Computational modeling and simulations are widely used for evaluation of the performance and safety features of innovative nuclear reactor designs. Multigroup-based deterministic neutronics codes are often employed in these reactor design calculations because they can provide fast predictions of the neutron flux distribution and other neutronics characteristic parameters. Nevertheless, providing accurate multigroup cross sections for deterministic codes is an onerous job, which makes establishing an exhaustive cross-section library computationally prohibitive. Partly because of these reasons, multigroup neutron cross sections are normally stored only at certainty state points in the data library of these deterministic codes, and linear interpolation methodology is commonly utilized to estimate the cross sections at unknown states. However, the applicability of linear interpolation is limited, and the precision of its results is moderate. In this paper, we discuss a preliminary feasibility study that we performed on providing more precise multigroup cross sections for deterministic neutronics codes by using the linear regression methodology. Compared to the traditional linear interpolation method, the linearregression approach principally showed improved computational efficiency considering the use of more data in the cross-section library, and constructed hypothesis functions for the responses of interest with a higher order of accuracy. In this study, a case study on Lightbridge Corporation's metallic fuel element was carried out to demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of linearregression in multigroup cross-section interpretation. A reference cross-section library was established through calculations conducted with the Monte Carlo neutronic code Serpent. Because of the preliminary nature of this feasibility study, only the macroscopic total cross section is considered. linear interpolation and linearregression were both used to estimate cross sections at

Bone grinding represents a formidable challenge during open epiphyseal surgery, as grinding force may result in potential damage to bone and surrounding tissues. To address this issue, this study establishes a correlation between grinding force and bone density, as well as feed rate and rotational speed. Given the limited availability of experimental data on bone grinding, a finite element analysis (FEA) model is developed. Subsequently, the impact of bone density, feed rate and rotational speed on grinding force is determined through linear regression method. The accuracy and sensitivity of the grinding force model are then assessed, revealing a maximum prediction deviation of 4.87%. Finally, based on the established model, safe operating parameters and boundary conditions for robot bone grinding are identified.

A novel joint image coding and reversible data hiding method for vector quantization (VQ) compressed images is proposed in this paper. Since the original VQ indices often exhibit uncorrelated, a rearrangement of them by considering their correlations may benefit the prediction performance so as to reduce the required bitrate. In this study, the tabu search algorithm is employed to rearrange codewords by fully exploiting their neighboring correlations, yielding a moepressible rearranged indices. By combining more highly-correlated indices of a to-be-predicted index into prediction, the improved linear regression method is then applied to achieve a sharper prediction-error histogram and less required additional information. After prediction, an adaptive run-length encoding method is presented to encode prediction errors, thereby eliminating unnecessary indicators. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively reduces the bitrate of the compressed image while providing a comparable hiding capacity. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.

The thermal degradation of various vinyl polyperoxides (poly(styrene peroxide) [PSP], poly(methyl methacrylate peroxide) [PMMAP], poly(a-methyl styrene peroxide) [PAMSP]) and their binary copolyperoxides (PSP-PAMSP [SA], PSP-PMMAP [SM], PAMSP-PMMAP [AM]) were studied in a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). The thermal stability of the polyperoxides is in the order of PMMAP>SM>AM>SA>PSP>PAMSP. The addition of PAMSP to PSP showed a synergistic effect with higher thermal stability of the copolymer while the addition of PAMSP or PSP to PMMAP did not affect the thermal degradation of the copolymers. A method based on regression was proposed to determine the degradation parameters. The activation energies of degradation for the homopolyperoxides and copolyperoxides were determined by various methods and found in agreement with each other. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

We have performed a statistical evaluation of more than 10 000 experimental strength values of test pieces from a serial production of alumina products where in each production series 12 samples were broken. The Weibull parameters were obtained by three different methods: linearregression, maximum-likelihood and moments' method. The methods give different values of parameters even for this large number of data, but all the correlation coefficients are high and similar. Evaluating Weibull parameters for each testing group gives expected systematically different values of particular Weibull modulus as compared to the whole population of collected data. However, when the order of experimental data is mixed, the average Weibull modulus is lower than that corresponding to time ordered data. This difference can be served as an indication for variation of products' quality from series to series. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This work presents a step toward bridging the gap between flight dynamics simulation of ram-air parachutes and high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics. Today's parachute design codes mainly rely on the empirical or semi-empirical methods generated from wind tunnel experiments and drop tests. The outcome of this study will hopefully help to reduce the cost of experiments and drop testing in the design of future canopies and to better understand the aerodynamic characteristics of these geometries. In this work, the parachute geometries were modeled as rigid rectangular wings with an aspect ratio of two and zero anhedral angle. The wings have seven opening cells and the trailing edge is deflected or not deflected. To validate computational methods, the aerodynamic predictions of similar wings, but with closed and round inlets, are compared with experimental data available from the Subsonic Wind Tunnel at United States Air Force Academy. Total lift and drag force coefficients were measured at a Reynolds number of 1.4 million. The results show that computational predictions of fine (closed-inlet) grids match the experimental data very well up to the stall angle. Both experiments and simulations show that closed wings have sharp stalling characteristics. The aerodynamics of closed wings up to stall can be approximated by linear functions and their derivatives. The closed wings show a negative static stability with respect to changes in the angle of attack. The open wings, on other hand, have positive static stability in the longitudinal and lateral directions. The open wings exhibit highly nonlinear unsteady aerodynamic characteristics;they also stall earlier and have higher drag values than the closed wings. The aerodynamic derivatives of open and closed wings were estimated using a linear regression method and training data simulated in small-amplitude oscillations in pitch, yaw, and roll directions. While the open wings have large oscillations in aerodynamic coeffic

This paper puts forward a measurement method of alcohol content in the mixture of water and alcohol based on near-infrared spectroscopy and segmentation regression model. The wavelengths, which are 1580, 2081 and 2309 nm, are picked out as three characteristic absorption wavelengths of alcohol, whereas 1206, 1456 and 1936 nm are picked out as three characteristic absorption wavelengths of water. The characteristic absorbance has a linear relationship to the alcohol concentration in the sample according to the principle of Lambert. Multiple linearregression equations 1 and 2 are built respectively based on the characteristic absorbance of alcohol and water, and the alcohol concentration is calculated using these two equations. However, the representative characteristic of overtone and combination absorption will change as the concentration of composing component changes so that the measuring effects of different regression equations, which are built by characteristic absorption values of different component, are different in the measurement of different concentration samples. In order to improve the prediction accuracy, this paper adopts the segmentation regression model equation to calculate the alcohol concentration in the sample, ie, we use equation 2 to calculate the alcohol concentration for the low alcohol content samples and use equation 1 to calculate the alcohol concentration for the samples of alcohol concentration between 50% and 70%;on the other hand, we use the mean calculation of equations 1 and 2 as prediction for the high alcohol concentration samples. The adoption of the regression model equation can reduce the mean prediction error for the samples in different alcohol concentrations without increasing the complexity of the equation. Nevertheless, we need to obtain the approximate value of alcohol concentration first in order to determine the distribution range of alcohol concentration.

Sensitivity analysis plays an important role in model development, calibration, uncertainty analysis, scenario analysis, and, hence, decision making. With the availability of different sensitivity analysis techniques, selecting an appropriate technique, monitoring the convergence and estimating the uncertainty of the sensitivity indices are very crucial for environmental modelling, especially for distributed models due to their high non-linearity, non-monotonicity, highly correlated parameters, and intensive computational requirements. It would be useful to identify whether some techniques outperform others with respect to computational requirements, reliability, and other criteria. This paper proposes two methods to monitor the convergence and estimate the uncertainty of sensitivity analysis techniques. One is based on the central limit theorem and the other on the bootstrap technique. These two methods are implemented to assess five different sensitivity analysis techniques applied to an environmental model. These techniques are: the Sobol' method, the Morris method, linearregression (LR), Regionalized Sensitivity Analysis (RSA), and non-parametric smoothing. The results show that: (i) the Sobol' method is very robust in quantifying sensitivities and ranking parameters despite a large number of model evaluations;(ii) the Morris method is efficient to rank out unimportant parameters at a medium cost;(iii) the non-parametric smoothing is reliable and robust in quantifying the main effects and low-order interactions while requiring a small number of model evaluations;finally (iv) the other two techniques, that is, LR and RSA, should be used with care.
