Discrete forms of 3-D gravity and magnetic forward modeling operators... 

Assume that we use small rectangular cells Dk- We denote the coordinates of the cell center as Tk= xk, yk,Zk), k = 1,. ..Nm, and the cell sides as dx, dy, dz. Also, we have a discrete number of observation points = (x ,y, 0), n = 1,. ..Nd. Using discrete model parameters and discrete data, wc can present the forward modeling operator for the gravity field, (7.68), as... 

Using discrete model parameters, introduced above, and discrete magnetic data, F(r(j), we can represent the forward modeling operator for the total field, (7.76), as... 

Thus, the discrete forward modeling operators for gravity and/or magnetic anomalies can be expressed in general matrix notations as... 

Let us consider the derivation of the Frechet derivative matrix of the discrete forward operator (10.103). Noting that the model parameters are the anomalous conductivity values in the cells of the anomalous body, that matrix A is independent of the model parameters, and that B is a diagonal matrix, one can express the perturbation of the forward operator (10.103) with respect to the model parameters in the form...

Crew Station/equipment characteristics The crew station design module and library is a critical component in the MIDAS operation. Descriptions of discrete and continuous control operation of the equipment simulations are provided at several levels of functiontil deteiil. The system can provide discrete equipment operation in a stimulus-response (blackbox) format, a time-scripted/ event driven format, or a full discrete-space model of the transition among equipment states. Similarly, the simulated operator s knowledge of the system can be at the same varied levels of representation or can be systematically modified to simulate various states of misunderstanding the equipment function. 

This calculation is approximate because it refers to continuous operation assessed from time averages and does not consider existence of stratification and the consequences of heat loss. A more exact calculation can be made from the discretized model of the storage tank with due regard to heat loss [56,106,107]. 

Despite being quite different from one another, the QM/discrete models are ah. characterized by maintaining the information on the atomic structure of the environment. The most popular formulation of these models is to use the MM force fields to describe the interaction within the ENV part of the system as weU as the nonelectrostatic interactions between the QM subsystem and the ENV. The electrostatic interactions between the two parts are instead kept in the effective QM Hamiltonian as an additional operator which contributes to determine the MS wavefrmction. Such an operator is generahy written in terms of a set of fixed multipoles usuaUy placed on the atoms of the environment molecules. In most cases just the partial charges are considered, but there are instances where multipoles up to the quadrupoles are included. The resulting MS/ENV interaction term thus becomes ... 

Mesoscale models provide valuable insight into the operation of SOFCs and how the micrometer-scale phenomena translate into the macroscale behavior of the SOFC. By discretely modeling the gas phase and solid phase of the SOFC electrodes, they can investigate the surface reactions and transport in SOFCs, which could lead to advances in the design of the electrodes to improve the electrochemical performance of the SOFC. They are also able to provide macroscale models with effective properties for the transport and reaction parameters based on the local microstracture and physics of the SOFC. 

The diffusion tensor D(j that is proportional to q(6) vanishes in the points where 0 P, R,t) = 1 and 6 /3 - 1, JJ, t) = 0 (/ > 3). In these points V oo, thus occupied cells and cells lying over unoccupied ones (y0 > 3) are automaticeJly excluded from diffusion field that matches the basic postulates of the model. Operator M (0) vanishes when 9 = Or similetr to its discrete aneJogue. 

However, a better model, which does not require a discrete model of time, and which allows different "atomic" (i.e. non-interruptable) operations to take different amounts of time, is the following ... 

With the proper choice of the operator F in (3), motional constraints in the form of an ordering potential can also he introduced into these discrete models. In a different model of a single particle undergoing rotational diffusion in the mean field of an ordering potential, the BD trajectories are obtained hy direct numerical solution of the Langevin equation ...
