[Results] The experimental results show that the UKF has an error reduction of over 10% in every estimator relative to the EKF.
According to the actual measured data, the initial value is shown in Table 1.

The LC-MS data confirmed that the two main constituents in hexane extract of cinnamon bark were coumarin and cinnamaldehyde that might play a role in antimicrobial activity.
The results were expressed as log reduction and were interpreted according to standard ISO 11930.
The reductions in term of log CFU/g were observed in the inoculated samples since one week after the beginning of the test.

The so called “wear mechanism map” is based on data gained in pin-on-disc tests [8].
The data amount and its load levels are also summarized in Table 3.
At the lowest load level of the fitting data, most of the data is located on the left side of the derived curve, indicating an overestimated tool life at low load level.
Therefore, the 19 data points are split into two parts, the data for fitting and the data for validation.
The only difference is that the data of load level 5, the lowest load level of the test data, always serve as fitting data.

The large amount of data produced must be automatically processed.
As result, an important dimension reduction can be obtained.
A baseline must be constructed using data for the healthy structure.
A Micron Optics Si 425 interrogator was used for data acquisition.
In the third data group (from the left to the right in Figure 7) for example, the data corresponding to the most severe damage case is closer to other data than in the other three load cases.

The effects of concrete strength and rebar corrosion level on the resistance of normal section are analyzed based on the test data.
A recent survey on reinforced concrete structures in China revealed that different degrees of reinforcement corrosion happened during their service lives, in which hydraulic structures are even more serious, and some of them occurred heavily with concrete spall and reinforcement sectional reduction less than thirty years after construction.

Use Keithley 4200 semiconductor instrument and Gas-sensing measurement system to analyze gas-sensing characteristic of Schottky diode device, the sensitive degree of NO2 with different density can be compared through theoretical analysis of measured current and voltage data.
Gas absorbed by PbPc can be divided into oxidizing gases (like O2 or Cl2) and reducing gases (like NH3 or CO) when considered in chemistry theoretical knowledge of oxidation reduction view, oxidizing gases is called electron acceptor, reducing gases is electron donor.

By studying the formation of snowflakes, scientists have found that frequency data can be stored in water.
In other words, in the process of reduction and oxidation, oxygen is transformed by the addition of an extra electron into superoxide radicals (O2-), which can easily set off a branched chain reaction [13], generating new rapidly-reacting intermediary reactants.

The gained data can be used for material modelling in ABAQUS using Mohr-Coulomb or Drucker-Prager model.
A consistent use of these materials with more than 90% in the Ultralight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) led to weight reductions of about 25% and a gain in rigidity of 80% [3].
Shear test For the numerical simulation of the behaviour of the beads it is necessary to gain data of critical shear stresses under compression leading to a plastic deformation of the bulk case.
The measured data shows a constant compression stress for the whole test and an almost linear increase in punch displacement.
MS1200 friction stress Summary Using experimental setups of soil engineering and granular material science modified for high pressures up to 100 N/mm² it is possible to gain data for numerical simulation of the behaviour of ceramics beads which are intended to be uses as medium for hydroforming at elevated temperatures up to 600 °C.

The construction in 2014 of a New Zealand house provides data which can be used to model performance in both countries.
Reduction of CO2: As with other plants, during its growth phase, it absorbs atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis, trapping it in the shive and hence in the construction for the lifetime of the building. 1 ha of hemp absorbs during its growth 4 times more CO2 than the same tree forest area [4].
Table 1 briefly summarises hempcrete data: Table 1.

A non linear numerical model of the church-tower complex was implemented and compared to the outcomes of the available experimental data (monitoring, investigations), also considering the historical process leading to the present day conditions.
Execution of the structural joint (c) Information on the trend of settlements during historical phases that have characterized the building's life emerged from historical documents and surveys and it was used as input data for numerical analyses.

The outcomes of the FEA confirm that the structural intervention improve considerably the global static condition of the building and in particular it has been revealed: - a considerable reduction of the load on the church's column, estimated in about 800 kN (-17%); - a correspondent increase of loads and stresses at tower's base (+17%); - a return to the original static situation of the building in which the two structures were structurally more independent (Lorenzoni 2009).
