Development Of Hiv Model And Its Simulation, D. K. Chaturvedi, Pritam Singh, S. K. Gaur, D. S. Mishra
Development Of Hiv Model And Its Simulation, D. K. Chaturvedi, Pritam Singh, S. K. Gaur, D. S. Mishra
D. K. Chaturvedi Dr.
The article discusses model developmetn for HIV infected population using the System Dynamics technique. The technique has an advantage over conventional modeling technique as it is dependent more on causal relationships that involve qualitative and quantitative variables to model socioeconomic problems of a complex nature. The model has been simulated and the results haven been compared witht he available data.

Resilient Modulus Of Kentucky Soils, Tommy C. Hopkins, Tony L. Beckham, Charlie Sun, Bixian Ni
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
In recent years, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has recommended the use of resilient modulus for characterizing highway materials for pavement design. This recommendation evolved as of a result of a trend in pavement design of using mechanistic models, which are based on the theory of elasticity (layered elastic analysis) or linear and non-linear, finite elements (and finite difference methods), or a combination of both of those theoretical approaches. Although much progress has been made in recent years in developing mathematical, mechanistic pavement design models, results obtained from those models are only as good as the …

Does The Model Matter For Greg Estimation? A Business Survey Example, Dan Hedlin, Hannah Falvey, Raymond Chambers, Phillip Kokic
Does The Model Matter For Greg Estimation? A Business Survey Example, Dan Hedlin, Hannah Falvey, Raymond Chambers, Phillip Kokic
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Although asymptotically design-unbiased, GREG estimators may produce bad estimates. The article examines the behaviour of GREG estimators when the underlying models are misspecified. It shows how an efficient GREG estimator was found for a business survey that posed some problems. The work involved data exploration in several steps, combined with analyses of g-weights, residuals and standard regression diagnostics. We discuss two diagnostics for whether a GREG estimate is reasonable or not. A common justification for the use of GREG estimators is that, being asymptotically design unbiased, they are relatively robust to model choice. However, we show that the property of …
Wiener Model Identification And Predictive Control For Dual Composition Control Of A Distillation Column, H H J Bloemen, C T. Chou, T J J Van Den Boom, V Verdult, M Verhaegen, T C. Backx
Wiener Model Identification And Predictive Control For Dual Composition Control Of A Distillation Column, H H J Bloemen, C T. Chou, T J J Van Den Boom, V Verdult, M Verhaegen, T C. Backx
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
The benefits of using the Wiener model based identification and control methodology presented in this paper, compared to linear techniques, are demonstrated for dual composition control of a moderate-high purity distillation column simulation model. An identification experiment design is presented which enables one to identify both the low and high gain directions of the distillation column, properties which are important for control and hard to identify in a conventional identification experiment setup as is demonstrated in the paper. Data from the proposed experiment design is used for indirect closed-loop identification of both a linear and a Wiener model, which shows …
