This paper presents the application of Buckingham’s π theorem to scale the powertrain of a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) by deriving non dimensional ratios called π parameters. A HIL setup is constructed and the resulting longitudinal dynamics of the scaled vehicle are validated against those of the full scale vehicle. This is performed with the ultimate goal of testing coo...

Simulated dark matter haloes are fitted by self-similar, universal density profiles, where the scaled parameters depend only on a scaled (truncation) radius, Ξ = R/r0, which, in turn, is supposed to be independent on the mass and the formation redshift. The further assumption of a lognormal distribution (for a selected mass bin) of the scaled radius, or concentration, in agreement with the data...

This paper describes a class ordinal regression models in which the link function has scale parameters that may be estimated along with the regression parameters. One motivation is to provide a plausible model for group level categorical responses. In this case a natural class of scaled link functions is obtained by treating the group level responses as threshold averages of possible correlated...

This paper presents the application of Buckingham’s π theorem to scale the powertrain of a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) by deriving non dimensional ratios called π parameters. A Hardware In the Loop (HIL) setup is constructed and the resulting longitudinal dynamics of the scaled vehicle are validated against those of a full scale vehicle model.

In this paper, we propose a fast one-parameter variant of preconditioned Uzawa (OVPU) method with a scaled preconditioner for solving the saddle point problems, and then we present its convergence region and a formula for finding its optimal parameter. Also performance of the proposed OVPU method with a scaled preconditioner is compared with the existing one or two parameter iterative methods w...

nanotechnology, shortened to nanotech, is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. generally, nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension and involves developing materials or devices within that size. the use of nanotechnology in the field of pharmaceutics and drug delivery has grown over the last few years, so ...

The standard approaches to solving overdetermined linear systems Ax ≈ b construct minimal corrections to the vector b and/or the matrix A such that the corrected system is compatible. In ordinary least squares (LS) the correction is restricted to b, while in data least squares (DLS) it is restricted to A. In scaled total least squares (Scaled TLS) [15], corrections to both b and A are allowed, ...

to examine hydraulics of lnapls in soil, the retention curves of diesel fuel and water were both determined by hanging column method. the soil retention parameters were obtained based on van genuchten, brooks-corey and campbell’s models. in addition, the soil hydraulic conductivity for both fluids were predicted based on mualem- brooks-corey, burdine- brooks-corey, mualem-van genuchten and camp...

This article revisits the objective function (or metric) used in extraction of photovoltaic (PV) model parameters. A theoretical investigation shows that widely current distance (CD) metric does not yield maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) parameters when there is noise both voltage and samples. It demonstrates Euclidean (ED) should be instead, powers are equal. For general case, a new noise-sc...
