality photographs, this book covers what soldiers looked like in WW1, with actual clothing and equipment examples for use as reference. There are ‘step by step’ projects of figures and busts from concept to completion using a wide range of scales, mediums and materials. Each project is explained with an ‘Important Steps’ and ‘Key Points’ guide, plus painting palette recommendation. ‘How to’ illustrations demonstrating techniques and highlighting details are included as well as ‘How to’ explanations of painting techniques to create realistic-looking skin, clothing and equipment textures like serge battledress and canvas webbing. Many tips are given on how to set up your projects to ensure you are ready to begin experimenting with your own approach. Use these tips to help grow your confidence in sculpting, converting and painting your WW1 projects.
