Abstract: Traditionally, the uncertainty qualification is utilized with the known probability distribution function (PDF). However, in some scenarios, the PDFs of some uncertain variables are modeled ...

A new soil-moisture retrieval strategy has improved the accuracy of satellite-based moisture mapping by combining microwave reflection signals with vegetation-structure information that conventional ...

This paper was prepared with the partial support of the U. S. Army Research Office (Durham), grant DA-ARO (D)-31-124-G83. Note: The article usage is presented with a three- to four-day delay and will ...

Centrality measures allow to identify important nodes in networked systems. An open question in network theory is the empirical observation that a node’s centrality—whose computation requires ...

The Random123 library is a collection of counter-based random number generators ( "CBRNGs") for CPUs (C and C++) and GPUs (CUDA and OpenCL), as described in Parallel Random Numbers: As Easy as 1, 2, 3 ...

The analysis of covariance (Ancova) is a widely used statistical technique for the comparison of groups with respect to a quantitative dependent variable in such a way that the comparison takes into ...

I would like to show variables explicitly using "render_model" that are functions of other variables. I tried using "deterministic" or "Delta distribution" for this purpose, but this seems to not ...

After the bridge is completed, the structural materials will be gradually eroded or aged under the influence of climate, temperature, and building environment. Under long-term static and dynamic loads ...
