This study focuses on the application of multi-criteria performance measures based on the concept of equifinality to the calibration of the rainfall-runoff model TOPMODEL in a small deciduous forest catchment. The performance of each parameter set was evaluated by six performance measures, individually, and each set was identified as a behavioral or non-behavioral parameter set by a given behavioral acceptance threshold. Many behavioral parameter sets were scattered throughout the parameter space, and the range of model behavior and the sensitivity for each parameter varied considerably between the different performance measures. Sensitivity was very high in some parameters, and varied depending on the kind of performance measure as well. Compatibilities of behavioral parameter sets between different performance measures also varied, and very few parameter sets were selected to be used in making god predictions for all performance measures. Since different behavioral parameter sets with different likelihood weights were obtained for each performance measure, the decision on which performance measure to be used may be very important to achieve the goal of study. Therefore, one or more suitable performance measures should be selected depending on the environment and the goal of a study, and this may lead to decrease model uncertainty.

The purpose of this study is to develop a method to evaluate solubility parameter interactions of cosmetic ingredients in formulations. This experimentation relates to the fabrication of new multi-layer cleansing oil which can remove make-up products such as lipstick, foundation, mascara, eye shadow, etc., and also can wash away dirt and sebum from the skin just in one stage process. Solubility parameter and specific gravity of various cosmetic ingredients are measured to explain the cleanliness of interface, detergency of make-up cosmetics on the skin surface. The results suggest that it is possible for cosmetic chemists to use solubility parameter of cosmetic materials for fabrication of new formulation of 3-layer cleansing oil.

This paper suggests a control method for an efficient topology/parameter evolution in a bond graph-based GP design framework that automatically synthesizes designs for multi-domain, lumped parameter dynamic systems. We adopt a hierarchical breeding control mechanism with fitness-level-dependent differences to obtain better balancing of topology/parameter search - biased toward topological changes at low fitness levels, and toward parameter changes at high fitness levels. As a testbed for this approach in bond graph synthesis, an eigenvalue assignment problem, which is to find bond graph models exhibiting minimal distance errors from target sets of eigenvalues, was tested and showed improved performance for various sets of eigenvalues.

This study shows that image deblurring problems can be transformed into the multi-parameter Tikhonov type with multiple right hand sides. Also, this paper proposes the extension of the global generalized cross validation to obtain an appropriate choice of the regularization parameters for this problem. The experimental results of using the preconditioned Gl-CGLS algorithm were analyzed.

Discrimination between speech and music is important in many multimedia applications. Previously we proposed a new parameter for speech/music discrimination, the mean of minimum cepstral distances (MMCD), and it outperformed the conventional parameters. One weakness of MMCD is that its performance depends on range of candidate frames to compute the minimum cepstral distance, which requires the optimal selection of the range experimentally. In this paper, to alleviate the problem, we propose a multi-dimensional MMCD parameter which consists of multiple MMCDS with combination of different candidate frame ranges. Experimental results show that the multi-dimensional MMCD parameter yields an error rate reduction of 22.5% compared with the optimally chosen one-dimensional MMCD parameter.

In this paper, we present the parameter identification for inelastic and multi-scale problems. First, the theoretical background of several fundamental methods used in the upscaling process is reviewed. Several key definitions including random field, Bayesian theorem, Polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), and Gauss-Markov-Kalman filter are briefly summarized. An illustrative example is given to assimilate fracture energy in a simple inelastic problem with linear hardening and softening phases. Second, the parameter identification using the Gauss-Markov-Kalman filter is employed for a multi-scale problem to identify bulk and shear moduli and other material properties in a macro-scale with the data from a micro-scale as quantities of interest (QoI). The problem can also be viewed as upscaling homogenization.

The gate bias dependence of kink phenomenon with a large deviation from the resistance circle in Smith chart is observed in the frequency response of $S_{11}$-parameter for large multi-finger RF MOSFETs. For the first time, this bias dependence is analyzed by measuring magnitude and phase of $S_{11}$-parameter, input resistance and input capacitance. As a result, $V_{gs}$ dependent $S_{11}$-parameter is largely changed by the magnitude of input capacitance as well as dominant pole and zero frequencies of input resistance. At $V_{gs}=0V$, the kink phenomenon occurs in the high frequency region because of very small phase difference of $S_{11}$-parameter and high pole frequency of input resistance. However, the kink phenomenon at higher $V_{gs}$ is generated in the low frequency region owing to large phase difference and low pole frequency.

Multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) system has attracted the 4^th generation wireless network as one of core technique for performance enrichment. In this system rate control is a challenging problem and another problem is optimization. Proper scheduling can resolve these problems by deciding which set of user and at which rate the users send their data. This paper proposes a new multi-parameter based scheduling (MPS) for downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system under space-time block coding (STBC) transmissions. Goal of this MPS scheme is to offer improved link level performance in terms of a low average bit error rate (BER), high packet delivery ratio (PDR) with improved resource utilization and service fairness among the user. This scheme allows the set of users to send data based on their channel quality and their demand rates. Simulation compares the MPS performance with other scheduling scheme such as fair scheduling (FS), normalized priority scheduling (NPS) and threshold based fair scheduling (TFS). The results obtained prove that MPS has significant improvement in average BER performance with improved resource utilization and fairness as compared to the other scheduling scheme.

In this study, new multi-axial, critical plane based, fretting fatigue crack initiation parameter is developed by the addition of a new term into the Modified Shear Stress Range(MSSR) parameter. The newly developed parameter (MSSR') is then used to evaluate fretting fatigue life of titanium alloy, Ti-6A1-4V with various contact conditions. Finite element analysis is also used in order to obtain stress distribution on the contact surface during fretting fatigue test, which is then used for the calculation of fretting fatigue parameter. The MSSR' parameter shows better performance in predicting fretting fatigue lives from the conventional fatigue data, and less scattering within fretting fatigue data with different contact geometries.
