Dynamic study of factors impacting on combat power
… represent the condition of an entity into the power function is addressed. The methods described provide a means of acquiring this mapping function by the use of a Degraded Power Function (DPF). The DPF provides a basis for estimating the future state of an entity based on the state (condition) …

Normal Fault Trace-Length Scaling in a Tectonic Transition Zone in Southern Sedna Planitia, Venus
… number verses length plot (CNL) and fit with a power function, exponential function, and logarithmic function to determine which function best describes the trace-length distribution.A power function is the best fit with a scaling exponent of 1.73. This result is compared to previous studies of …

Characterizing Engineered Skeletal Muscle Rings as Actuators Using Strain Sensing Methods
… distance and force is related by a negative power function.

Examining the accuracy of the normal approximation to the poisson random variable
… Generally, the error decays much like a power function of the parameter; therefore, curve fitting is used to bound the error. Finally, variations on the approximation are examined; these variations are often more accurate than the standard approximation.</p>

Energy balance of a laboratory population of Ostrea Edulis (L)
… The results show that filtration rate is a power function of body size and is dependent on food concentration. The relationship between food concentration and filtration rate closely approximated a theoretical model proposed for copepods, which was therefore adapted to suit bivalves. …

Buildup/Washoff Model for Dissolved Iron in Stormwater Runoff
… for 14 storm events. The model used a linear function of antecedent dry time for the buildup model. The rating curve assumption was selected to estimate the pollutant transport capacity. In a further step the two were combined. The derived Buildup/Washoff model was calibrated for the collected …

Navy SEAL Prosthetic Hand
… upper extremity amputees actively choosing body powered devices. Myoelectric hands utilize a small electric pulse generated in muscles when flexing as a signal to the hand to close. Finger flexion in these devices is controlled by electromechanical servos, requiring no strength input from the …

Nonlinear Approaches to Predicting Diameter of the Largest Limb at Breast Height in Young, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco) Plantations Growing in the Pacific Northwest
… in the Pacific Northwest using a combined power exponential function. The first method examined admitting predictor variables as additional factors in the power function portion and linear terms in the exponential portion. The second method used DBH as the base factor and estimated the …

Bridging the gap : comparative analysis of a gap filling X-band radar QPE algorithms and their implications for nowcasting and hydrological modeling
… radar QPE. This method dynamically adjusts power function coefficients based on distance and significantly reduced the error compared to other advanced methodologies. When applied to the SWAT hydrological model in the Hinkson Creek Catchment, this algorithm outperformed both Multi-Radar …

The Effect of Submarine Canyon Width and Stratification on Coastal Circulation and Across Shelf Exchange
… within the canyon has a relationship of power function which has different parameters before and after the adjustment. The geometric effect of a narrow canyon is very strong based on the onshore transport per unit width and tracer moving speed within the canyon, even though wider canyons …

Investigation of the interface shearing resistance of steel and concrete on different rocks for renewable energy gravity foundation applications
… shearing behaviour. A framework described by a power function has been developed to estimate the shearing resistance of rock on steel and rock on concrete interfaces, incorporating the effect of these counterface material properties.

Shape-Constrained Inference for Concave-Transformed Densities and their Modes
We consider inference about functions estimated via shape constraints based on concavity. We consider log-concave densities and other “concave-transformed” densities on the real line, where a concave-transformed class is one given by applying a transformation (e.g. the logarithm or a power …

Sonoelastography of the Supraspinatus Tendon: Correlation Analysis with T2* Mapping of the Supraspinatus Tendon on 3 Tesla MRI
… analyses were performed to find the best functions to fit each parameter. Results: The mean strain ratio S/D was 0.65 ± 0.33 on sonoelastography. T2*bulk and T2*h in the supraspinatus tendons were 21.8 ± 5.4 and 6.3 ± 3.4, respectively. The strain ratio S/D and T2*bulk in the supraspinatus …
