Monitored Tomographic Reconstruction—An Advanced Tool to Study the 3D Morphology of Nanomaterials
Detailed and accurate three-dimensional (3D) information about the morphology of hierarchically structured materials is derived from multi-scale X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and subsequent 3D data reconstruction.

Reliability of an engineering system characterized by hot and cold standby: A compound boundary value problem [PDF]
We analyse the reliability (survival function) of a duplex system characterized by hot standby and sustained by an auxiliary unit in cold standby. The entire system is attended by two heterogeneous repairmen.

A Stopping Rule for Simulation‑Based Estimation of Inclusion Probabilities
Design‑based estimation of finite population parameters such as totals usually relies on the knowledge of inclusion probabilities characterising the sampling design. They are directly incorporated into sampling weights and estimators.

Nucleos(t)ide analogue (Nuc) including entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and tenofovir alafenamide may suppress hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA profoundly but have no direct action on covalently closed circular DNA, which is a very stable template ...

On rules for stopping the conjugate gradient type methods in ill‐posed problems
We consider stopping rules in conjugate gradient type iteration methods for solving linear ill‐posed problems with noisy data. The noise level may be known exactly or approximately or be unknown. We propose several new stopping rules, mostly for the case

Timing and spatial selection bias in rapid extreme event attribution
Selection bias may arise when data have been chosen in a way that subsequent analysis does not account for. Such bias can arise in climate event attribution studies that are performed rapidly after a devastating “trigger event”, whose occurrence ...

Optimal Save-Then-Transmit for Random Energy Harvesting Communications: An Optimal Stopping Approach
Energy harvesting (EH) from renewable energy sources is more environmental friendly and convenient than the conventional energy supplies. This paper considers a point-to-point channel with the transmitter powered by random energy harvester, for which the

A new strategy for Robbins' problem of optimal stopping [PDF]
In this article we study the expected rank problem under full information. Our approach uses the planar Poisson approach from Gnedin (2007) to derive the expected rank of a stopping rule that is one of the simplest non-trivial examples combining rank ...
