Optimum design of lattice structures based on continuum expression using micropolar continuum theory

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
We construct a structural optimization method targeting lattice structures composed of a sufficiently large array of unit cells where each unit cell consists of several beam elements, with the aim of maximizing the stiffness of the entire structure under

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Free-form optimization method of frame structures for elastic buckling

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
In this study, we propose a shape optimization method of a frame structure for maximizing the elastic buckling load. The 1st buckling load factor is maximized under a volume constraint.

Determination of the Joint Confidence Region of Optimal Operating Conditions in Robust Design by Bootstrap Technique

, 2012
Robust design has been widely recognized as a leading method in reducing variability and improving quality. Most of the engineering statistics literature mainly focuses on finding "point estimates" of the optimum operating conditions for robust design ...

Exploration versus Exploitation Using Kriging Surrogate Modelling in Electromagnetic Design [PDF]

, 2011
This paper discusses the use of kriging surrogate modelling in multiobjective design optimisation in electromagnetics. The importance of achieving appropriate balance between exploration and exploitation is emphasised when searching for the global ...

Prolonged Corrected QT Interval as an Early Electrocardiographic Marker of Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...

Optimised configuration of sensors for fault tolerant control of an electro-magnetic suspension system [PDF]

, 2011
For any given system the number and location of sensors can affect the closed-loop performance as well as the reliability of the system. Hence, one problem in control system design is the selection of the sensors in some optimum sense that considers both

Predicting Chronicity in Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Immune Thrombocytopenia at the Timepoint of Diagnosis Using Machine Learning‐Based Approaches

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To identify predictors of chronic ITP (cITP) and to develop a model based on several machine learning (ML) methods to estimate the individual risk of chronicity at the timepoint of diagnosis. Methods We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 944 children enrolled in the Intercontinental Cooperative immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) Study ...

Patient‐Level Barriers and Facilitators to Inpatient Physical Therapy in Adolescents and Young Adults With a Hematological Malignancy: A Qualitative Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite their increased risk for functional impairment resulting from cancer and its treatments, few adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with a hematological malignancy receive the recommended or therapeutic dose of exercise per week during inpatient hospitalizations.
