A probabilistic approach to Zhang's sandpile model [PDF]

, 2007
The current literature on sandpile models mainly deals with the abelian sandpile model (ASM) and its variants. We treat a less known - but equally interesting - model, namely Zhang's sandpile. This model differs in two aspects from the ASM.

Long-term desalinated water demand and investment requirements: a case study of Riyadh

Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination, 2018
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is situated in an arid region and faces a chronic challenge to meet its increasing water demand. Riyadh is the capital of KSA and home to about six million people. The water demand is mostly met by groundwater resources (

Believing Probabilistic Contents: On the Expressive Power and Coherence of Sets of Sets of Probabilities [PDF]

, 2019
Moss (2018) argues that rational agents are best thought of not as having degrees of belief in various propositions but as having beliefs in probabilistic contents, or probabilistic beliefs.

Natural Gradient Boosting for Probabilistic Prediction of Soaked CBR Values Using an Explainable Artificial Intelligence Approach

Buildings
The California bearing ratio (CBR) value of subgrade is the most used parameter for dimensioning flexible and rigid pavements. The test for determining the CBR value is typically conducted under soaked conditions and is costly, labour-intensive, and time-

A Note for Probabilistic Model of Polymer Crystallization in Temperature Gradients

Crystals, 2019
A polymer crystallization kinetics model is the most important way to characterize the crystallization rate of polymers. Because polymers are poor heat conductors, the cooling of thick-walled shapes results in temperature gradients.

Dissipation and Residue of Metalaxyl-M and Azoxystrobin in Scallions and Cumulative Risk Assessment of Dietary Exposure to Hepatotoxicity

Molecules, 2022
Metalaxyl-M and azoxystrobin have been used to control various fungal diseases on scallion and other crops. In view of the adverse toxic effects of both on the mammalian liver, it is necessary to conduct a cumulative risk assessment of their dietary ...

Learning Markov Decision Processes for Model Checking

, 2012
Constructing an accurate system model for formal model verification can be both resource demanding and time-consuming. To alleviate this shortcoming, algorithms have been proposed for automatically learning system models based on observed system ...

THE INFLUENCE OF ADVERTISING ON THE DEMAND FORECASTING [PDF]

, 2012
This paper deals with the notion of approximate probabilistic bisimulation (APB) relation for discrete-time labeled Markov Chains (LMC). In order to provide a quantified upper bound on a metric over probabilistic realizations for LMC, we exploit the ...
