Model coupling friction and adhesion for steel-concrete interfaces

open access: yes, 2009
The interface behaviour between steel and concrete, during pull-out tests, is numerically investigated using an interface model coupling adhesion and Coulomb friction. This model, first developed by Raous, Cang\'emi, Cocou and Monerie (RCCM), is based on

Engineering hierarchical complex systems: an agent-based approach. The case of flexible manufacturing systems

open access: yes, 2012
This article introduces a formal model to specify, model and validate hierarchical complex systems described at different levels of analysis. It relies on concepts that have been developed in the multi-agent-based simulation (MABS) literature: level ...

Meshless modelling of dynamic behaviour of glasses under intense shock loadings: application to matter ejection during high velocity impacts on thin brittle targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The purpose of this study is to present a new material model adapted to SPH modelling of dynamic behaviour of glasses under shock loadings. This model has the ability to reproduce fragmentation and densification of glasses under compression as well as ...

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.

Rank‐based estimation of propensity score weights via subclassification

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propensity score (PS) weighting estimators are widely used for causal effect estimation and enjoy desirable theoretical properties, such as consistency and potential efficiency under correct model specification. However, their performance can degrade in practice due to sensitivity to PS model misspecification.

Assessment of field rolling resistance of manual wheelchairs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This article proposes a simple and convenient method for assessing the subject-specific rolling resistance acting on a manual wheelchair, which could be used during the provision of clinical service.

Predicting cervical cancer DNA methylation from genetic data using multivariate CMMP

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Epigenetic modifications link the environment to gene expression and play a crucial role in tumour development. DNA methylation, in particular, is gaining attention in cancer research, including cervical cancer, the focus of this study.

On subset least squares estimation and prediction in vector autoregressive models with exogenous variables

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We establish the consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the least squares estimators of the coefficients of a subset vector autoregressive process with exogenous variables (VARX). Using a martingale central limit theorem, we derive the asymptotic normal distribution of the estimators. Diagnostic checking is discussed using kernel‐based

Projections comparées de la répartition et de la croissance du chêne pubescent face au changement climatique : apports et limites de la modélisation

open access: yesRevue Forestière Française
Le potentiel de production du Chêne pubescent en France à l’horizon 2100 est évalué à travers deux modèles mécanistes (CASTANEA et ForCEEPS). Les projections s’accordent sur sa régression dans la marge chaude de son aire de répartition ainsi que sur un ...
