Hemodynamic forces play a critical role in atherogenesis, as evidenced by the focal pattern of development of atherosclerotic lesions. Whereas disturbed flow in the branches and curved regions of large arteries is proatherogenic, laminar flow in the straig ...
The choice of a specific distribution for random parameters of discrete choice models is a critical issue in transportation analysis. Indeed, various pieces of research have demonstrated that an inappropriate choice of the distribution may lead to serious ...
A one-dimensional fragmentation analysis that incorporates elastic wave propagation and a cohesive failure process is presented. An irreversible cohesive law models the internal crack nucleation and opening process, and the elastodynamic states of the inta ...
Current reconstruction in cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) cables is a crucial issue to determine cables performance in working conditions, and must be performed using inverse problem approaches as direct measurement is not feasible. The current distribu ...
The study showed that the presence of an inverse square law relation for the distribution of the sizes of communities and species does not mark any significance organization within the system under consideration. It was shown that it rather was an inevitab ...
A new aerosol model, the Model of Aerosol Dynamics, Reaction, Ionization, and Dissolution (MADRID) has been developed to simulate atmospheric particulate matter (PM). MADRID and the Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) bulk aqueous-phase chemistry have been in ...
Two distinct methods underlying the existence of power-law distribution were studied. The distribution ws stationary under the process of merging and splitting of classes and the distribution of the entities under study was invariant. An explanation for th ...
The subthreshold membrane voltage of a neuron in active cortical tissue is a fluctuating quantity with a distribution that reflects the firing statistics of the presynaptic population. It was recently found that conductance-based synaptic drive can lead to ...
The idea that snow avalanches might behave as granular flows, and thus be described as Coulomb fluid flows, came up very early in the scientific study of avalanches, but it is not until recently that field evidence has been provided that demonstrates the r ...
This paper provides an efficient method for analyzing the error probability of the belief propagation (BP) decoder applied to LT Codes. Each output symbol is generated independently by sampling from a distribution and adding the input symbols corresponding ...
