Mean field conditions for coalescing random walks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The main results in this paper are about the full coalescence time $\mathsf{C}$ of a system of coalescing random walks over a finite graph $G$. Letting $\mathsf{m}(G)$ denote the mean meeting time of two such walkers, we give sufficient conditions under ...

Nonlinear Step-Stress Accelerated Degradation Modeling and Remaining Useful Life Estimation Considering Multiple Sources of Variability

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In the absence of sufficient degradation data of long-lifetime and highly reliable products, a step-stress accelerated degradation model based on nonlinear diffusion process is proposed to estimate the remaining useful life (RUL), with the advantage of ...

The combined effect of Covid-19 and neighbourhood deprivation on two dimensions of subjective well-being: Empirical evidence from England.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
ObjectivesThe Covid-19 pandemic is hitting societies hard, and people living in disadvantaged circumstances are among the most affected. We investigate the combined effects of the Covid-19 crisis and living in a deprived neighbourhood on two dimensions ...

Hitting Time Asymptotics for Hard-Core Interactions on Grids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the hard-core model with Metropolis transition probabilities on finite grid graphs and investigate the asymptotic behavior of the first hitting time between its two maximum-occupancy configurations in the low-temperature regime. In particular,

Tunneling behavior of Ising and Potts models in the low-temperature regime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We consider the ferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model with zero external field in a finite volume and assume that the stochastic evolution of this system is described by a Glauber-type dynamics parametrized by the inverse temperature $\beta$.

Automatic identification of optimal marker genes for phenotypic and taxonomic groups of microorganisms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Finding optimal markers for microorganisms important in the medical, agricultural, environmental or ecological fields is of great importance. Thousands of complete microbial genomes now available allow us, for the first time, to exhaustively identify ...

The Mastcam‐Z Radiometric Calibration Targets on NASA's Perseverance Rover: Derived Irradiance Time‐Series, Dust Deposition, and Performance Over the First 350 Sols on Mars

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2022
The Mastcam‐Z radiometric calibration targets mounted on the NASA's Perseverance rover proved to be effective in the calibration of Mastcam‐Z images to reflectance (I/F) over the first 350 sols on Mars.

An Adaptive Prognostic Approach for Newly Developed System With Three-Source Variability

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Remaining useful life (RUL) estimation is the key of prognostics and health management (PHM) technology and is an effective way to ensure the safe and reliable operation of equipment.

A martingale analysis of first passage times of time-dependent Wiener diffusion models

open access: yes, 2016
Research in psychology and neuroscience has successfully modeled decision making as a process of noisy evidence accumulation to a decision bound. While there are several variants and implementations of this idea, the majority of these models make use of ...
