... Stochastic models play a crucial role in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) data processing. Many studies contribute to the stochastic modeling of GNSS observation noise, whereas few studies focus on the stochastic modeling of process noise. This paper proposes a method that is able to jointly estimate the variances of observation noise and process noise. The method is flexible since it is ...

Abstract:
... Asymptotic properties of least squares model averaging have been discussed in the literature under two different scenarios: (i) all candidate models are under-fitted; and (ii) the candidate models include the true model and may also include over-fitted ones. The penalty factor ϕn in the weight selection criterion plays a critical role. Roughly speaking, ϕn=2 is usually preferred in the first scena ...

Abstract:
... Moving target imaging in high-squint synthetic aperture radar (SAR) shows great potential for reconnaissance and surveillance tasks. For the desired resolution, high-squint SAR has a long-time coherent processing interval (CPI). In this case, the maneuvering motion of the moving target usually causes high-order phase terms in the echoed data, which cannot be neglected for precise focusing. Many gr ...
... Introducing ionospheric information into a precise point positioning (PPP) solution enables faster ambiguity resolution and significantly improves positioning accuracy. To compute such corrections over wide areas, sparse networks with potentially irregular station distributions are often used. This aspect brings a new level of complexity as ionospheric corrections should be weighted appropriately ...
... The aim of this research was to determine if the division between the cervical, dorsal, and croup profiles (three regions commonly assessed for descriptive profile purposes) has a modular basis as well as a morphological integration. For this, a total of 135 digital photographs were obtained, in a lateral view, of adult horses (14 females and 121 geldings; age range: 2–20 years), of the Araucanian ...

Abstract:
... To achieve the desired product qualities for an operating process, the operational status must be monitored. Operating conditions are changed because of the variability in the quality of raw materials and equipment characteristics. The operating conditions are also changed to produce various product grades and to meet time-to-market demands. This makes the process data collected within a wide regi ...

Abstract:
... To accurately quantify Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae samples, trilinear structure was restored in the stacked fingerprints for more robust modeling. Initially, liquid chromatography - diode array detector - mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-MS) and head space-solid phase micro extraction coupled to gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) were utilized to analyze Pericarpium Citri Reticulata ...

Abstract:
... Glycerol ester (GE) is a kind of important lipid in milk, which varies greatly depending on many factors. In this study, a novel pseudotargeted lipidomics strategy, named SWATH-MS2&1, was developed for the detection of GEs in milk and the Folch method was selected for the sample preparation. The developed method exhibited a competitive alternative to the acknowledged pseudotargeted strategy, inclu ...

Abstract:
... The objective of the present work was to make a quantitative and critical comparison of a number of drift and noise-removal algorithms, which were proven useful by other researchers, but which had never been compared on an equal basis. To make a rigorous and fair comparison, a data generation tool is developed in this work, which utilizes a library of experimental backgrounds, as well as peak shap ...

Abstract:
... The Tanlu fault zone, extending over 2400 km from South China to Russia, is one of the most conspicuous tectonic elements in eastern Asia. In this study, we processed the Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of Anhui Continuously Operating Reference System (AHCORS) between January 2013 and June 2018 to derive a high-precision velocity field in the central and southern segments of the Tanlu ...

Abstract:
... Bloodstain impact pattern Area of Origin (AO) estimation is an important but time-consuming process in criminal investigations. HemoVision is a software package that automates and accelerates this process. To date, however, no study has been published that evaluates HemoVision’s accuracy. Moreover, HemoVision relies on an automated variant of the tangent method to estimate a pattern’s AO, even tho ...

Abstract:
... Accurate prediction of photovoltaic power is of great significance to the storage and utilization of solar power. In this research, a deep learning model for photovoltaic power prediction based on gated recurrent unit network (GRU), improved sine cosine algorithm (ISCA), and complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) is proposed. Firstly, CEEMD is used to decompose the original photovo ...

Abstract:
... The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education sector includes the learning system that cannot be conducted directly (offline). With the change in the learning system, it is necessary to evaluate whether the implemented online learning system can run well and provide results as expected. The level of student satisfaction is one of the factors that can be used to evaluate online learning. Thi ...

Abstract:
... By fitting observed data with predicted seismograms, least‐squares migration (LSM) computes a generalized inverse for a subsurface reflectivity model, which can improve image resolution and reduce artifacts caused by incomplete acquisition. However, the large computational cost of LSM required for simulations and migrations limits its wide applications for large‐scale imaging problems. Using point ...

In this paper, we study the joint range and angle estimation problem based in monostatic frequency diverse-array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar, and propose a method for range and angle estimation base on compressed unitary parallel factor (PARAFAC). First, the received complex signal matrix is stacked into a third-order complex signal tensor. Then, we can transform the obtained t ...

Abstract:
... By conducting binding experiments at a range of temperatures T using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), one can obtain two estimates of the binding enthalpy — calorimetric (ΔH°cₐₗ) from the experiments at each T, and van't Hoff (ΔH°ᵥH) from the T dependence of the binding constant K°. From thermodynamics it is clear that these two must be identical, but early efforts to demonstrate this for I ...

Abstract:
... Spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) have been implemented for the last four decades in most countries. One of the key objectives of SDIs is to ensure the quick availability and accessibility of spatial data. The success of SDI depends on the underlying spatial datasets. Many developing countries such as Pakistan are facing problems in implementing SDI because of the unavailability of spatial data. ...

In this paper, we focus on the estimation for a longitudinal semi-varying coefficient model which is of irregular errors. A semiparametric profile least-squares method is developed to estimate parameters in the mean function and error structure simultaneously. Then, a two ...

Regioselective arrangement of two groups of orthogonal reactivity in bowl-shaped as-indaceno[3,2,1,8,7,6-pqrstuv]picene (Idpc) was key for the synthesis of hetero-bis-functionalized Idpc derivatives. Halogen and methyl groups were positioned at specific positions in the rim area of Idpc at an early stage during the synthesis by functionalization of suitable precursors.

To evaluate the performance of the classic machine learning algorithms and the effectiveness of various features, the iterative algorithms (i.e., support vector machine (SVM), and least-squares SVM (LS-SVM)) and non-iterative algorithms (i.e., random forest (RF) and naive bayes (NB)) for six feature schemes were performed to classify the ECG recordings. The ECG recordings were initially filtered w ...
