Remote Sensing, 2021 In GNSS analysis, the tropospheric delay is parameterized by applying mapping functions (MFs), zenith delays, and tropospheric gradients. Thereby, the wet and hydrostatic MF are derived under the assumption of a spherically layered atmosphere.

The Viability of Oil Extraction from Trinidad Tar Sands by Radio Frequency Heating: A Simulation Approach [PDF]
Journal of Petroleum Science and Technology, 2018 Trinidad has tar sand resources of about 2 billion barrels of oil on land in the Parrylands/Guapo and Brighton areas. With an oil price of over USD 25 per barrel, the commercial extraction of oil from Trinidad tar sands is viable, but it requires a ...

Theoretical loss and gambling intensity: a simulation study [PDF]
, 2012 Many recent studies of internet gambling—particularly those that have analysed behavioural tracking data—have used variables such as ‘bet size’ and ‘number of games played’ as proxy measures for ‘gambling intensity.’ In this paper, it is argued that the ...

Preservation of Genetic Variation in a Breeding Population for Long-Term Genetic Gain
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Genomic selection has been successfully implemented in plant and animal breeding. The transition of parental selection based on phenotypic characteristics to genomic selection (GS) has reduced breeding time and cost while accelerating the rate of genetic

Wavelet Estimators in Nonparametric Regression: A Comparative Simulation Study [PDF]
, 2001 Wavelet analysis has been found to be a powerful tool for the nonparametric estimation of spatially-variable objects. We discuss in detail wavelet methods in nonparametric regression, where the data are modelled as observations of a signal contaminated ...
