Hybrid Harmony Search Optimization Algorithm for Continuous Functions

open access: yesMathematical and Computational Applications, 2023
This paper proposes a hybrid harmony search algorithm that incorporates a method of reinitializing harmonies memory using a particle swarm optimization algorithm with an improved opposition-based learning method (IOBL) to solve continuous optimization ...

Low-cost quasi-global optimization of expensive electromagnetic simulation models by inverse surrogates and response features

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Conceptual design of contemporary high-frequency structures is typically followed by a careful tuning of their parameters, predominantly the geometry ones. The process aims at improving the relevant performance figures, and may be quite expensive.

On Entropy Regularized Path Integral Control for Trajectory Optimization

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
In this article, we present a generalized view on Path Integral Control (PIC) methods. PIC refers to a particular class of policy search methods that are closely tied to the setting of Linearly Solvable Optimal Control (LSOC), a restricted subclass of ...

Causal Effect Identification from Multiple Incomplete Data Sources: A General Search-Based Approach

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2021
Causal effect identification considers whether an interventional probability distribution can be uniquely determined without parametric assumptions from measured source distributions and structural knowledge on the generating system.

The use of methods of structural optimization at the stage of designing high-rise buildings with steel construction

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The more designing solutions at the search stage for design for high-rise buildings can be synthesized by the engineer, the more likely that the final adopted version will be the most efficient and economical. However, in modern market conditions, taking

An Interval-Arithmetic-Based Approach to the Parametric Identification of the Single-Diode Model of Photovoltaic Generators

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Parametric identification of the single diode model of a photovoltaic generator is a key element in simulation and diagnosis. Parameters’ values are often determined by using experimental data the modules manufacturers provide in the data sheets ...

Time Toxicity in Wilms Tumor: Quantifying the Burden of Healthcare Interaction in the First Year After Diagnosis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...

Heterogeneity in the Global Practice of Central Nervous System Staging in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is assessed by cell counting and cytomorphology from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is used for treatment stratification worldwide. The ratio of “CNS2” patients in clinical trials ranges from 3% to 40%, with unclear prognostic significance ...

Optimal Parametric Search for Path and Tree Partitioning

open access: yesCoRR, 2017
We present linear-time algorithms for partitioning a path or a tree with weights on the vertices by removing $k$ edges to maximize the minimum-weight component. We also use the same framework to partition a path with weight on the vertices, removing $k$ edges to minimize the maximum-weight component.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.
