Central and South-East Europe is one of the most complex regions in Europe. This complexity promotes innovative thinking and scientists from the Region have contributed significantly to the progress of human knowledge in the past. At present a lack of funding and modernised structures often...

A stochastic optimization framework for water management in cooling-constrained power plants is proposed. The approach determines optimal set-points to maximize power output in the presence of uncertain weather conditions and water intake constraints. Weather uncertainty is quantified in the...

Data assimilation is the process of integrating observational data and model predictions to obtain an optimal representation of the state of the atmosphere. As more chemical observations in the troposphere are becoming available, chemical data assimilation is expected to play an essential role...
