Characterization and Modelling of Multiscale Natural Fractures in Shale Reservoirs: A Case Study from a Block in the Southern Sichuan Basin by Shaohua Gai, Ailin Jia, Yunsheng Wei, Ruohan Liu

“…The fracture aperture, dip, and azimuth are three main parameters, which are recognized by the loggings and cores. Stochastic modelling is applied to factures. We find that faults identified by the ant tracking result are excellent in line with Macroscale faults interpreted directly from seismic data. …”

Durable resistance or efficient disease control? Adult Plant Resistance (APR) at the heart of the dilemma by Rimbaud, Loup, Papaïx, Julien, Rey, Jean-François, Moury, Benoît, Barrett, Luke G., Thrall, Peter H.

“…Using the demogenetic, spatially explicit, temporal, stochastic model landsepi, this study is a first attempt to investigate how resistance efficiency, age at the time of resistance activation and target pathogenicity trait jointly impact resistance durability and disease control at the landscape scale. …”

Increasing extreme hourly precipitation risk for New York City after Hurricane Ida by Carolien Mossel, Spencer A. Hill, Nihar R. Samal, James F. Booth, Naresh Devineni

“…We contextualize this storm’s record-breaking hourly intensity within the historical record as well as project its risk in the near- to medium-term future using nonstationary stochastic models. These models are conditioned on average temperature (T avg ) and cooling degree day (CDD) projections from three climate models as a covariate, each with a SSP 126 and SSP 370 scenario. …”

Genetic Rescue of the Dinaric Lynx Population: Insights for Conservation From Genetic Monitoring and Individual‐Based Modelling by Elena Pazhenkova, Matej Bartol, Barbara Boljte, Urša Fležar, Andrea Gazzola, Tomislav Gomerčić, Marjeta Konec, Ivan Kos, Miha Krofel, Jakub Kubala, Ladislav Paule, Mihai Pop, Hubert Potočnik, Barbara Promberger, Robin Rigg, Teodora Sin, Magda Sindičić, Vedran Slijepčević, Astrid Vik Stronen, Ira Topličanec, Tomaž Skrbinšek

“…We conducted comprehensive genetic monitoring in this area, gathering 588 non‐invasive and tissue samples, which were used for individual identification and estimation of population genetic parameters. We used stochastic modelling to assess the long‐term viability of the Dinaric lynx population post‐translocation and formulate effective conservation strategies. …”

A First Application of the Backward Technique in Social Sciences: Exploring Demographic Noise in a Model with Three Personality Types by Roberto Macrelli, Margherita Carletti, Vincenzo Fano

“…When the populations are small, only space-discrete stochastic models are capable of describing demographic noise; when the populations are large, these discrete models converge to continuous models described by stochastic ordinary differential systems, maintaining the essence of intrinsic noise. …”

A new hybrid distance and similarity based scenario reduction approach for stochastic economic operation of microgrid by Gaurav Gangil, Amit Saraswat, Sunil Kumar Goyal

“…This paper attempts to develop a multi-time period stochastic optimization model for economic operations of a typical microgrid by employing a scenario-based analysis approach to exploit various uncertainties associated with variable renewable energy (VRE) generations, electricity prices, and load demand. This stochastic model is aimed at generating the optimum schedules for various dispatchable generating resources such as micro-turbines, fuel cells, utility grid, energy storage devices as per the availability of the various VRE resources to meet the uncertain demand for a day-to-day microgrid operation. …”
