Structural optimization by methods of feasible directions

Computers & Structures, 1973
A general design algorithm based on methods of feasible directions is presented. Zoutendijk's method of feasible directions is first presented as applied to structural design. This method is modified to improve numerical stability of the design process and is then further modified to deal efficiently with infeasible designs.

Combined phase I—phase II methods of feasible directions

Mathematical Programming, 1979
This paper presents several new algorithms, generalizing feasible directions algorithms, for the nonlinear programming problem, min{f 0 (z) ∣f j (z) ≤ 0,j = 1, 2, ⋯ ,m}. These new algorithms do not require an initial feasible point.

Direct MR Galactography: Feasibility Study

Radiology, 2008
To compare T1- and T2-weighted direct magnetic resonance (MR) galactography, indirect MR galactography, and conventional galactography in women with pathologic nipple discharge.The study was approved by the institutional review board. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients.

Feasibility of direct-biogas SOFC

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2008
Abstract Direct feeding of real biogas generated in a methane fermentation reactor to SOFC was tested by using Ni–ScSZ cermet as an anode material. At the operating temperature of 1000 °C, cell voltage above 0.9 V (at 200 mA cm −2 ) was stably obtained over 50 h without carbon deposition showing direct-biogas SOFC is feasible.

Feasibility of self-directed learning in clerkships

Medical Teacher, 2013
Self-directed learning has been well described in preclinical settings. However, studies report conflicting results when self-directed initiatives are implemented in clinical clerkships.To explore the feasibility of self-directed learning stimulated by clinical encounter-cards (CECs) in clinical clerkships.Two focus groups of year-four and year-five ...

Feasibility of Symbolic Directions on Prescription Labels

Drug Intelligence & Clinical Pharmacy, 1979
This project presents the results of a study designed to evaluate the usefulness of graphic labels in assisting functionally illiterate patients to understand how and when to take medication. The project's results indicate that comprehension of symbolic directions did not increase as rapidly as comprehension of typed directions.
