Self-Adaptive Surrogate-Assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents a novel mechanism to adapt surrogate-assisted population-based algorithms. This mechanism is applied to ACM-ES, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted variant of CMA-ES. The resulting algorithm, saACM-ES, adjusts online the lifelength

Surrogate modeling of RF circuit blocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Surrogate models are a cost-effective replacement for expensive computer simulations in design space exploration. Literature has already demonstrated the feasibility of accurate surrogate models for single radio frequency (RF) and microwave devices ...

Surrogate Measures and Consistent Surrogates [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics, 2013
AbstractSummarySurrogates which allow one to predict the effect of the treatment on the outcome of interest from the effect of the treatment on the surrogate are of importance when it is difficult or expensive to measure the primary outcome. Unfortunately, the use of such surrogates can give rise to paradoxical situations in which the effect of the ...

4-Cyano-3-oxotetrahydrothiophene (c-THT): An Ideal Acrylonitrile Anion Equivalent

open access: yesSynOpen, 2021
4-Cyano-3-oxotetrahydrothiophene (c-THT) has much more to offer than just a platform to various heterocyclic scaffolds. This solid, bench-stable and commercially available reagent can be readily transformed into thioglycolic acid and acrylonitrile upon ...

Efficient simulation-driven design optimization of antennas using co-kriging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present an efficient technique for design optimization of antenna structures. Our approach exploits coarse-discretization electromagnetic (EM) simulations of the antenna of interest that are used to create its fast initial model (a surrogate) through ...

Evaluation of Various Lactic Acid Bacteria and Generic E. coli as Potential Nonpathogenic Surrogates for In-Plant Validation of Biltong Dried Beef Processing

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Validation studies conducted within a food processing facility using surrogate organisms could better represent the manufacturing process than controlled laboratory studies with pathogenic bacteria on precision equipment in a BSL-2 lab. The objectives of
