Minimum sample size determination for generalized extreme value distribution (2010)
Journal Article

Sample size determination is an important issue in statistical analysis. Obviously, the larger the sample size is, the better the statistical results we have. However, in many areas such as coastal engineering and environmental sciences, it can be ve... Read More about Minimum sample size determination for generalized extreme value distribution.

A botanical survey of Caño Palma Biological Station (Estación Biológica Caño Palma), Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2010)
Journal Article

The Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica are renowned for their botanical diversity. Despite previous work in Costa Rica’s lowland wet rainforests, remote areas are still ecologically poorly known. Botanical species lists for such areas are often incompl... Read More about A botanical survey of Caño Palma Biological Station (Estación Biológica Caño Palma), Tortuguero, Costa Rica.

Parameter determination of chaboche kinematic hardening model using a multi objective genetic algorithm (2010)
Journal Article

Chaboche model is a powerful tool to evaluate the cyclic behavior under different loading conditions using kinematic hardening theory. It can also predict the ratcheting phenomenon. To predict the ratcheting, it is required to determine the material... Read More about Parameter determination of chaboche kinematic hardening model using a multi objective genetic algorithm.
