New AI‐Assisted Approach for Expanding the Solution Space: Application to Lattice Structure Design
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces an innovative framework for designing structured materials by ex panding the design space through reparameterization of qualitative variables into continuous structural descriptors. Combined with machine‐learning‐based prediction and multi‐objective optimization, the approach enables the discovery of novel lattice architectures ...

Ethical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage [PDF]
International Journal of Health Policy and Management, 2015 This article discusses what ethicists have called “unacceptable trade-offs” in health policy choices related to universal health coverage (UHC). Since the fiscal space is constrained, trade-offs need to be made.
