A PU-equivalent PM can perform three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) motion that is identical to the end motion of a PU serial chain. The two axes of rotation always intersect and remain perpendicular. In other words, the rotation center of a PU-equivalent PM is restricted to a line; thus,...
A new information diffusion modelling technique based on vibrating string equation and its application in natural disaster risk assessment In this paper, to naturally fill the gap in incomplete data, a new algorithm is proposed for estimating the risk of natural disasters based on the informat... ...

This procedure interpolates the radar data into a domain with equidistant position samples in space, allowing us to fix the sampling interval 𝑑𝑥dx instead of calculating a mean value for each segment. Hyperbolas in the radar image are segmented manually using a simple “draw rectangle” ...
(SWE) distribution by fitting a function to the trajectory plot of the standard deviation versus mean SWE across a domain. Data were used from 90 snow stations for a 34-year period across the Southern Rocky Mountains in the western United States. The stations were divided into sub-sets based...
Fixing the time constants does not favour GITT over AMPP or vice versa; it allows us to isolate resistive response during the completion of each procedure, which in turn yields a more robust comparison process, increasing confidence in quoted quantities within the confinements of the investigation...
Given that accumulated SWE and water-year precipitation are closely correlated [8], it is reasonable to assume that the FIA tree-ring data will serve as a proxy for SWE as well. Therefore, in this paper we develop a reconstruction of April 1 SWE using the FIA tree-ring data combined ...
0.001 SS—Sum of squares (This relates to the total variance of the observations); DF—Degrees of Freedom (Each sample has degrees of freedom equal to one less than their sample sizes, so with k samples the total degrees of freedom is k less than the total sample size: df = N - k....
The region in between is referred as mesoscale. This paper is aimed at presenting some experimental data during R1234ze(E) flow boiling inside a smooth tube with an internal diameter of 2.5 mm, in a wide range of working conditions: mass velocity from 200 to 600 kg m−2 s−1, heat...
