Abstract:
... Fugitive road dust (FRD) contributes a great deal to urban rainwater and air pollution and is commonly controlled by water-sprinkling in most Chinese cities. However, there is a lack of information on its effectiveness. We used the Testing Re-entrained Aerosol Kinetic Emissions from Roads (TRAKER) method to monitor different types of roads in Baoding city before and within 1 hr after water-sprinkl ...

Abstract:
... Case studies form a vital part of sociological inquiry. Despite their important strengths, they often fail to pursue issues of external validity or replication, an important direction for social science generally. In this article, I begin with the premise that at least some case studies can and should contribute to a growing body of research within sociology aimed at replication and promoting exte ...

Abstract:
... The statistical design of experiments methodology (DoE) has been a valuable tool since its conception for the understanding of the relationship between factors and responses. Although it has been employed successfully in different research fields and industries for years, its application to the evaluation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is just getting recognition. LIBs are one of the most promisi ...

Abstract:
... The pancreatic islets of Langerhans are biomedically important because they are home to the beta cells that secrete insulin and are hence important for understanding diabetes. They are also an important case study for the mechanisms of bursting oscillations and how these oscillations emerge from the electrical coupling of highly heterogeneous cells. Early work has pointed to a voting/democratic pa ...

The two-dimensional (2D) modelling approach provides a higher accuracy and detail with respect to one-dimensional (1D) modelling. On the other hand, 2D models require a large amount of topographic and hydraulic infor ...

Abstract:
... In calibration of model parameters for discrete element method (DEM) based models the focus lies on matching the mean key performance indicator (KPI) values from laboratory experiments to those from simulation results. However, due to the stochastic nature of granular processes experimental results can show large variances. To include stochastic behaviour, interpolation-based and regression-based ...

Understanding how useful any particular set of event data might be for conflict research requires appropriate methods for assessing validity when ground truth data about the population of interest do not exist. We argue that a total error framework can provide better leverage on these critical questions than previous methods have been able to deliver. We first define a total event data error appro ...

Each of these data-filtering approaches leads to the exclusion of different types of data, which is known to affect phylogenetic outcome. However, the choice of a filtering strategy is often subjective and the robustness o ...
