A Probabilistic Model of the Unidirectional Tensile Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers for Structural Design

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
In this paper, a statistical analysis of the tensile strength of FRP composites is conducted. A relatively large experimental database including 58 datasets is first constructed, and the Normal, Lognormal, and Weibull distributions are fitted to the data

Reconsidering the significance of genomic word frequency

, 2006
We propose that the distribution of DNA words in genomic sequences can be primarily characterized by a double Pareto-lognormal distribution, which explains lognormal and power-law features found across all known genomes.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Predictive value of seizure onset for gross motor dysfunction in individuals with pathogenic GABRB2 and GABRB3 variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes have been associated with a wide spectrum of neurological disorders. We aimed to delineate the clinical trajectories associated with gain‐of‐function (GoF) and loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in GABRB2 and GABRB3, and to develop a risk‐prediction model for gross

Analysis of a stochastic model for bacterial growth and the lognormality of the cell-size distribution

, 2016
This paper theoretically analyzes a phenomenological stochastic model for bacterial growth. This model comprises cell division and the linear growth of cells, where growth rates and cell cycles are drawn from lognormal distributions.

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in dirty quantum dots with single channel leads

, 1996
We consider a distribution of conductance fluctuations in quantum dots with single channel leads and continuous level spectra and we demonstrate that it has a distinctly non-Gaussian shape and strong dependence on time-reversal symmetry, in contrast to ...

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Extracting Galaxy Cluster Gas Inhomogeneity from X-ray Surface Brightness: A Statistical Approach and Application to Abell 3667

, 2008
Our previous analysis indicates that small-scale fluctuations in the intracluster medium (ICM) from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations follow the lognormal distribution.

Quantifying Parametric Influence on Cuttings Transport in Deviated Deep Wells Using Global Sensitivity Analysis Methods

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Cuttings transport simulation workflow. ABSTRACT Efficient cuttings transport is essential for wellbore stability and minimizing non‐productive time in deviated and horizontal wells. This study applies global sensitivity analysis (GSA) to evaluate the influence of 14 drilling parameters on cuttings transport using WellPlanTM hydraulic simulations ...
