Mathematical model for elastic beams with longitudinally variable depth [PDF]
In this work we introduce a new mathematical model for elastic beams with a cross-section of constant width and longitudinally variable depth, obtained from the classical three-dimensional linear elasticity problem by using an asymptotic expansion ...

Unconditional Variance Estimation Under Complex Surveys
Summary The unconditional framework treats the samples and the variables of interest as random variables. This is particularly suitable with analytic inference, when modelling survey data. We show that variance estimation does not involve finite population corrections and joint‐inclusion probabilities, even with large sampling fractions and under ...

Specification Tests for Jump‐Diffusion Models Based on the Characteristic Function
Summary Goodness‐of‐fit tests are suggested for several popular jump‐diffusion processes. The suggested test statistics utilise the marginal characteristic function of the model and its L2‐type discrepancy from an empirical counterpart. Model parameters are estimated either by minimising the aforementioned L2‐type discrepancy or by maximum likelihood ...

The Random Power Function for Tests Based on Pivotal Quantities
Summary In clinical trials planning, evaluation of the probability of success of an experiment is of central interest, for instance, in sample size determination. This assessment typically involves analyses of the power function of a test on a parameter of interest, such as a relevant treatment effect.

A computer model of solar panel-plasma interactions [PDF]
High power solar arrays for satellite power systems are presently being planned with dimensions of kilometers, and with tens of kilovolts distributed over their surface.

Vessel arrival planning with full information
Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.

Abstract X‐ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI), when implemented in micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) mode, offers high‐contrast 3D imaging of weakly‐attenuating material samples. In the so‐called single‐mask edge illumination approach, a mask with periodically spaced transmitting apertures is used to split the x‐ray beam into narrow beamlets; when ...

A preconditioned formulation of the Cauchy-Riemann equations [PDF]
A preconditioning of the Cauchy-Riemann equations which results in a second-order system is described. This system is shown to have a unique solution if the boundary conditions are chosen carefully.

Markov Determinantal Point Process for Dynamic Random Sets
ABSTRACT The Law of Determinantal Point Process (LDPP) is a flexible parametric family of distributions over random sets defined on a finite state space, or equivalently over multivariate binary variables. The aim of this paper is to introduce Markov processes of random sets within the LDPP framework. We show that, when the pairwise distribution of two
