5674. Criteria for optimal design of small-sample experiments with correlated observations
- Creator:

- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- optimal design, correlated observations, random field, spatial statistics, and information matrix
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- We consider observations of a random process (or a random field), which is modeled by a nonlinear regression with a parametrized mean (or trend) and a parametrized covariance function. Optimality criteria for parameter estimation are to be based here on the mean square errors (MSE) of estimators. We mention briefly expressions obtained for very small samples via probability densities of estimators. Then we show that an approximation of MSE via Fisher information matrix is possible, even for small or moderate samples, when the errors of observations are normal and small. Finally, we summarize some properties of optimality criteria known for the noncorrelated case, which can be transferred to the correlated case, in particular a recently published concept of universal optimality.

5675. Criteria for selecting fluorescent dye tracers for soil hydrological applications using Uranine as an example
- Creator:

- Type:

- Subject:
- staining, preferential flow paths visualization, molar extinction coefficient, tracer concentration quantification, and vadose zone hydrology
- Language:
- Slovak
- Description:
- Calibrating and verifying 2-D and 3-D vadose zone flow and transport models requires detailed information on water and solute redistribution. Among the different water flow and mass transfer determination methods, staining tracers have the best spatial resolution allowing visualization and quantification of fluid flow including preferential flow paths. Staining techniques have been used successfully for several decades; however, the hydrological community is still searching for an “ideal” vadose zone tracer regarding flow path visualization. To date, most research using staining dyes is carried out with Brilliant Blue FCF. Fluorescent dyes such as Uranine, however, have significant advantages over nonfluorescents which makes them a promising alternative. This paper presents the first analysis of key properties any fluorescent substance must possess to qualify as a staining fluorescent tracer in vadose zone hydrological applications. First, we summarize the main physico-chemical properties of Uranine and evaluate its staining tracer potential with conventional suitability indicators and visibility testing in a soil profile. Based on numerical analysis using the theory of fluorescence, we show that a low molar absorption coefficient is a crucial parameter to quantify concentration accurately. In addition, excitation of a tracer on wavelengths different from the maximum excitation wavelength can extend the linear range of the concentration-fluorescence relationship significantly. Finally, we develop criteria for evaluating the suitability of any potential fluorescent soil staining compound for soil hydrological applications: 1) high quantum yield, 2) low molar absorption coefficient, 3) fluorescence independent of temperature, 4) low photodecomposition rates, and 5) fluorescence stable across a wide range of pH values.

5678. Critical case of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with inverse-square potentials on bounded domains
- Creator:
- Suzuki, Toshiyuki
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- energy method, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, inverse-square potential, and Hardy-Poincaré inequality
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS)a with strongly singular potential a|x| −2 on a bounded domain Ω are considered. If Ω = R N and a > −(N − 2)2 /4, then the global existence of weak solutions is confirmed by applying the energy methods established by N. Okazawa, T. Suzuki, T. Yokota (2012). Here a = −(N − 2)2 /4 is excluded because D(P 1/2 a(N) ) is not equal to H 1 (R N ), where Pa(N) := −∆ − (N − 2)2 /(4|x| 2 ) is nonnegative and selfadjoint in L 2 (R N ). On the other hand, if Ω is a smooth and bounded domain with 0 ∈ Ω, the Hardy-Poincaré inequality is proved in J. L. Vazquez, E. Zuazua (2000). Hence we can see that H 1 0 (Ω) ⊂ D(P 1/2 a(N) ) ⊂ H s (Ω) (s < 1). Therefore we can construct global weak solutions to (NLS)a on Ω by the energy methods.

5679. Critical conditions of pressurized pipes
- Creator:
- Gajdoš, Ľubomír and Šperl, Martin
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- pressurized pipe, J-integral, C factor, and critical conditions
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- A single fracture-mechanics based method is described for assessing a part-through crack in the wall of a pipe subjected to internal pressure of liquid and/or gas. The method utilizes simple approximate expressions for determining the fracture parameters K, J, and employs these parameters to determine critical dimensions of crack on the basis of equality between the J-integral and the J-based fracture toughness of the pipe steel. The crack tip constraint is accounted by the so-called plastic constraint factor C, by which the uniaxial yield stress in the J. integral equation is multiplied. The results of the prediction of the fracture condition are verified by burst tests on test pipes. and Obsahuje seznam literatury

- Description:
- Goldspur apple (Malus pumila cv. Goldspur) is one of the main fruit trees planted in semiarid loess hilly areas. The photosynthetic efficiency in leaves of eight-year-old trees were studied under different soil water conditions with a Li-6400 portable photosynthesis system and a Li-Cor1600 portable steady state porometer in order to explore the effects of soil water stress on photosynthesis and the suitable soil water content (SWC) for water-saving irrigation of apple orchards. The results showed that the leaf net photosynthetic rate (P N), transpiration rate (E), water-use efficiency (WUE), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), and stomatal limiting value (Ls) displayed different threshold responses to soil water variation. When SWC was within a range of about 60%-86% of field capacity (FC), PN and E were maintained in a relative steady state. At an elevated level but below 60% of FC, both PN and E decreased evidently with decreasing soil moisture. The SWC needed to support WUE in a relatively steady state and at a high level was in the range of about 50%-71% of FC. When SWC was less than 48% of FC, g s and Ls declined with decreasing soil moisture, while Ci increased rapidly. Based on the analysis of the stomatal limitation of photosynthesis using two criteria (Ci and Ls) suggested by Farquhar and Sharkey, it was implied that the predominant cause of restricting PN had changed from stomatal limitation to nonstomatal one under severe water stress. In terms of water-saving irrigation for enhancing water-use efficiency, it was concluded that in semiarid loess hilly areas, the suitable range of SWC for water-saving irrigation in goldspur apple orchards is in the range of about 50%-71% of FC, and the most severe degree of soil water stress tolerated for photosynthesis is about 48% of FC. and S.
