Design of Large Connectors of Overhead Power Lines by M. A. Korotkevich, N. V. Prokofieva

“…The article presents the results of the calculation of wire and cable sag of large spans of power transmission line of 500 m or more length using both the traditional theory of the catenary line and the theory of equal resistance, when the cross-sectional area of a wire or cable, proportional to their tension, is considered variable in the span length, which provides the same probability of breaking them at any point of the span. …”

Enhancing imputation accuracy for catch-all missing data mechanisms with DFBETAS and leverage by Fares Qeadan, William A. Barbeau

“…We validate the proposed approach through Monte Carlo simulations with data generating mechanisms based on probability distributions. The results show that incorporating DFBETAS and Leverage significantly improves the accuracy of imputations, optimizes the balance between its sensitivity and specificity reduces bias, and enhances confidence interval coverage of imputed estimates, especially as the strength of the catch-all mechanism increases. …”

Network Coded Wireless Cooperative Multicast with Minimum Transmission Cost by Xiumin Wang, Jin Wang, Shukui Zhang

“…Instead of downloading all the data from the source node, we allow the destination nodes themselves to locally exchange the packets, as local communication within a cluster achieves higher packet reception probability with less transmission cost. However, when shall we stop the transmission from the source node? …”

Determinants of Shea Nut Marketing Arrangements in Northern Uganda. by Akatwetaba, Deborah, Okello Daniel, Micheal, Kasharu, Apollo, Egeru, Anthony, Mugonola, Basil

“…A formal contract was the least common marketing arrangement among all the actors. The probability of choosing each marketing arrangement was influenced by several factors including experience, education, income level, access to extension, training, access to credit, awareness of innovations in the shea value chain, awareness of value addition supporting institutions, main occupation (farming), distance to the market, access to information and means of transport used (head portage). …”
