A regression‐based waveform interpretation model for accurate soil moisture estimation under incomplete time domain reflectometry probe insertions

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is widely used and provides accurate estimates of soil moisture when sensor rods are fully inserted into the soil. However, automation of sensor insertions, especially in field conditions, is hindered by inaccuracies caused by possible incomplete sensor rod insertion, which distorts waveforms and leads to ...

Coupling Different Road Traffic Noise Models with a Multilinear Regressive Model: A Measurements-Independent Technique for Urban Road Traffic Noise Prediction

Sensors
Road traffic noise is a severe environmental hazard, to which a growing number of dwellers are exposed in urban areas. The possibility to accurately assess traffic noise levels in a given area is thus, nowadays, quite important and, on many occasions, compelled by law.

Multilinear regression model for predicting the ultimate load of slender circular CFDST columns subjected to concentric and eccentric loading

Structural Concrete
AbstractThis paper presents a novel approach to predict the ultimate load of slender circular concrete‐filled double skin tubular (CFDST) columns subjected to concentric and eccentric loading. The proposed approach was developed using a multilinear regression model through analyzing a database containing 165 CFDST column configurations.
