Identification of rheological parameters of Herschel–Bulkley fluids from free surface data by Farzad Mohebbi, Mathieu Sellier

“…Based on a defined least square objective function and a gradient-based minimization method (here steepest-descent method), linearly-independent explicit expressions are derived for sensitivity coefficients which enable us to estimate simultaneously three rheological parameters of Herschel-Bulkley fluids accurately using the transient readings at only one point (sensor). …”

Prediction of the air quality index of Hefei based on an improved ARIMA model by Jia-Bao Liu, Xi-Yu Yuan

“…There are three primary discoveries: (1) The air quality index of Hefei has obvious periodicity and a trend of descent. (2) The influencing factors of Spring Festival have no significant effect on the air quality index series. (3) The air quality index of Hefei will maintain a fluctuating and descending trend for a period of time. …”
