Abstract The Team for Infants Exposed to Substance use (TIES) Program is a longstanding home‐based family support program that provides a multidisciplinary, community‐facing model to address the complex needs of families with young children affected by maternal substance use.

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

On Convergence of Binary Trust-Region Steepest Descent [PDF]
Binary trust-region steepest descent (BTR) and combinatorial integral approximation (CIA) are two recently investigated approaches for the solution of optimization problems with distributed binary-/discrete-valued variables (control functions).

A three-term Polak-Ribière-Polyak derivative-free method and its application to image restoration
In this paper, a derivative-free method for solving convex constrained nonlinear equations involving a monotone operator with a Lipschitz condition imposed on the underlying operator is introduced and studied.

Relations between Abs-Normal NLPs and MPCCs. Part 2: Weak Constraint Qualifications [PDF]
This work continues an ongoing effort to compare non-smooth optimization problems in abs-normal form to Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints (MPCCs).

Dynamics of Dengue epidemics using optimal control [PDF]
We present an application of optimal control theory to Dengue epidemics. This epidemiologic disease is an important theme in tropical countries due to the growing number of infected individuals.

A new elementary proof for M-stationarity under MPCC-GCQ for mathematical programs with complementarity constraints [PDF]
It is known in the literature that local minimizers of mathematical programs with complementarity constraints (MPCCs) are so-called M-stationary points, if a weak MPCC-tailored Guignard constraint qualification (called MPCC-GCQ) holds.

Positive Definiteness and Semi-Definiteness of Even Order Symmetric Cauchy Tensors [PDF]
Motivated by symmetric Cauchy matrices, we define symmetric Cauchy tensors and their generating vectors in this paper. Hilbert tensors are symmetric Cauchy tensors.
