Managing Wind Power Generation via Indexed Semi-Markov Model and Copula

Energies, 2020
Because of the stochastic nature of wind turbines, the output power management of wind power generation (WPG) is a fundamental challenge for the integration of wind energy systems into either power systems or microgrids (i.e., isolated systems consisting

MRI for Lung Cancer Management: Any Closer to Clinical Application?

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Management of lung cancer (LC) encompasses screening, diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy planning and guidance, therapy monitoring and surveillance. Across these domains, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a range of morphological and functional imaging capabilities—including diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE)

Stochastic-based pavement performance and deterioration models: A review of techniques and applications

Alexandria Engineering Journal
Infrastructure assets, such as pavements, naturally deteriorate over time due to traffic loads, environmental conditions, and other external factors. Traditionally, deterministic models have been employed to predict performance, aiding in work planning ...

TIPPtool: Compositional Specification and Analysis of Markovian Performance Models [PDF]

, 1999
In this short paper we briefly describe a tool which is based on a Markovian stochastic process algebra. The tool offers both model specification and quantitative model analysis in a compositional fashion, wrapped in a userfriendly graphical front ...

Hidden Markov Quantile Models With Trends for Analysing Air Temperature Data

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
There is the question of whether climate change, expressed by time‐trends in temperature, is of a heterogeneous nature or not. Here, the time‐trend heterogeneity argument has been investigated using Hidden Markov (HM) quantile time‐trends models in temperature time series.

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Extending the hyper‐logistic model to the random setting: New theoretical results with real‐world applications

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

High Relative Accuracy Computations With Covariance Matrices of Order Statistics

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many statistical applications, numerical computations with covariance matrices need to be performed. The error made when performing such numerical computations increases with the condition number of the covariance matrix, which is related to the number of variables and the strength of the correlation between the variables. In a recent work,

A Novel Two‐Stage Flexible Flow Shop Batch Scheduling Model for Grinding Workshops

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing need for data storage in data centers has increased the demand for mechanical hard disks due to their low cost and high reliability. Aluminum substrates are the most popular base plates for mechanical hard disks because of their high hardness and low cost.
