Multimodel Bayesian Analysis of Load Duration Effects in Lumber Reliability
Yunfeng Yang, Martin Lysy, Samuel W. K. Wong
This paper evaluates the reliability of lumber, accounting for the duration-of-load (DOL) effect under different load profiles based on a multimodel Bayesian approach. Three indivi…
Conformational variability of loops in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
Samuel W. K. Wong, Zongjun Liu
The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein facilitates viral infection, and has been the focus of many structure determination efforts. Its flexible loop regions are known to be involved in…
Statistical challenges in the analysis of sequence and structure data for the COVID-19 spike protein
Shiyu He, Samuel W. K. Wong
As the major target of many vaccines and neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the spike (S) protein is observed to mutate over time. In this paper, we present statistical ap…
Ellipse Detection and Localization with Applications to Knots in Sawn Lumber Images
Shenyi Pan, Shuxian Fan, Samuel W. K. Wong +2
While general object detection has seen tremendous progress, localization of elliptical objects has received little attention in the literature. Our motivating application is the d…
Assessing the impacts of mutations to the structure of COVID-19 spike protein via sequential Monte Carlo
Samuel W. K. Wong
Proteins play a key role in facilitating the infectiousness of the 2019 novel coronavirus. A specific spike protein enables this virus to bind to human cells, and a thorough unders…
Calibrating wood products for load duration and rate: A statistical look at three damage models
Samuel W. K. Wong
Lumber and wood-based products are versatile construction materials that are susceptible to weakening as a result of applied stresses. To assess the effects of load duration and ra…
