Truncated beta nonlinear regression models for soil-water characteristic curves estimation. [PDF]
, 2013 We propose an alternative approach for estimating soil-water characteristic curves based on truncated beta nonlinear regression models. Thus, assuming that the response variable follows a truncated beta distribution.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 2177-2199, 25 June 2025.ABSTRACT In this study, a hybrid black‐ and white‐box machine learning (ML) framework is proposed for matric suction estimation in compacted fine‐grained soils, utilizing ML techniques, namely, particle swarm optimized support vector regression (PSO‐SVR) and multi‐gene genetic programming (MGGP). This objective is achieved through developing a novel ML‐

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract The soil above the water table in the shallow layers of the Earth is typically unsaturated, and understanding the complicated multiphase contact modes and interactions in unsaturated is crucial for accurately simulating multi‐physical field coupling and predicting foundation deformation in frozen soil region. In this study, a theoretical model

Comparing Cournot and Bertrand Competition in a Unionized Mixed Duopoly [PDF]
We investigate a differentiated mixed duopoly in which private and public firms can choose to strategically set prices or quantities by facing a union bargaining process. For the case of a unionized mixed duopoly, only the public firm is able to choose a

Effect of hydrogel particle additives on water-accessible pore structure of sandy soils: A custom pressure plate apparatus and capillary bundle model [PDF]
, 2013 To probe the effects of hydrogel particle additives on the water-accessible pore structure of sandy soils, we introduce a custom pressure plate method in which the volume of water expelled from a wet granular packing is measured as a function of applied ...

Estimation of soil water characteristic curve parameters in different models in light soils [PDF]
رویکردهای نوین در مهندسی آب و محیط زیستIn addition to soil water content, soil matric potential is also important for plant growth. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) or soil moisture characteristic curve describes soil water content and soil matric potential relationship.
