Our work is also developed from earlier works like the state-space-based motion recovery algorithms with the external loads constructed from boundaries [21, 24] and model-based filtering framework with external loads simulated from an electromechanical coupling model [30].
The initial analysis indicated a 5-factor structure for the questionnaire with 3 items loading unexpectedly and irrelevant to the loaded construct.
Our allostatic load construct did not contain any markers from the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis that forms part of the neuroendocrine system (stress response).
Inclusion of measures such as cortisol could improve the power of allostatic load as an earlier risk predictor for disease, but their exclusion does not invalidate this allostatic load construct as the subsequent outcomes of cortisol release are still included.
Importantly, many of the individual components of allostatic load are not risk predictors for these same health outcomes, suggesting that the allostatic load construct could provide additional predictive power of disease risk over individual biomarkers.
Smoking has been linked with detrimental effects (direct and indirect) on many of the individual components of the allostatic load construct (Omvik, 1996; Moffatt, 1988; Tonstad and Cowan, 2009; Will et al., 2001) and has been extensively linked with lower SEP (Hiscock et al., 2012).
Table 1 Confirmatory factor analysis Factors/items Factor loading Construct reliability Cronbach's alpha Past recycling behavior .98.98 In the past 3 months, I engaged in product reuse and recycling (Not at all very many times).913 How often have you done product reuse and recycling in the past 3 months?
Collapse mechanisms maps for monotonic loading, and fatigue maps for cyclic loading are constructed with the aid of simple analytical models for the competing failure modes.
Approximating the spatial distribution function by a set of Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials, new distributed dynamic loads are constructed with each orthogonal polynomial performing as the spatial distribution function and the previously identified modal load acting as the time history.
According to the characteristics of power load data, the statistical parameter model reflecting the running state of the system is established, and the time series of electric load is constructed.
