Heuristics, biases and traps in managerial decision making

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the impact of heuristics, biases and psychological traps on the decision making. Heuristics are unconscious routines people use to cope with the complexity inherent in most decision situations.

Neural Network Structure Optimization by Simulated Annealing

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
A critical problem in large neural networks is over parameterization with a large number of weight parameters, which limits their use on edge devices due to prohibitive computational power and memory/storage requirements.

Solving the flight perturbation problem with meta heuristics

open access: yes, 2006
When there is a perturbation in a carefully constructed aircraft schedule, e.g. an aircraft breakdown, it is important to minimize the negative consequences of this disturbance.

Machine Learning Accelerated Computational Design of Bio‐Inspired Catalysts in the Nitrogen Reduction Reaction

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a computational workflow that combines quantum chemical calculations and machine learning techniques to predict the catalytic performance of a wide range of catalysts in the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). The analysis of the trained models provides insights into the complex structure–activity relationship in experimental catalytic ...

Use of Less Relevant Heuristics in Mortgage Valuations in Tanzania

open access: yesJournal of African Real Estate Research, 2019
Valuation-surveyors, like all other disciplines, are invariably influenced by a host of factors when estimating values for different purposes. Faced with complex decision-making in valuation, many surveyors are compelled to make use of heuristics ...

Heuristics for packing semifluids [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Operational Research, 2020
Physical properties of materials are seldom studied in the context of packing problems. In this work we study the behavior of semifluids: materials with particular characteristics, that share properties both with solids and with fluids. We describe the importance of some specific semifluids in an industrial context, and propose methods for tackling the

From the Discovery of the Giant Magnetocaloric Effect to the Development of High‐Power‐Density Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The article overviews past and current efforts on caloric materials and systems, highlighting the contributions of Ames National Laboratory to the field. Solid‐state caloric heat pumping is an innovative method that can be implemented in a wide range of cooling and heating applications.

Dynamic Current Routing in Conductive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Complex Deformation Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel actuation control strategy in which electrical stimulation generates localized Joule heating in conductive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) surfaces, enabling complex 3D deformations from a single homogeneous surface without preprogramming.

Direct Measurement of the Singlet Lifetime and Photoexcitation Behavior of the Boron Vacancy Center in Hexagonal Boron Nitride

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Negatively charged boron vacancy defects in hexagonal boron nitride promise near‐surface quantum sensing, but their internal spin transition rates are only partly understood. This work directly measures the defect's singlet‐state lifetime, 15(3) ns, using a nanosecond rise‐time dual‐pulse photoluminescence‐recovery method, and shows that high laser ...
