A Bayesian Optimal Design for Accelerated Degradation Testing Based on the Inverse Gaussian Process

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
Accelerated degradation testing (ADT) is commonly used to obtain degradation data of products by exerting loads over usage conditions. Such data can be used for estimating component lifetime and reliability under usage conditions.

A Method for Augmenting Supersaturated Designs with Newly Added Factors

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Follow-up experimental designs are popularly used in industry. In practice, some important factors may be neglected for various reasons in the first-stage experiment and they need to be added in the next stage.

Outcomes of Live Virus Vaccination in Patients With Vascular Anomalies Being Treated With Sirolimus

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Live vaccination in patients with vascular anomalies (VA) receiving sirolimus remains controversial due to immunosuppressive effects and theoretical risks. Procedure This single‐center retrospective study included patients with VA less than 4 years old at the start of sirolimus therapy who were incompletely vaccinated.

Differential-integral Euler–Lagrange equations [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Numerical Analysis and Optimization
We study the calculus of variations problem in the presence of a system of differential-integral (D-I) equations. In order to identify the necessary optimality conditions for this problem, we derive the so-called D-I Euler–Lagrange equations.

Optimization Design of Step Stress Accelerated Degradation Test for Motorized Spindle Based on Ds-Optimality

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
In the accelerated degradation test (ADT) of motorized spindles, it is necessary to apply a variety of stresses to simulate real working conditions. However, the traditional accelerated test scheme optimization method does not consider the weight of ...

Sparsely Sampling the Sky: A Bayesian Experimental Design Approach

open access: yes, 2012
The next generation of galaxy surveys will observe millions of galaxies over large volumes of the universe. These surveys are expensive both in time and cost, raising questions regarding the optimal investment of this time and money.

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

The Fate (Outcome) of Clinically Apparent Single Lesion and Oligofocal Nephroblastomatosis Treated According to SIOP/GPOH Protocols for Wilms Tumor

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

On a Multiplicative Algorithm for Computing Bayesian D-optimal Designs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We use the minorization-maximization principle (Lange, Hunter and Yang 2000) to establish the monotonicity of a multiplicative algorithm for computing Bayesian D-optimal designs. This proves a conjecture of Dette, Pepelyshev and Zhigljavsky (2008)

‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...
