PCFLOS, PPCFLOS and RPCFLOS are calculated in Foshan, China by conventional observation data from 1961 to 1990. The conclusions are: (1) The higher the elevations, the smaller the PCFLOS and the larger the view angles, the larger the PCFLOS. (2) PPCFLOS and RPCFLOS decrease with the increase of elevation and the delay of time. (3) RPCFLOS is always equal to or larger than PPCFLOS at lag times.展开更多

The details of the algorithm are as follows:the control points set, containing correct phase unwrapping points on the subsidence basin edge generated by D-InSAR and several observation points (near the maximum subsidence and inflection points), was established at first; genetic algorithm (GA) was then used to optimize the parameters of probability integral method; at last, the surface subsidence was deduced according to the optimum parameters. The results of the experiment in Huaibei mining area, China, show that the presented method can generate the correct mining subsidence basin with a few surface observations, and the relative error of maximum subsidence point is about 8.3%, which is much better than that of conventional D-InSAR (relative error is 68.0%).展开更多

The probability in...The probability calculus and statistics as well permeate nearly every discipline and professional sector, while no theories underpinning this wide spreading field reached universal consensus so far. The probability interpretations present irreconcilable traits, so the concept of probability is still substantially unclear. Purpose of this work: The present paper intends to demonstrate how the different models of probability constitute the facial problem which conceals another hidden and more fundamental question. Method: We show how authors do not agree with the concept of probability P and moreover they have different ideas about the precise object qualified by P, which has priority from the point of logic. It is clear how the element X measured by P(X) influences its meaning. In consequence of the conflicting opinions, theorists tend toward a compromise. They use the outcome or result of an experiment as the argument X of P(X) and represent X as a subset of the event space. This paper suggests replacing the outcome-subset with the event-triad E, which provides a comprehensive mathematical support. Results: The last section shows how the triadic model is formally consistent with the conventional theories and can integrate the conflicting views on probability. This unifying result can help mathematicians to go beyond the present theoretical deadlock. In summary, this paper advocates a more explicit notation system for probability and points out how probability can be ambiguous without rigorous specification of the sample space and the experiment in general.展开更多

The Daniels' effect and the probability of broken wires in the cable are introduced to develop the cable strength model and the reliability assessment technique for long-span cable-stayed bridges based on the safety factors analysis of stay cables in service. As an application of the proposed model, the cable safety reliability of the cable No. 25 of Zhaobaoshan cable-stayed bridge in China is calculated. The effects of various parameters on the estimated cable safety reliability are investigated. The results indicate that the proposed method can be used to assess the safety level of stay cables in cable-stayed bridges effectively. The Daniels' effect should be taken into account for assessment, and the probability of broken wires can be used to simulate the deterioration of stay cables in service.展开更多

文摘Fatigue analysis of engine turbine blade is an essential issue.Due to various uncertainties during the manufacture and operation,the fatigue damage and life of turbine blade present randomness.In this study,the randomness of structural parameters,working condition and vibration environment are considered for fatigue life predication and reliability assessment.First,the lowcycle fatigue problem is modelled as stochastic static system with random parameters,while the high-cycle fatigue problem is considered as stochastic dynamic system under random excitations.Then,to deal with the two failure modes,the novel Direct Probability Integral Method(DPIM)is proposed,which is efficient and accurate for solving stochastic static and dynamic systems.The probability density functions of accumulated damage and fatigue life of turbine blade for low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue problems are achieved,respectively.Furthermore,the time–frequency hybrid method is advanced to enhance the computational efficiency for governing equation of system.Finally,the results of typical examples demonstrate high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method by comparison with Monte Carlo simulation and other methods.It is indicated that the DPIM is a unified method for predication of random fatigue life for low-cycle and highcycle fatigue problems.The rotational speed,density,fatigue strength coefficient,and fatigue plasticity index have a high sensitivity to fatigue reliability of engine turbine blade.
文摘The study aims to develop an empirical model to predict the rainfall intensity in Al-Diwaniyah City,Iraq,according to a statistical analysis based on probability and the specific rainfall return period.Rainfall data were collected daily for 25 years starting in 2000.Daily rainfall data were converted to rainfall intensity for five duration periods ranging from one to five hours.The extreme values were checked,and data that deviated from the group trend were removed for each period,and then arranged in descending order using the Weibull formula to calculate the probability.Statistically,the model performance with a return period of two years is considered good when compared with observed results and other methods such as Talbot and Sherman with a coefficient of determination(R2)>0.97 and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency(NSE)>0.80.The results showed that a mathematical equation was obtained that describes the relationship between rainfall intensity,probability,and rainfall duration,which can be used for a confined return period with a 50% probability.Therefore,decision-makers can rely on the model to improve the performance of the city’s current drainage system during flood periods in the future.
文摘Decision-makers usually have an aspiration level,a target,or a benchmark they aim to achieve.This behavior can be rationalized within the expected utility framework,which incorporates the probability of success(achieving the aspiration level)as an important aspect of decision-making.Motivated by these theories,this study defines the probability of success as the number of days a firm’s return outperformed its benchmark in the portfolio formation month.This study uses portfolio-level and firm-level analyses,revealing an economically substantial and statistically significant relationship between the probability of success and expected stock returns,even after controlling for common risk factors and various characteristics.Additional analyses support the behavioral theory of the firm,which posits that firms act to achieve short-term aspiration levels.

文摘Recently,machine learning has become a powerful tool for predicting nuclear charge radius RC,providing novel insights into complex physical phenomena.This study employs a continuous Bayesian probability(CBP)estimator and Bayesian model averaging(BMA)to optimize the predictions of RCfrom sophisticated theoretical models.The CBP estimator treats the residual between the theoretical and experimental values of RCas a continuous variable and derives its posterior probability density function(PDF)from Bayesian theory.The BMA method assigns weights to models based on their predictive performance for benchmark nuclei,thereby accounting for the unique strengths of each model.In global optimization,the CBP estimator improved the predictive accuracy of the three theoretical models by approximately 60%.The extrapolation analyses consistently achieved an improvement rate of approximately 45%,demonstrating the robustness of the CBP estimator.Furthermore,the combination of the CBP and BMA methods reduces the standard deviation to below 0.02 fm,effectively reproducing the pronounced shell effects on RCof the Ca and Sr isotope chains.The studies in this paper propose an efficient method to accurately describe RCof unknown nuclei,with potential applications in research on other nuclear properties.

文摘Fires are one of the most destructive natural disasters and have serious long-term effects on the environment,economy,and human health.In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,China,frequent fire disturbance occurs due to the intensification of climate change and human activities.It is crucial to understand the fire regime and estimate the probability of regional fire occurrence and reducing fire losses.However,most studies have primarily focused on the dynamic changes,probability of occurrence,and driving mechanisms of wildfires in the grassland and forest land ecosystems in Inner Mongolia,while insufficient research has been conducted on the spatiotemporal variations in active fires and their impact on the wildfire risk in forest land and grassland.Therefore,in this study,we analyzed the active fire regime based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)thermal anomalies and burned area products from 2000 to 2022.Combined with climate,topographic,landscape,anthropogenic,and vegetation datasets,logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF),and convolutional neural network(CNN)models were chosen to estimate the probability of active fire occurrence at the seasonal timescale.The results revealed that:(1)a total of 100,343 active fires occurred in Inner Mongolia and the burned area reached 6.59×104 km².The number of ignition point exhibited a significant increasing trend,while the burned area exhibited a nonsignificant decreasing trend;(2)four active fire belts were detected,namely,the Hetao-Tumochuan Plain fire belt,Xiliao River Plain fire belt,Songnen Plain fire belt,and Hailar River Eroded Plain fire belt.The centroid of the active fires has shifted 456.4 km toward the southwest;(3)RF model achieved the highest accuracy in estimating the probability of active fire occurrence,followed by CNN,and LR and SVM models had lower accuracies;and(4)the distribution of the high and extremely high fire risk areas largely aligned with the four fire belts.The probability of active fire occurrence was the highest in spring,followed by that in autumn,and it gradually decreased in summer and winter.Our results revealed active fires migrated to the southwest and ignition sources increased,despite reduction of the burned area was not significant.The RF model outperformed the other models in predicting the probability of active fire occurrence.These findings contribute to future fire prevention and prediction in Inner Mongolia.

文摘This study presents an innovative approach to calculating the failure probability of slopes by incorporating fuzzylimit-state functions,a method that significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of slope stability analysis.Unlike traditional probabilistic techniques,this approach utilizes a least squares support vector machine(LSSVM)optimized with a grey wolf optimizer(GWO)and K-fold cross-validation(CV)to approximate the limit-statefunction,thus reducing computational complexity.The novelty of this work lies in its application to one-dimensional(1D),two-dimensional(2D),and three-dimensional(3D)slope models,demonstrating its versatility andhigh precision.The proposed method consistently achieves error margins within 3%of Monte Carlo simulation(MCS)results,while substantially reducing computation time,particularly for 2D and 3D models.This makes theapproach highly practical for real-world engineering applications.Furthermore,by applying fuzzy mathematics tohandle uncertainties in geotechnical properties,the method offers a more realistic and comprehensive understandingof slope stability.As water is the main factor influencing the stability of slopes,this aspect is investigatedby calculating the phreatic line after the change in water level.Relevant examples are used to show that the failureprobability of a slope under water wading condition can increase by more than 20%(increase rates in 1D,2D and3D conditions being 25%,27%and 31%,respectively)compared with the natural condition.The influence ofdiverse fuzzy membership functions—linear,normal,and Cauchy—on failure probability is also considered.Thisresearch not only provides a strategy for better calculation of the slope failure probability but also pioneers theintegration of computational intelligence,fuzzy logic and fluid-dynamics in geotechnical engineering,presentingan innovative and efficient tool for slope stability analysis.
文摘Based on Lund and Shanklin’s work (1972), methods of calculating Probability of Cloud-Free Lines-of-Sight (PCFLOS), Persistence Probability of Cloud-Free Lines-of-Sight (PPCFLOS) and Recurrence Probability of Cloud-free Lines-of-Sight (RPCFLOS) at given heights are presented. PCFLOS, PPCFLOS and RPCFLOS are calculated in Foshan, China by conventional observation data from 1961 to 1990. The conclusions are: (1) The higher the elevations, the smaller the PCFLOS and the larger the view angles, the larger the PCFLOS. (2) PPCFLOS and RPCFLOS decrease with the increase of elevation and the delay of time. (3) RPCFLOS is always equal to or larger than PPCFLOS at lag times.

文摘Due to the difficulties in obtaining large deformation mining subsidence using differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (D-InSAR) alone, a new algorithm was proposed to extract large deformation mining subsidence using D-InSAR technique and probability integral method. The details of the algorithm are as follows:the control points set, containing correct phase unwrapping points on the subsidence basin edge generated by D-InSAR and several observation points (near the maximum subsidence and inflection points), was established at first; genetic algorithm (GA) was then used to optimize the parameters of probability integral method; at last, the surface subsidence was deduced according to the optimum parameters. The results of the experiment in Huaibei mining area, China, show that the presented method can generate the correct mining subsidence basin with a few surface observations, and the relative error of maximum subsidence point is about 8.3%, which is much better than that of conventional D-InSAR (relative error is 68.0%).
文摘The probability calculus and statistics as well permeate nearly every discipline and professional sector, while no theories underpinning this wide spreading field reached universal consensus so far. The probability interpretations present irreconcilable traits, so the concept of probability is still substantially unclear. Purpose of this work: The present paper intends to demonstrate how the different models of probability constitute the facial problem which conceals another hidden and more fundamental question. Method: We show how authors do not agree with the concept of probability P and moreover they have different ideas about the precise object qualified by P, which has priority from the point of logic. It is clear how the element X measured by P(X) influences its meaning. In consequence of the conflicting opinions, theorists tend toward a compromise. They use the outcome or result of an experiment as the argument X of P(X) and represent X as a subset of the event space. This paper suggests replacing the outcome-subset with the event-triad E, which provides a comprehensive mathematical support. Results: The last section shows how the triadic model is formally consistent with the conventional theories and can integrate the conflicting views on probability. This unifying result can help mathematicians to go beyond the present theoretical deadlock. In summary, this paper advocates a more explicit notation system for probability and points out how probability can be ambiguous without rigorous specification of the sample space and the experiment in general.

文摘A method of cable safety analysis is proposed for safety evaluation of long-span cable-stayed bridges. The Daniels' effect and the probability of broken wires in the cable are introduced to develop the cable strength model and the reliability assessment technique for long-span cable-stayed bridges based on the safety factors analysis of stay cables in service. As an application of the proposed model, the cable safety reliability of the cable No. 25 of Zhaobaoshan cable-stayed bridge in China is calculated. The effects of various parameters on the estimated cable safety reliability are investigated. The results indicate that the proposed method can be used to assess the safety level of stay cables in cable-stayed bridges effectively. The Daniels' effect should be taken into account for assessment, and the probability of broken wires can be used to simulate the deterioration of stay cables in service.
