Ecological processes are rarely directly observable, and inference often relies on estimating hidden or latent processes. State-space models have become widely used for this task because of their ability to simultaneously estimate the multiple sources variation (natural variability variance attributed observation errors). For multivariate time series, a second aim is dimension reduction, number...

Assessment of intelligence is often based on fluid (gf) and crystallized intelligence (gc), and – in the German-speaking countries – the Berlin Model of Intelligence Structure (BIS). As yet, however, the two approaches have not been systematically related to each other. The present study therefore aims to identify possible relationships between the approaches. We hypothesize that gf is related ...

harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. the widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. this paper employs an extended harmonic domain (ehd) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...

in order to study the correlation between morphophenological and quantitative traits with yield and to determine the most important traits for yield, 600 ecotypes of mung bean were evaluated in normal and limited irrigation conditions through augmented design. computation of correlation coefficients showed that in two conditions, number of pods per plant, harvest index and biological yield had ...

abstract in the dynamic and competitive market, managers seek to find effective strategies for new products development. since there has not been a thorough research in this field, this study is based on a review on the risks exist in the npd process and an analysis of risks through fmea approach to prioritize the existent risks and a modeling behavior of the npd process and main risks using sy...

in this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow i-core subjected to blast loading was studied. special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. the material and geo...
