Abstract: This paper presents a cubic model for the sphere–flat elastic–plastic contact without adhesion. In the cubic model, the applied load and the contact area are described by the cubic polynomial functions of the displacement ...

Abstract: probabilistic spatiotemporal approach based on a spatial regression test (SRT-PS) is proposed for the quality control of climate data. It provides a quantitative probability that represents the uncertainty in each temperature ...

Abstract: ome climate datasets are incomplete at certain places and times. A novel technique called the point estimation model of Biased Sentinel Hospitals-based Area Disease Estimation (P-BSHADE) is introduced to interpolate missing ...
