A Recognition Method of Athletes’ Mental State in Sports Training Based on Support Vector Machine Model by Yu Li

“…For the opponent, by analyzing the opponent’s psychological state during exercise, the game strategy can be adjusted in real time in a targeted manner, and the probability of winning the game can be provided. Based on this background, this paper proposes to use support vector machine (SVM) to identify the mental state of athletes during exercise. …”

Modeling The Fate of Sumatran Elephants in Bukit Tigapuluh Indonesia: Research Needs & Implications for Population Management by Alexander Markus Moßbrucker, Muhammad Ali Imron, Satyawan Pudyatmoko, Peter-Hinrich Pratje, Sumardi Sumardi

“…This study applies PVA to a local population of Sumatran elephants roaming the Bukit Tigapuluh landscape, Sumatra, with the main goal to explore the impact of pre-selected conservation measures and population scenarios on both population growth rate and extinction probability. Sensitivity testing revealed considerable parameter uncertainties that should be addressed by targeted research projects in order to improve the predictive power of the baseline population model. …”

A Bounded Lifetime Distribution Specified by a Trigonometric Function: Properties, Regression Model, and Applications by Simon A. Ogumeyo, Festus C. Opone, Abdul Ghaniyyu Abubakari, Jacob C. Ehiwario

“…Some statistical properties of the new bounded distribution, including quantile function, ordinary moments, incomplete moments, moment-generating functions, inequality measures, Rényi entropy, and probability weighted moments are derived. Seven methods of parameter estimation, including maximum likelihood, ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, moment product spacing, Anderson–Darling, and Cramér–von Mises estimators are used to estimate the parameters of the new distribution. …”

Prediction of Long-Term Prestress Loss and Crack Resistance Analysis of Corroded Prestressed Concrete Box-Girder Bridges by Yiming Yang, Huang Tang, Yu Mao, Xinzhong Wang

“…In this paper, a novel prediction model of long-term prestress loss considering the coupling effect of shrinkage and creep of concrete, prestressing steel relaxation, and presence of nonprestressing steel as well as the corrosion of prestressing and nonprestressing steel is proposed. Then, the probability analysis approach of long-term prestress loss considering the uncertainties of calculation parameters and models is introduced. …”

Assessment of Meteorological Drought in Korea under Climate Change by Jaewon Kwak, Soojun Kim, Jaewon Jung, Vijay P. Singh, Dong Ryul Lee, Hung Soo Kim

“…For the spatial characterization of drought, the standardized precipitation index (SPI) is calculated from the 45 observatories in Korea and the spatial distribution is also estimated based on the joint probability analysis using the copula method. To analyze the effect of climate change, spatial distribution of drought in the future is analyzed using the SPI time series calculated from Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios and HADGEM3-RA regional climate model. …”
