Minimizing distortion and internal forces in truss structures by simulated annealing [PDF]

Inaccuracies in the length of members and the diameters of joints of large truss reflector backup structures may produce unacceptable levels of surface distortion and member forces.

Advanced control of non‐isothermal axial dispersion tubular reactors with recycle‐induced state delay

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a delay‐aware estimation and control framework for a non‐isothermal axial dispersion tubular reactor modelled as a coupled parabolic‐hyperbolic PDE system with recycle‐induced state delay. The infinite‐dimensional dynamics are preserved without spatial discretization by representing the delay as a transport PDE and adopting a late ...

A 2-Level Iterated Tabu Search Algorithm for the Quadratic Assignment Problem

Informacijos Mokslai, 2019
In this paper, a 2-level iterated tabu search (ITS) algorithm for the solution of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is considered. The novelty of the proposed ITS algorithm is that the solution mutation procedures are incorporated within the ...

Spouted bed drying parameters and adjuvant effects on polyphenol retention and antioxidant activity in mango peel powders

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Spouted bed drying of mango peels with colloidal SiO2 and corn starch produces a free‐flowing powder with reduced agglomeration, increased drying yield, and preserved antioxidant and polyphenol content. Abstract The production of polyphenol‐rich powders is a promising strategy for valorizing agro‐industrial byproducts. This study evaluated drying yield,

Rank‐based estimation of propensity score weights via subclassification

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propensity score (PS) weighting estimators are widely used for causal effect estimation and enjoy desirable theoretical properties, such as consistency and potential efficiency under correct model specification. However, their performance can degrade in practice due to sensitivity to PS model misspecification.

On subset least squares estimation and prediction in vector autoregressive models with exogenous variables

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We establish the consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the least squares estimators of the coefficients of a subset vector autoregressive process with exogenous variables (VARX). Using a martingale central limit theorem, we derive the asymptotic normal distribution of the estimators. Diagnostic checking is discussed using kernel‐based

Statistical Discrimination of Urinary Steroid Biomarkers in the Athlete Biological Passport: A Novel Approach to an Abnormal Steroid Profile Score (ASPS)

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
The study developed a single Abnormal Steroid Profile Score (ASPS) to improve interpretation of the Athlete Biological Passport steroid module. Using Bayesian modelling and logistic regression, biomarker patterns from laboratory and doping control data successfully discriminated between doped and clean individuals, with improved classification ...

Scheduling in stochastic bicriteria single machine systems with job-dependent learning effects

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2013
A stochastic bicriteria single machine scheduling problem with job-dependent learning effects in which the normal processing times of jobs (i.e., processing times without any learning effects) are random variables was studied.

Construction of SubQUBOs by K-Means Clustering of QUBO Variables

IEEE Access
Ising machines are specialized solvers for combinatorial optimization problems (COPs), which are typically formulated as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) models.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit
