The development of NIRS calibration model as a rapid, precise, robust, and cost-effective method to estimate oil content in ground seeds of worldwide safflower germplasm collection grown under different agro-climatic conditions was the key objective of this research project. The oil content was measured by accelerated solvent extraction method in a total of 328 samples collected across 2004 (16...

abstract the main purpose of this paper is to obtain the optimal amount of expenses of government relating to the protection of property rights (pprs). to achieve these purposes we have introduced concept of social intelligence with respect to pprs and then developed different growth model from existing literature. in the second step the optimal share of government spending on the pprs is calcu...

a novel approach to determine optimal sampling locations under parameter uncertainty in a water distribution system (wds) for the purpose of its hydraulic model calibration is presented. the problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimisation problem under calibration parameter uncertainty. the objectives are to maximise the calibrated model accuracy and to minimise the number of sampling d...

The discrete element method (DEM) has been widely employed to model processes in different industries, such as mining, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and food. One of the main lines research, which authors propose several approaches, is calibration parameters. Bulk (BCA) a common approach used that does not necessarily represent individual behavior each particle. On other hand, direct measuremen...

The underlying physics of granular matter can be clearly solved using particulate mechanics methods, e.g. the discrete element method (DEM) that is inherently discontinuous and heterogeneous. To solve static problems, explicit schemes using dynamic relaxation procedures have been widely employed, in which naturally dynamic material parameters are typically adapted into pure numerical artifacts ...

This paper introduces the updated plans for sensor calibration and product validation of the Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM), which is to fly on the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) satellite that will be launched this Japanese fiscal year. PRISM is used to derive digital elevation models (DEMs) with very high spatial resolution, which is also one of th...

The discrete element method (DEM) was used to establish the slump model and J-Ring of concrete describe flow behavior in test test. Then, contact parameters particle-particle particle-geometry for DEM model, including restitution coefficient, rolling friction static surface energy, were measured. In order avoid influence shape size aggregate, this paper high-precision glass spheres as aggregate...

The GaoFen-4 (GF-4), launched at the end of December 2015, is China’s first high-resolution geostationary optical satellite. A panchromatic and multispectral sensor (PMS) is onboard the GF-4 satellite. Unfortunately, the GF-4 has no onboard calibration assembly, so on-orbit radiometric calibration is required. Like the charge-coupled device (CCD) onboard HuanJing-1 (HJ) or the wide field of vie...

In this paper, a theoretical-empirical model is developed for modelling the accuracy of a grid digital elevation model (DEM) linearly constructed from scattered sample data. The theoretical component integrates sample data accuracy in the model by means of the error-propagation theory. The empirical component seeks to model what is known as information loss, i.e. the sum of the error due purely...
