in many statistical systems, a type of survey called “sampling over time” is common, which repeats continuously over time. one method of sampling over time is panel survey. panel survey is a method in which a “fixed sample” is contacted during different waves. the most important challenge in a panel survey is debility in providing response from some sample units and having non-response that usu...

the impact resistance of new lightweight panel is studied. this panel consists of two thin metal layers bonded together by intermediate fiber/epoxy layers (mcm-sheets). to simulate a behavior of this kind of impact problem, explicit and implicit finite element software abaqus is used. in order to validate the finite element modeling, these results have been compared with experimental test resul...

Difference-in-differences with matching is a popular method to measure the impact of an intervention in health as well as social sciences. This method requires baseline data, i.e., data before interventions, which are not always available in reality. Instead, panel data with two time periods are often collected after interventions begin. In this paper, a simple matching method is proposed to me...

A new two-dimensional panel technique has been developed to solve Laplacian flows, which eliminates the edge effect present in traditional panel methods. Such a method is very useful for applications where the velocity induced by the panels is required at arbitrary locations. Particle based flow solvers are a prime example. The method, however, requires considerably more computational effort. I...

A new panel technique which produces a globally accurate velocity field has been developed. Traditional panel techniques panelise the body into a set of linear panels and distribute some kind of singularity on the surface of these panels. The singularities normally used are sources, doublets and vorticity. Such panel methods produce high accuracy at the control point but do not produce accurate...
