Variational representations of Varadhan functionals [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2000 Motivated by the theory of large deviations, we introduce a class of non-negative non-linear functionals that have a variational “rate function" representation.

Temporal and Spatial Variation of Soil Bacteria Richness, Composition, and Function in a Neotropical Rainforest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The high diversity of tree species has traditionally been considered an important controller of belowground processes in tropical rainforests. However, soil water availability and resources are also primary regulators of soil bacteria in many ecosystems.

Control Variates as Screening Functions [PDF]
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools, 2008 Suppose that the mean μ = E[F(X)] of a given function F: ℝ → ℝ is to be estimated by the empirical average Sn: = 1/nΣi=1n F(Xi) of the values F(Xi), where X1,X2, ..., Xn are independent samples distributed like X. In cases when the mean v = E[U(X)] of a different function U: ℝ → ℝ is known, we introduce a sampling rule, called the "screened estimator,"

First Order Hadamard Variation of the Harmonic Navigation Function on a Sphere World
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2018 Planning conflict-free trajectories is a long-standing problem in Air Traffic Management. Navigation functions designed specifically to produce flyable trajectories have been previously considered, but lack the robustness to uncertain weather conditions ...

Offshore wind energy: modal analysis of a jacket-type substructure as a function of soil variation [PDF]
REM: International Engineering JournalThis study presents a modal analysis of a jacket-type substructure supporting a 15 MW offshore wind turbine, aiming to assess the influence of geotechnical soil variability on the foundation’s dynamic response. Three representative soil profiles from the
