An Analysis Tool for Flight Dynamics Monte Carlo Simulations
(2011-05-20)Spacecraft design is inherently difficult due to the nonlinearity of the systems involved as well as the expense of testing hardware in a realistic environment. The number and cost of flight tests can be reduced by ... -
Modeling Study of Proposed Field Calibration Source Using K-40 Source and High-Z Targets for Sodium Iodide Detector
(2012-10-30)The Department of Energy (DOE) has ruled that all sealed radioactive sources, even those considered exempt under Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, are subject to radioactive material controls. However, sources ... -
Net pay evaluation: a comparison of methods to estimate net pay and net-to-gross ratio using surrogate variables
(2009-06-02)Net pay (NP) and net-to-gross ratio (NGR) are often crucial quantities to characterize a reservoir and assess the amount of hydrocarbons in place. Numerous methods in the industry have been developed to evaluate NP and ... -
On the informative value of the largest sample element of log-Gumbel distribution
(Versita, 2007-12)Extremes of stream flow and precipitation are commonly modeled by heavytailed distributions. While scrutinizing annual flow maxima or the peaks over threshold, the largest sample elements are quite often suspected to be ... -
Reliability Evaluation of Composite Power Systems Including the Effects of Hurricanes
(2011-02-22)Adverse weather such as hurricanes can significantly affect the reliability of composite power systems. Predicting the impact of hurricanes can help utilities for better preparedness and make appropriate restoration ... -
Simulation Analysis and Meta-Analysis of Single-Case Experimental Designs
(2017-08-07)Single-case experimental designs remain outside of mainstream methodology despite their substantial contributions to our understanding of human behavior. An obstacle to wider adoption is the lack of consensus regarding the ... -
Study of Fluid Behavior and PVT Properties of Hydrocarbons in Shale Reservoirs Using Molecular Simulations
(2015-08-07)Reservoir studies are crucial for field development plans. The level of the studies ranges from analogies to fully integrated production modeling. Numerical reservoir simulation is a tool to predict how fluid will flow in ... -
The Effect of Selective Data Omission on Type I Error Rates: A Simulation Study
(2015-10-26)There do not exist widely accepted guidelines or standards for identification and removal of outlying data in empirical research. There are sometimes significant incentives for researchers to discover particular research ...
