Probabilistic assessment of stability of underground rock caverns and cavern shape optimization
(2011)The global stability of underground rock cavern excavated in a Mohr-Coulomb material is investigated by means of Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC) in this paper. The following stochastic variables are considered: the ... -
Probabilistic Estimation of Aggregated Power Capacity of EVs for Vehicle-to-Grid Application
(2014)Electric Vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising solution to reduce oil dependency and environmental impacts from the transportation segment. They can also be used as distributed energy resources providing ancillary ... -
Probabilistic estimation of plug-in electric vehicles charging load profile
(2015)Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are widely considered as a sustainable mode of transport by countries worldwide due to high efficiency and low or zero carbon emissions. However, PEVs will add significant additional load ... -
Probabilistic evaluation of ground-support interaction for deep rock excavation using artificial neural network and uniform design
(2012)An efficient approach is proposed in this paper for probabilistic ground-support interaction analysis of deep rock excavation using the artificial neural network (ANN) and uniform design. The deterministic model is based ... -
Probabilistic Key Predistribution in Mobile Networks Resilient to Node-Capture Attacks
(2017)We present a comprehensive analysis on connectivity and resilience of secure sensor networks under the widely studied q-composite key predistribution scheme. For network connectivity, which ensures that any two sensors can ... -
A probabilistic memetic framework
(2009)Memetic algorithms (MAs) represent one of the recent growing areas in evolutionary algorithm (EA) research. The term MAs is now widely used as a synergy of ... -
Probabilistic reasoning for unique role recognition based on the fusion of semantic-interaction and spatio-temporal features
(2019)This paper deals with the problem of recognizing the unique role in dynamic environments. Different from social roles, the unique role refers to those who are unusual in their carrying items or movements in the scene. In ... -
Probabilistic response evaluation for RC flexural members subjected to blast loadings
(2006)The probabilistic responses of the maximum displacement and displacement ductility factor for a reinforced concrete (RC) flexural member against potential blast loadings are evaluated through a nonlinear ... -
Probabilistic seismic loss estimation by stochastic simulation algorithms
(2013)Prior estimation of losses in a structure due to future uncertain earthquakes, especially those which can lead to disastrous consequences, is essential to reduce potential losses and assist recovery. In this paper, we are ... -
Probabilistic solving of NP-hard problems with bistable nonlinear optical networks
(2019)We study theoretically a lattice of locally bistable driven-dissipative nonlinear cavities. The system is found to resemble the classical Ising model and enables its effective simulation. First, we benchmark the performance ... -
Probabilistic Trajectory Estimation based Leader Following for Multi-Robot Systems
(2016)The paper is concerned with the multi-robot leader-following problem in the presence of frequent dropouts in vision detection. In many scenarios, for instance a structured environment, it is inevitable to experience outage ... -
Probabilistic-based scheduling for runtime goal sequence of agents
(2012)Goal selection is very important in agent research. Many existing solutions are based on the static plans or predefined goal structures. This paper studies the problem and proposes a novel approach to scheduling goal ... -
Probability distribution of bed particle instability
(2003)The probability distribution of the instability of bed particles is essential for application of statistical approaches to describe bedload transport. The instability generally depends on the near-bed flow conditions and ... -
Probing carboxylic acid groups in replaced and mixed self-assembled monolayers by individual ionized dendrimer molecules : an atomic force microscopy study
(2002)Polyphenylene dendrimer molecules, G2Td(COOH)16, were ionized (G2 ions) and then adsorbed on a carboxylic acid (COOH) group terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a Au substrate through the linkage with Cu2+ ions. ... -
