Assessing building's post-earthquake functional recovery accounting for utility system disruption
Resilient Cities and Structures, 2023 Experience from past earthquakes has demonstrated the need to account for design goals beyond safety, known as functional recovery objectives, in the interest of community resilience.

Minimax identity with robust utility functional for a nonconcave utility
Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2022 The minimax identity for a nondecreasing upper-semicontinuous utility function satisfying mild growth assumption is studied. In contrast to the classical setting, concavity of the utility function is not asumed. By considering the concave envelope of the

Utility of SPECT Functional Neuroimaging of Pain
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021 Functional neuroimaging modalities vary in spatial and temporal resolution. One major limitation of most functional neuroimaging modalities is that only neural activation taking place inside the scanner can be imaged.

Assessing the Utility of the Utility Function [PDF]
Anesthesiology, 2013 Over the last 40 years, anesthesiologists have incorporated a series of new pharmacologic concepts that give us a better understanding of how drugs behave when administered by intravenous bolus or infusion. Each of these concepts initially seemed arcane and theoretical, but most are now accepted as a fundamental part of anesthesia practice. For example,

Seroreactivity against Helicobacter pylori VacA,50kDa and 30kDa along with alarm features may improve the diagnostic approach to uninvestigated dyspepsia: A pilot study [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2022 Background/Aim. Alarm features (AF) are of limited utility in predicting endoscopic findings, and the majority of patients with uninvestigated dyspepsia will have no organic pathology identified at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In our previous study,

Lipschitz Bernoulli Utility Functions
Mathematics of Operations Research, 2023 We obtain several variants of the classic von Neumann–Morgenstern expected utility theorem with and without the completeness axiom in which the derived Bernoulli utility functions are Lipschitz. The prize space in these results is an arbitrary separable metric space, and the utility functions are allowed to be unbounded.
