Tuning the length dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by ball milling

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Claudio Grimaldi, Richard Gaal, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Rita Smajda, Primoz Rebernik Ribic

The statistical analysis of the length distribution of catalytic chemical vapour deposition synthesized multi-walled carbon nanotubes cut by planetary ball milling is reported. The nanotube lengths follow a log-normal distribution in a broad range of grind ...

Geostatistics of Dependent and Asymptotically Independent Extremes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud, Raphaël Huser

Spatial modeling of rare events has obvious applications in the environmental sciences and is crucial when assessing the effects of catastrophic events (such as heatwaves or widespread flooding) on food security and on the sustainability of societal infras ...

A comparison between two statistical and a physically-based model in snow water equivalent mapping

Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Tobias Jonas

Snow water equivalent (SWE) estimates at the end of the winter season have been compared for the 2002–2006 period in a 200 km2 mountainous area in Switzerland, using three different models. The first model, ALPINE3D, is a physically based process-oriented ...

Extreme rainfall in West Africa: A regional modeling

Juliette Ferial Blanchet, Adnan Ali

In a world of increasing exposure of populations to natural hazards, the mapping of extreme rainfall remains a key subject of study. Such maps are required for both flood risk management and civil engineering structure design, the challenge being to take i ...

Discussion “Experimental study of velocity fields in rectangular shallow reservoirs”, Reply by the authors

Anton Schleiss, Erica Camnasio

The authors present the results of a new experimental study to improve the flow classification in rectangular shallow reservoirs. Although previous papers have paved the way for the classification (Dewals et al. 2008, Dufresne et al. 2010), the authors are ...

Rainfall intermittency is analyzed and quantified at small spatial and temporal scales using 2 years of radar and disdrometer data collected in Switzerland. Analytical models are fitted and used to describe the intermittency for spatial scales between 0 an ...

Stratégies de compromis pour l'estimation des paramètres de régression et pour la classification floue

Nicolas Fournier

Model specification is an integral part of any statistical inference problem. Several model selection techniques have been developed in order to determine which model is the best one among a list of possible candidates. Another way to deal with this questi ...

If an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is used within a ΣΔ converter such that the loop filter is mixed signal, then the ADC does not need to have the full resolution of the ΣΔ converter, and its input values will not be uniformly distributed over the inp ...

Learning with Compressible Priors

Volkan Cevher

We describe a set of probability distributions, dubbed compressible priors, whose independent and identically distributed (iid) realizations result in p-compressible signals. A signal x in R^N is called p-compressible with magnitude R if its sorted coeffic ...

Many methods can be used to test alternative ground water models. Of concern in this work are methods able to (1) rank alternative models (also called model discrimination) and (2) identify observations important to parameter estimates and predictions (equ ...
