Probabilistic Identification of Parameters in Dynamic Fracture Propagation
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a novel multiphase approach for identifying input parameters in dynamic fracture propagation. Often, such parameters are partially known and uncertain with incomplete input data, resulting in challenges in predicting a reliable dynamic failure response.

Kriging Methodology and Its Development in Forecasting Econometric Time Series [PDF]
One of the approaches for forecasting future values of a time series or unknown spatial data is kriging. The main objective of the paper is to introduce a general scheme of kriging in forecasting econometric time series using a family of linear ...

The spatial interpolation for soil texture does not necessarily satisfy the constant sum and nonnegativity constraints. Meanwhile, although numeric and categorical variables have been used as auxiliary variables to improve prediction accuracy of soil ...

Meta-models for structural reliability and uncertainty quantification [PDF]
A meta-model (or a surrogate model) is the modern name for what was traditionally called a response surface. It is intended to mimic the behaviour of a computational model M (e.g.

Abstract Many global and regional climate models predict shifts in the frequency and magnitude of precipitation events. It is unclear how this transition will influence delta and wetland development. We address this knowledge gap via two reduced‐scale physical delta experiments: one with constant discharge and the other with variable discharge.

Prediction by Regression and kriging for Spatial Data with Application [PDF]
This study deals with the prediction of the non-stationary spatial stochastic process. The prediction is done by two techniques which are regression technique (generalized least square estimation) and universal kriging technique.

We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

The spatial variability of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (STN) levels is important in both global carbon-nitrogen cycle and climate change research. There has been little research on the spatial distribution of SOC and STN at the watershed

Abstract Climate change, expanding human ignitions, and increased fuels from fire exclusion are driving increases in area burned and fire severity in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Increasing area burned is occurring against the backdrop of a large fire deficit caused by over a century of fire exclusion.
