Detecting and understanding DTF is very important under various DIF conditions. In this study, the performance of DTF, DRF, SIBTEST, and CSIBTEST approaches in detecting DIF effects was investigated using a simulation study and a real dataset. It was...
The structural changes occurring in tialite due to the formation of magnesium-titanate–aluminum-titanate solid solutions were determined. For this purpose, a DFT simulation of the structural changes was performed. The simulation proposed a numb...
Global climate change is allowing the invasion of insect pests into new areas without natural competitors and/or predators. The dipteran Drosophila suzukii has invaded both the Americas and Europe, becoming a serious problem for fruit crops. Control...
A precise rainfall-runoff prediction is crucial for hydrology and the management of water resources. Rainfall-runoff prediction is a nonlinear method influenced by simulation model inputs. Previously employed methods have some limitations in predicti...
Drought–flood abrupt alternation (DFAA) events have emerged as a critical type of compound climate extreme under ongoing climate change, posing increasing risks to water resources and ecosystems in Southwest China. This study investigated the s...
Differential item functioning (DIF) is a critical step in providing evidence to support a scoring inference in building a validity argument for a psychological or educational assessment. Effect sizes can assist in understanding the accumulation of DI...
In the present scenario, the integration of distributed generation (DG) sources into the grid is inevitably required for meeting demand and ameliorating the power quality. High integration levels can form unintentional islands which need to be recogn...
With the increasing power of computation systems, theoretical calculations provide a means for quick determination of material properties, laying out a research plan, and lowering material development costs. One of the most common is Density Function...
The recent advent of charging infrastructure on an Electric Vehicles (EVs) poses a severe problem with effect on the power grid in terms of harmonic distortion, mostly caused by the nonlinear loads on the electric power produced by charging stations,...
This study evaluates operational optical to near-infrared (NIR) band (400–1050 nm) atmospheric transmittance simulation at the Ali-CPT site (5250 m above sea level). Monthly mean profiles from a 20-year Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Res...
Using a solar radiometer is an effective approach for improving the remote sensing of solar irradiance distribution and atmospheric composition. Long-term development of a solar scanning radiometer enables frequent and reliable measurement of atmosph...
Co-firing large-sized straw biomass in pulverized coal boilers is a potential pathway for carbon emission reduction in China’s thermal power plants. However, experimental data on large-sized straw combustion under pulverized coal boiler combust...
