Sampling scale sensitivities in surface ocean pCO2 reconstructions in the Southern Ocean by Djeutchouang, Laique Merlin

“…The two sampling scales include (1) the seasonal cycle of the meridional gradients and (2) the intra-seasonal variability. Based on the impacts of these two sampling scales on the RMSE scores and biases, it wasfound that resolving the seasonal cycle of the meridional gradient is the first-order requirement while resolving the intra-seasonal variability is the second. …”

Development of a Kinetic Model for Low Temperature Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis by Davies, Imaad

“…The good fit to data is quantified by the small error in the estimated rate constants, particularly for CO conversions up to approximately 30%. Higher variability in the estimated rate constants was obtained for higher CO conversions. …”

Biogenic acid corrosion of sewer concretes with different binders: in-situ and model studies, with advancement of the life factor prediction method by Bakera, Alice Titus

“…However, these techniques are expensive and variably effective, and some may lead to a loss of structural integrity and performance during the long service life of more than 50 years, due to a lack of long-term performance testing before they are introduced into the market. …”

Enhancement of the Fynbos Leaf Optical Recognition Application (FLORA-E) by Makumborenga, Roy

“…The methods utilised in FLORA-A to -D are ineffective when attempting to classify irregular structured objects with high variability, such as stems and leafy stems. A redesign of the classification algorithms in the latest version, FLORA-E, was therefore necessary to cater for irregular fynbos stems. …”
