Value Added 3d Modeling – Lower Crow Dam Spillway Modification And Rehabilitation Project, Justin Bartels

4th International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) have been operating Lower Crow Dam under restricted reservoir levels since 2008 due to significant structural and spillway capacity deficiencies that have increased risk to dam safety. Stantec was contracted by the CSKT to evaluate rehabilitation options and provide final design for the new spillway. The focus of this paper is to describe the design methodology and spillway selection process with an emphasis on the hydraulic modeling completed to support the final spillway arrangement. The design approach included the evaluation of various spillway types including gated, Obermeyer, fuse gate, ogee, labyrinth, and piano …

Design Approach For Labyrinth Weir: Case Study Of La Laye Dam, M. Roy, S. Derrien, J. Schaguene, G. Dautois

4th International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs

This paper presents ARTELIA’s gradual approach for the design and construction of labyrinth weirs, from the preliminary concept design to the commissioning. It is illustrated with the case of La Laye dam, where an additional lateral spillway with labyrinth weir has been developed to increase the existing discharge capacity. The design process involved preliminary hydraulic calculations, 3D numerical modeling and a physical scale model. The paper elaborates on the technical solutions and optimizations which were considered to provide the Client with the most hydro-economical solution.

The Challenge Of Achieving Attributability In Multilingual Table-To-Text Generation With Question-Answer Blueprints, Aden Haussmann

International Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities

Generating faithful text descriptions from data tables is a significant challenge in Natural Language Processing (NLP), especially for the world’s many low-resource languages. This paper investigates whether Question-Answer (QA) blueprints—an intermediate planning step where a model first asks and answers questions about the data—can improve the factual accuracy of multilingual table-to-text generation. This novel approach is tested on the TaTA dataset, which includes several African languages, by finetuning models with and without these blueprints.

The results show a key distinction: while the QA blueprint method improves performance for English-only models, these gains disappear in the multilingual setting. This paper’s analysis …
