This work employs density functional theory to calculate the structural, mechanical, elastic anisotropy, thermal, electronic, and optical properties of Ce 1-x Hf x O 2 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) to explore the heavy substitutional doping effects of Hf. The cubic phase of CeO 2 is transformed...

Soil organic matter (SOM) in different density fractions has different characteristics and turnover rates. The environmental fates and risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with different SOM fractions are inevitably different during the transformation of SOM. Four...

We propose a practical empirical fitting function to characterize the non-Gaussian displacement distribution functions (DispD) often observed for heterogeneous diffusion problems. We first test this fitting function with the problem of a colloidal particle diffusing between two walls using...

There is a considerably vast literature on curve estimation in complete data and many censorship models under shape constraint. In contrast, little attention has been paid to such estimations from random left truncation model. To the best of our knowledge, the current literature contains no...

The problem of the most probable distributions on energy is studied in a combinatorial formulation, under the natural hypotheses regarding conservation laws, such as conservation of the total number of particles, total energy, etc. The particle distributions on the maximum and minimum energies...

This paper deals with parameter estimation problem of large-scale systems. A new Recursive Distributed Parameter Estimation Algorithm (RDPEA), based on the minimization of the prediction estimation error method, is developed. Specifically, we consider the class of large-scale systems that is...

To scientifically judge the structural abrupt transition characteristics of the carbon market price is an important means to comprehensively analyze its fluctuation law and effectively prevent carbon market risks. We propose a framework to identify abrupt transitions in the carbon market from...

In this paper, a fully distributed averaging algorithm in the presence of adversarial Byzantine agents is proposed. The algorithm is based on a resilient retrieval procedure, where all non-Byzantine nodes send their own initial values and retrieve those of other agents. We establish that the...
