A structural reliability-based sensitivity analysis method using particles swarm optimization: relative convergence rate [PDF]
This paper proposes a novel reliability-based sensitivity analysis (SA) method, namely relative convergence rate of random variables using particles swarm optimization (PSO). The convergence rate of a random variable during the optimum evolution process reflects the sensitivity of the objective function with respect to the random variables.

Metamodel-based importance sampling for the simulation of rare events
In the field of structural reliability, the Monte-Carlo estimator is considered as the reference probability estimator. However, it is still untractable for real engineering cases since it requires a high number of runs of the model.

Development and clinimetric assessment of a nurse-administered screening tool for movement disorders in psychosis [PDF]
Background: Movement disorders (MD) associated with exposure to antipsychotic drugs (AP). MD are common and stigmatising, but underdiagnosed. Methods: We developed a screening procedure for AP-MD for administration by mental health (MH) nurses.

ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
