“Challenging behavior” in dementia care: ethical complications of a well-intentioned concept

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry
Uncommon behaviours such as aggression, apathy or restlessness are described as challenging behaviours in dementia care. On the one hand, this concept describes a practical problem faced by care staff and, at the same time, defines normatively how care ...

A trust‐region funnel algorithm for gray‐box optimization

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Gray‐box optimization, where parts of optimization problems are represented by algebraic models while others are treated as black‐box models lacking analytic derivatives, remains a challenge. Trust‐region (TR) methods provide a robust framework for gray‐box problems through local reduced models (RMs) for black‐box components, but they are ...

Hospitalizations, emergency medical care utilization, and contacts with the regional on-call medical services among nursing home residents in Germany: a cross-sectional study in 44 nursing homes

open access: yesBMC Health Services Research
Background Nursing home residents frequently utilize medical care, but there lacks a complete picture of their acute medical care utilization. We quantified hospitalizations, emergency medical care utilization, and contacts with the regional on-call ...

Stochastic optimization of Power‐to‐Methanol: Production cost sensitivity to process design vs. scheduling

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Under time‐varying electricity prices, the production costs of Power‐to‐X processes with intermediate storage can be reduced by simultaneously optimizing the process unit design and size with their scheduling and operation. However, the production cost sensitivity to optimal process design or scheduling is unclear, especially when several ...

Graph‐based imitation and reinforcement learning for efficient Benders decomposition

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This work introduces an end‐to‐end graph‐based agent for accelerating the computational efficiency of Benders Decomposition. The agent's policy is parameterized by a graph neural network, which takes as input a bipartite graph representation of the master problem and proposes a candidate solution.

Real‐Time Sampling‐Based Model Predictive Control Based on Reverse Kullback–Leibler Divergence and Its Adaptive Acceleration

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

Needs-based provision of medical care to nursing home residents: protocol for a mixed-methods study

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2019
Introduction Nursing home residents typically have greater needs for medical care than community-dwelling elderly. However, restricted cognitive abilities and limited mobility may impede their access to general practitioners and medical specialists.
