Financial convergence in the Asia Pacific by Ibrahim, Juliana

“…For comparison purposes, by employing ‘Barro regressions’ model and Bernard and Durlauf (1995)’s stochastic convergence model, this study evaluates Asia Pacific’s financial sector cross-sectional and time series convergence from the period 1980 until 2009 for all three income groupings by examining: the cross country financial convergence to the common steady-state or individual steady-state level through β-convergence; the cross country financial convergence to a common equilibrium by employing σ-convergence; the financial convergence of the individual Asia Pacific country to its group’s mean level by considering bi-variate stochastic convergence; and group (regional) financial convergence towards their group’s mean level by estimating stochastic panel convergence. …”

Search for bose glass phase in the Shastry-Sutherland model by Leong, Wui Seng

“…In this project, 4 physical properties are determined: boson density, structure factor, stiffness and energy, by using the one of the quantum Monte Carlo methods called the \emph{stochastic series expansion}. Stochastic series expansion was studied thoroughly and instead of using the quantum states $\alpha$, it uses $\left\{ \alpha,S_{M}\right\} $ as the sample configuration where $S_{M}$ is the set of permutation of $M$ bond operators. …”

Integration of plug-in electric vehicles into power grid by Nima Harsamizadeh Tehrani

“…On the other hand, the energy storage capability and charging flexibility of PEVs create an opportunity for being as ancillary service providers to improve performance of grid. In this study, stochastic modeling has been presented to estimate the system-wide PEV charging load within domestic grids. …”

Estimating the economic loss due to vibriosis in net-cage cultured Asian seabass Lates calcarifer: Evidence from the East coast of Peninsular Malaysia by Mohd Yazid, Siti Hajar, Mohd Daud, Hassan, Azmai Amal, Mohammad Noor, Mohamad, Nurliyana, Mohd Nor, Norhariani

“…The results showed that 71.09% of Asian seabass simulated in the stochastic model survived. The mortality rate due to vibriosis and other causes was at 16.23 and 12.68%, respectively. …”

Analysis of residual atmospheric delay in the low latitude regions using network-based GPS positioning by Musa, Tajul A.

“…Furthermore, test results of stochastic modelling in various GPS networks suggests that there are improvements in validating the ambiguity resolution results and handling the temporal correlation, although the positioning result do not differ compared to using the simple stochastic model typically used in standard baseline processing.…”

CUDA acceleration of 3D dynamic scene reconstruction and 3D motion estimation for motion capture by Zhang, Zheng, Seah, Hock Soon

“…Body pose estimation starts from a deterministic prediction based on scene flow, and then uses a multi-layer search algorithm involving stochastic search and local optimization. We design and parallelize the PSO-based (particle swarm optimization) stochastic search algorithm and 3D DT (distance transform) computation of the pose estimation method on GPU. …”

Model updating and structural assessment using vibration data with artificial intelligence algorithms by Tu, Zhenguo

“…The main developments and contributions of this study may be summarized in the following four aspects. 1) A methodology to employ GA in conjunction with the eigensensitivity approach is developed for FE model updating based on a limited amount of modal data; 2) A two-level neural network is proposed to effectively update an FE model involving parameters of different nature, for example stiffness parameters and damping parameters, at two stages; 3) For improved efficiency, a stochastic genetic algorithm (StGA) with a unique stochastic coding scheme is developed in a systematic manner; 4) A GA aided procure for the effective use of artificial boundary condition frequencies (called “ABC” frequencies) in model updating is developed.…”
