An Electrical Parameter Characterizing Solute Heterogeneity: The Mixing Factor M by Alejandro Fernandez Visentini, Niklas Linde

“…We generalize the high‐salinity asymptotic limit of electrical conduction in porous media at the continuous (e.g., Darcy) scale, by introducing a new petrophysical parameter, the mixing factor M, which accounts for the effect of fluid conductivity heterogeneity on the equivalent electrical conductivity tensor; it is expressed in terms of the volume‐average of the product of mean‐removed fluid conductivity and electric fields. …”

Analytical Analysis of Infinite Heterogeneous Slope Stability considering Suction Influence by Kang Liu, Jian Yue, Fan Yang

“…The analysed results show that the suction has influences on the distribution of the FOS for both homogeneous slopes and heterogeneous slopes. In addition, the correlation coefficient between the strength parameters and the autocorrelation length of the strength parameters affects the mean and standard deviation of FOS for homogeneous slopes and the probability of failure for heterogeneous slopes.…”

Do Expressway Interchanges Increase Crash Injury Severities? Insights Using Temporal Instability and Unobserved Heterogeneity by Fang Wang, Chenzhu Wang, Said M. Easa, Siqi Lian, Fei Chen, Jianchuan Cheng

“…Additionally, the marginal effects of various determinants are calculated to understand their influence across different year periods and crash types. Key variables such as overspeed, single-vehicle, AADT (annual average daily traffic volume), Lsmin, and other crash type indicators are identified as significant random parameters, demonstrating heterogeneity in means and variances. …”

Uncertainty and Stochasticity in Modelling of Microstructure Evolution During Hot Rolling of Steels Uncertainty and Stochasticity in Modelling of Microstructure Evolution During Ho... by D. Szeliga, J. Foryś, J. Kusiak, R. Kuziak, R. Nadolski, M. Pietrzyk, Ł. Rauch

“…Models based on stochastic internal variables meet this requirement. Our stochastic model accounts for the random character of the recrystallization and transfers this randomness into equations describing the evolution of the dislocation populations and the grain size during the hot deformation of steels. …”

Riparian habitat quality and seasonality drives spatiotemporal habitat ecology of sympatric Asian otters in southern Western Ghats by Ankit Moun, Tharmalingam Ramesh, Tharmalingam Ramesh, Riddhika Kalle, Riddhika Kalle

“…Our study shows that rainfall plays a significant role in enhancing the hydrological flow in non-perennial streams and also improves the water quality parameters and the riparian habitat conditions. We found highly variable encounter rates of both species across seasons and habitat quality gradients, however, overall, their mean encounter rates increased with the habitat quality gradient.DiscussionOur findings showed that relating otter sign encounter rates with fine-scale riparian habitat quality was a useful and practical approach to monitor the sensitivity of sympatric semi-aquatic mustelids towards habitat conditions and simultaneously monitor the riparian ecosystem health, across seasons and years. …”
