A Comparative Study of Single-Chain and Multi-Chain MCMC Algorithms for Bayesian Model Updating-Based Structural Damage Detection

Bayesian model updating has received considerable Mobile Accessories attention and has been extensively used in structural damage detection.It provides a rigorous statistical framework for realizing structural system identification and characterizing uncertainties associated with modeling and measurements.The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a pr

Edible dormice (Glis glis) avoid areas with a high density of their preferred food plant - the European beech

Abstract Background Numerous species, especially among rodents, are strongly affected by the availability of pulsed resources.The intermittent production of large seed crops in northern hemisphere tree species (e.g., beech Fagus spec.,oak Quercus spec., pine trees Pinus spec.) are prime examples of these resource pulses.Adult edible dormice are hig
