In this paper we review the asymptotic matching conjectures for rregular bipartite graphs, and their connections in estimating the monomerdimer entropies in d-dimensional integer lattice and Bethe lattices. We prove new rigorous upper and lower bounds for the monomer-dimer entropies, which support these conjectures. We describe a general construction of infinite families of r-regular tori graph...

To provide reliable and valid findings when evaluating innovative in-car devices in the automotive context highly realistic driving environments are recommended. Nowadays, in-car devices are mostly evaluated due to driving simulator studies followed by real car driving experiments. Driving simulators are characterized by high internal validity, but weak regarding ecological validity. Real car d...

• 61 commonly used Clear-sky irradiance models and 27 Machine Learning are reviewed. Those have been evaluated in various climate zones across China. The best performing model for hourly clear-sky estimation is obtained from this study. Some advisory advice can be areas with similar climatic types Accurate (CSI) a crucial factor most solar technologies improving cost competitiveness ensuring su...

In a previous paper, we reported the virtual axis finder, which is a new method for finding the rotational axes of the knee. The virtual axis finder was validated through simulations that were subject to limitations. Hence, the objective of the present study was to perform a mechanical validation with two measurement modalities: 3D video-based motion analysis and marker-based roentgen stereopho...

This document presents a provisional domain model for radio navigation data source objects, radio navigation, guidance, and flight director software. We use the model to describe relevant portions of the SOA (Special Operations Aircraft) and CT2 (Combat Talon II) as a first-order validations.

Through clean-slate implementation of two storage optimizations—track-aligned extents and track-aligned RAIDs—this paper shows the values of independent validations. The experience revealed many unanticipated disk and storage data path behaviors as potential roadblocks for wide deployment of these optimizations, and also identified implementation issues to retrofit these concepts to legacy data...
