In this paper, we propose a nonlinear tracking solution for maneuvering aerial targets based on an adaptive interacting multiple model (IMM) framework and unscented Kalman filters (UKFs), termed as AIMM-UKF. The purpose is to obtain more accurate estimat...

Climate change and overpopulation have led to an increase in water demands worldwide. As a result, land subsidence due to groundwater extraction and water level decline is causing damage to communities in arid and semiarid regions. The agricultural plain...

(1) Background: The stochastic nature of agent-based models (ABMs) may be responsible for the variability of simulated outputs. Multiple simulation runs (i.e., replicates) need to be performed to have enough sample size for hypothesis testing and validat...

For model verification and validation (V & V) in computational mechanics, a hypothesis test for the validity check (HTVC) is useful, in particular, with a limited number of experimental data. However, HTVC does not address how type I and II errors ca...

We examined the dynamic linkages among money market interest rates in the so-called ?BRICS? countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) by using weekly data of the overnight, one-, three-, and six- months, as well as of one year, Treasury ...

Open-ended pipe piles have been increasingly used as the foundations for offshore structures. Considering the soil plugging effect, a novel analytical model is proposed in this paper to study the load transfer mechanism of open-ended pipe piles. A trilin...

Typhoons are the main type of natural disaster in Korea, and accurately predicting typhoon-induced flood flows at gauged and ungauged locations remains an important challenge. Flood flows caused by six typhoons since 2002 (typhoons Rusa, Maemi, Nari, Die...
