Insurance loss data are usually in the form of left-truncation and right-censoring due to deductibles and policy limits, respectively. This paper investigates the model uncertainty and selection procedure when various parametric models are constructed to accommodate such left-truncated and...

Ventilation Corridor is an important technique to mitigate local climate problems. Evaluating the benefits of ventilation corridors has gradually become the standard of its construction in cities. Previous studies have often analyzed the volume of ventilation from the perspective of geometric...

The effective capture and deposition of radioactive iodine in the spent fuel reprocessing process is of great importance for nuclear safety and environmental protection. 3D fiber felt with structural diversity and tunability is applied as an efficient adsorbent with easy separation for iodine...

When constructing parametric models to predict the cost of future claims, several important details have to be taken into account: (i) models should be designed to accommodate deductibles, policy limits, and coinsurance factors, (ii) parameters should be estimated robustly to control the...

The main aim of current study is to evaluate the anti-penetration deformation behavior of an ultra-high strength low alloy armor steel (commercial name: XF1700) at strain rates 0.001/s, 0.1/s (quasi-static), 922/s, 5962/s, 6000/s (dynamic) and temperatures 298K, 373K(0.2Tm), 473K(0.26Tm) and...
