Data-driven prediction models are the core of adaptive test planning, but always have a model-based prediction error. For a reliable interpretation of the prediction result, the modeling of the associated uncertainty is ...

This research works is focused on the analysis of Fuzzy Finite-Element Method (FFEM) with the present of uncertainties. In considering a major engineering science problems, like damage processes or loading in consequence ...

Assessing root sources of three uncertainties – parameterization of soil hydraulic characteristics, boundary conditions, and estimation of source/sink terms – is a significant challenge in soil water transport modeling. ...

In this work, the reliability of complex systems under consideration of imprecision is addressed. By joining two methods coming from different fields, namely, structural reliability and system reliability, a novel methodology ...

We report on an evaluation of an optical clock that uses the S21/2→D25/2 transition of a single Sr+88 ion as the reference. In contrast to previous work, we estimate the effective temperature of the blackbody radiation ...

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is an efficient solution to collect large-scale data. The efficiency can be increased by combining TLS with additional sensors in a TLS-based multi-sensorsystem (MSS). The uncertainty of ...

Variably saturated subsurface flow models require knowledge of the soil hydraulic parameters. However, the determination of these parameters in heterogeneous soils is not easily feasible and subject to large uncertainties. ...

Spectrophotometers are operated in numerous fields of science and industry for a variety of applications. In order to provide confidence for the measured data, analyzing the associated uncertainty is valuable. However, the ...

The electromagnetic (EM) emissions of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are evaluated in situ. Results of in situ tests, however, are only valid for the examined equipment under test (EUT) and cannot be applied to ...

Optical atomic clocks represent the state of the art in the frontier of modern measurement science. In this article a detailed review on the development of optical atomic clocks that are based on trapped single ions and ...
