Modelling uncertainty of cost and time in infrastructure projects by Moghayedi, Alireza

“…Data obtained from both qualitative and quantitative approaches were analysed using various techniques. The probability distribution function of cost and time were modelled using the lognormal and triangular probability distributions; while Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), Copula analysis technique, the Markov processes, and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) analytical technique were used in modelling the variability of the cost and time activity, correlation between costs, time and cost-time activities, and to model the occurrence of disruptive events, so that the impact size of disruptive events on the cost and time of activities respectively, can be intelligently assessed. …”

Influence of catalyst ink mixing procedures on catalyst layer properties and in-situ PEMFC performance by Jacobs, Clayton Jeffrey

“…The results suggest that high energy mixing is required for effective distribution of catalyst layer components, an even catalyst layer topography and a highly functional ionomer network which consequently, enhances performance. …”

Integrated Circuits Parasitic Capacitance Extraction Using Machine Learning and its Application to Layout Optimization by Saleh, Mohamed Saleh Abouelyazid

“…The developed models mitigate the problems of the pre-characterized library approach, where each compact model is designed to extract parasitic capacitances of cross-sections of arbitrary distributed metal polygons that belong to a specific set of metal layers (i.e., layer combination) efficiently. …”

Colonic transit in subjects with spinal cord injuries by Freedman, Patricia Noel

“…Not only do they lose mobility but they also have changes in bowel continence caused by loss of voluntary motor and sensory function and damage to the visceral nerve supply. The maintenance and management of bowel function causes major morbidity for subjects with SCI. …”
