Random model trees: an effective and scalable regression method [PDF]
We present and investigate ensembles of randomized model trees as a novel regression method. Such ensembles combine the scalability of tree-based methods with predictive performance rivaling the state of the art in numeric prediction.

Dynamic Calibration of DEM Simulations Using Rotating Drum Experiments Using the Mean Absolute Error
Calibrating DEM simulations is challenging due to unknown microscopic parameters. Rotating drum experiments are combined with image‐based analysis and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). An area‐based Mean Absolute Error (MAE) enables reliable identification of optimal parameter sets.

This study investigates ground subsidence during tunnel excavation in karst areas, highlighting the combined effects of karst cave proximity, cave size, and soil spatial variability. Findings suggest that shorter cave distances and larger cave sizes increase subsidence variability, and a modified Peck formula is proposed for more accurate subsidence ...

Entanglement and quantum combinatorial designs
We introduce several classes of quantum combinatorial designs, namely quantum Latin squares, cubes, hypercubes and a notion of orthogonality between them. A further introduced notion, quantum orthogonal arrays, generalizes all previous classes of designs.

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application
ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Balanced Decomposition of Hypercube
A balanced vertex coloring of G is a pair R, B of subsets R , B VGsuch that RB and R B . A subset U of V G is called a balanced set if U induces a connected subgraph with U R U B . A balanced decomposition of a balanced coloring R, B of G is a partition of vertices r V G V1 V2 V such that all parts V s i , are balanced sets.

Low‐Carbon Optimal Scheduling of Multiple Virtual Power Plants Based on Asymmetric Nash Bargaining
ABSTRACT To effectively investigate the structural discrepancies and complementary energy characteristics among multiple virtual power plants (VPPs), and to improve the economic efficiency, low‐carbon performance, and operational reliability of the multi‐agent system, this paper proposes a low‐carbon collaborative optimal operation strategy for ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Signed Projective Cubes, a Homomorphism Point of View
ABSTRACT The (signed) projective cubes, as a special class of graphs closely related to the hypercubes, are on the crossroad of geometry, algebra, discrete mathematics and linear algebra. Defined as Cayley graphs on binary groups, they represent basic linear dependencies.

Fractional List Packing for Layered Graphs
ABSTRACT The fractional list packing number χ ℓ • ( G ) ${\chi }_{\ell }^{\bullet }(G)$ of a graph G $G$ is a graph invariant that has recently arisen from the study of disjoint list‐colourings. It measures how large the lists of a list‐assignment L : V ( G ) → 2 N $L:V(G)\to {2}^{{\mathbb{N}}}$ need to be to ensure the existence of a “perfectly ...
