Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...

Some Composite ExponentialPareto Models for Actuarial Prediction [PDF]
Prediction is a very important and not so easy task for an actuary. An insurance company needs predictions of the future claims in order to evaluate premiums, to assess its financial situation, probabilities of ruin, etc.

Zipf's Law for Cities and the Double-Pareto-Lognormal Distribution [PDF]
, 2012 This dissertation concentrates on the size distribution of cities. From an empirical perspective, it is shown that Zipf's law for cities holds for the upper tail of the distribution and that the overall distribution is the Double-Pareto-Lognormal ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Simplified closed‐form equations are commonly used in structural design to prevent punching shear failures of concrete flat slabs supported on columns in permanent and transient situations, whereas more advanced methods are generally used in verifications at accidental design situations due to the lack of suitable equivalent approaches ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and environmental mercury (Hg) exposure. Colombia has a well‐documented history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining, where Hg exposure affects miners and nearby riverside and urban populations. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in

A normal relationship ? Poverty, growth, and inequality [PDF]
Using a large cross-country income distribution dataset spanning close to 800 country-year observations from industrial and developing countries, the authors show that the size distribution of per capita income is well approximated empirically by a ...

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.A statistical framework combining angular X‐ray cross‐correlation analysis, principal component analysis and photon‐counting simulations is presented for evaluating the detectability of orientational fluctuations in time‐resolved coherent X‐ray scattering experiments.Understanding the dynamic fluctuations of anisotropic particles is essential for ...

More adequate probability distributions to represent the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity
Scientia Agricola, 2002 The saturated soil hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is one of the most relevant variables in studies of water and solute movement in the soil. Its determination in the laboratory and in the field yields high dispersion results, which could be an indication ...

Modelling NO2 emissions at Eskom’s Lethabo coal fired power station
Discover EnvironmentThis study uses three relatively heavy tailed statistical distributions commonly applied in air pollution, namely, the Weibull, Lognormal and Pareto distributions, to characterise the NO2 emissions data (tons) from Lethabo coal fired power station, owned
