Gross Tonnage-Based Statistical Modeling and Calculation of Shipping Emissions for the Bosphorus Strait by Kaan Ünlügençoğlu

“…These EPA-estimated values served as dependent variables in the modeling process. The modeling framework followed a three-step strategy: (1) outlier detection using Rosner’s test to reduce the influence of outliers on model accuracy, (2) curve fitting with 12 regression models representing four curve types—polynomial (e.g., linear, quadratic), concave/convex (e.g., exponential, logarithmic), sigmoidal (e.g., logistic, Gompertz, Weibull), and spline-based (e.g., cubic spline, natural spline)—to capture diverse functional relationships between GT and emissions, and (3) model comparison using difference performance metrics to ensure a comprehensive assessment of predictive accuracy, consistency, and bias. …”

Radar-equivalent snowpack: reducing the number of snow layers while retaining their microwave properties and bulk snow mass by J. Meloche, N. R. Leroux, B. Montpetit, V. Vionnet, C. Derksen

“…<p>Snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval from Ku-band radar measurements is possible with complex retrieval algorithms involving prior information on the snowpack microstructure and a microwave radiative transfer model to link backscatter measurements to snow properties. A key variable in a retrieval is the number of snow layers, with more complex layering yielding richer information but at an increased computational cost and number of unknowns. …”

Mechanical Properties and Statistical Damage Constitutive Model of Rock under a Coupled Chemical-Mechanical Condition by Yun Lin, Feng Gao, Keping Zhou, Rugao Gao, Hongquan Guo

“…To investigate the mechanical damage evolution process of rock under a coupled chemical-mechanical (CM) condition, an improved statistical damage constitutive model was established using the Drucker-Prager (D-P) strength criterion and two-parameter Weibull distribution. The damage variable correction coefficient and chemical damage variable which was determined by porosity were also considered in the model. …”
