A multi-scale model for fluid transport through a bio-inspired passive valve
Tillandsia landbeckii is a rootless plant thriving in the hyper-arid Atacama Desert of Chile. These plants use unique cellulose-based microscopic structures called trichomes to collect fresh water from coastal fog. The ...
Multi-scale Modeling of Animal Movement and General Behavior Data Using Hidden Markov Models with Hierarchical Structures
(Amer Statistical Assoc & Int Biometric Soc, 2017-09)
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are commonly used to model animal movement data and infer aspects of animal behavior. An HMM assumes that each data point from a time series of observations stems from one of N possible states. ...
A 2D boundary element formulation to model the constitutive behavior of heterogeneous microstructures considering dissipative phenomena
(2019-02-01)
A boundary element formulation to obtain the constitutive response of heterogeneous microstructures is proposed, considering a RVE-based multiscale theory. The sub-region technique is adopted to model the RVE (Representative ...
Prospecting the potential of ecosystem restoration: A proposed framework and a case study
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-11-01)
Projects focusing on the restoration of degraded ecosystems have to be financially appealing, spatially multiscaled, and ecologically efficient. Considering such premises, a model was elaborated to assess the locals in ...
Mathematical model for acid water neutralization with anomalous and fast diffusion
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
In this paper we model the neutralization of an acid solution in which the hydrogen ions are transported according to Cattaneo’s diffusion. The latter is a modification of classical Fickian diffusion in which the flux ...
Solving the multi-site and multi-orbital Dynamical Mean Field Theory using Density Matrix Renormalization
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-02)
We implement an efficient numerical method to calculate response functions of complex impurities based on the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) and use it as the impurity-solver of the Dynamical Mean Field Theory ...
An assessor-specific Bayesian multi-threshold mixed model for analyzing ordered categorical traits in tree breeding
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-12)
Many traits of biological interest in tree breeding are assessed using more than two ordered discrete categories. These scores have a more or less arbitrary and subjective assignment by the assessors, which could lead to ...
Spatially-explicit modeling of multi-scale drivers of aboveground forest biomass and water yield in watersheds of the Southeastern United States
Understanding ecosystem processes and the influence of regional scale drivers can provide useful information for managing forest ecosystems. Examining more local scale drivers of forest biomass and water yield can also ...
Geographical Variations of the Minimum Mortality Temperature at a Global Scale: A Multicountry Study.
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2021)
BACKGROUND: Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature-mortality association, indicating long-term adaptation to local climate. Limited evidence about the geographical variability ...
Medical image retrieval and analysis by Markov random fields and multi-scale fractal dimension
(Institute of Physics - IOPBristol, 2015-02)
Many Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems and image analysis tools employ color, shape and texture (in a combined fashion or not) as attributes, or signatures, to retrieve images from databases or to perform image ...
