Characterization of Model Uncertainty for the Vertical Pullout Capacity of Helical Anchors in Cohesive Soils

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
This paper conducts coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) analysis to characterize the model uncertainty of using the cylindrical shear method (CSM) to predict the pullout capacity of helical anchors in cohesive soils.

Model Uncertainty and Selection of Risk Models for Left-Truncated and Right-Censored Loss Data

open access: yesRisks, 2023
Insurance loss data are usually in the form of left-truncation and right-censoring due to deductibles and policy limits, respectively. This paper investigates the model uncertainty and selection procedure when various parametric models are constructed to

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Measuring the Uncertainty of Predictions in Deep Neural Networks with Variational Inference

open access: yesSensors, 2020
We present a novel approach for training deep neural networks in a Bayesian way. Compared to other Bayesian deep learning formulations, our approach allows for quantifying the uncertainty in model parameters while only adding very few additional ...

The Impact of a Regional Nuclear Conflict between India and Pakistan: Two Views

open access: yesJournal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, 2021
The severity of climatic effects of a regional nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan, involving the use of a hundred Hiroshima-scale nuclear weapons, is contested between two groups; Mills et al.

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Great uncertainties in modeling grazing impact on carbon sequestration: a multi-model inter-comparison in temperate Eurasian Steppe

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
The impact of grazing activity on terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration has been noticed and studied worldwide. Recent efforts have been made to incorporate the disturbance into process-based land models. However, the performance of grazing models has not

Bayesian Model Averaging and Prior Sensitivity in Stochastic Frontier Analysis

open access: yesEconometrics, 2020
This paper discusses Bayesian model averaging (BMA) in Stochastic Frontier Analysis and investigates inference sensitivity to prior assumptions made about the scale parameter of (in)efficiency. We turn our attention to the “standard” prior specifications

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Hands-on MPC Tuning for Industrial Applications [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences, 2019
This paper proposes a practical tuning of closed loops with model based predictive control. The data assumed to be known from the process is the result of the bump test commonly applied in industry and known in engineering as step response data.
