Hybrid modeling in the predictive analytics of energy systems and prices by Gulay, Emrah, Duru, Okan

“…In this regard, the proposed algorithm hybridizes or combines linear components captured by the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) and nonlinear components processed by the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to improve post-sample accuracy. The conventional reiterative process can improve in-sample accuracy, which literally has no value for business forecasting practices. …”

Robustness in stochastic filtering and maximum likelihood estimation for SDEs by Diehl, J, Friz, PK, Mai, H, Oberhauser, H, Riedel, S, Stannat, W

“…Our contribution (Crisan et al., Ann Appl Probab 23(5):2139–2160, 2013); Diehl et al., A Levy-area between Brownian motion and rough paths with applications to robust non-linear filtering and RPDEs (2013, arXiv:1301.3799; Diehl et al., Pathwise stability of likelihood estimators for diffusions via rough paths (2013, arXiv:1311.1061) changed to yes, in other words: well-posedness is restored, provided one is willing or able to regard observations as rough paths in the sense of T. …”

Two-phase immersion cooling for power dense printed circuit board converters by Ristic-Smith, A

“…Critical heat flux of 43W/cm2 is observed and the maximum heat transfer coefficient is 1.5W/(cm2 K). A theoretical model and numerical solution method for boiling on pin fins is developed and used to design heat spreaders to increase the power dissipation per unit semiconductor area with minimal penalty on the converter volume. …”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”
