3. Ensemble of Kernel Regression Models for Assessing the Health State of Choke Valves in Offshore Oil Platforms

Piero Baraldi, Enrico Zio, Francesca Mangili, Giulio Gola, Bent H. Nystad
Pages: 225 - 241
This paper considers the problem of erosion in choke valves used on offshore oil platforms. A parameter commonly used to assess the valve erosion state is the flow coefficient, which can be analytically calculated as a function of both measured and allocated parameters. Since the allocated parameter...

8. Approximate cycles count in undirected graphs

Maytham Safar, Khaled Mahdi, Hisham Farahat, Saud Albehairy, Ali Kassem, Khalid Alenzi
Pages: 305 - 311
In social networks, counting the number of different cycle sizes can be used to measure the entropy of the network that represents its robustness. The exact algorithms to compute cycles in a graph can generate exact results but they are not guaranteed to run in a polynomial time. We present an approximation...
