TIME SERIES IMPUTATION USING VAR-IM (CASE STUDY: WEATHER DATA IN METEOROLOGICAL STATION OF CITEKO) by Muhammad Edy Rizal, Aji H Wigena, Farit M Afendi

“…Univariate imputation methods are defined as imputation methods that only use the information of the target variable to estimate missing values. While univariate imputation methods are convenient and flexible since no other variable is required, multivariate imputation methods can potentially improve imputation accuracy given that the other variables are relevant to the target variable. …”

Implicit Vector Integral Equations Associated with Discontinuous Operators by Paolo Cubiotti, Jen-Chih Yao

“…We prove an existence result for solutions u∈Ls(I, Rn), where the continuity of f with respect to the second variable is not assumed. More precisely, f is assumed to be a.e. equal (with respect to second variable) to a function f*:I×J→R which is almost everywhere continuous, where the involved null-measure sets should have a suitable geometry. …”

基于3R伪刚体模型的柔顺杆动力学建模及分析 by 田亚平, 康军凤

“…The 3R pseudo-rigid-body model of compliant mechanism is introduced.The kinetic energy equation and deformation energy equation of compliant bar is deduced by Matlab software symbolic operation.The dynamics model of the compliant bar under the action of end load by applying Lagrange equation.The centripetal force factor,the moment of inertia factor,and the Carioles force factor are obtained through characteristic radius factor and stiffness factor substituted into equations group,and mutual coupling effect of the angle variable are analyzed.The dynamic response curves and its configuration charts are obtained through the numerical solution of two order variable coefficient linear differential equations.It shows that the pseudo-rigid-body amplitude from 1-bar to 3-bar increases gradually and rod coupling reduces.The result shows that the dynamics equations of 3R pseudo-rigid body model are more practical and versatile for simulating the dynamics characteristics of compliant bar than 2R pseudo-rigid body model.…”
