Fixed minimum volume resuscitation: Pro

Maximum Load and Minimum Volume Structural Optimization

A bi-criteria optimization is considered whose objectives are the maximization of the load sustained by a structure and the minimization of the structure's volume. As the objectives are conflicting, the solution to the problem is of the Pareto type. The problem is elaborated for a thin-walled column of cruciform cross-section, prone to flexural and torsional buckling. A numerical example is als...

Limited fluid volume resuscitation.

Volume replacement therapy is crucial to the treatment of hypovolemic shock. In patients with certain conditions, limiting the volume of fluid administered has many potential therapeutic benefits and technical advantages. Hypertonic saline and colloids have characteristics that allow effective treatment of hypovolemic shock using relatively smaller volumes than would be required for isotonic cr...

Minimum Volume Embedding

Minimum Volume Embedding (MVE) is an algorithm for non-linear dimensionality reduction that uses semidefinite programming (SDP) and matrix factorization to find a low-dimensional embedding that preserves local distances between points while representing the dataset in many fewer dimensions. MVE follows an approach similar to algorithms such as Semidefinite Embedding (SDE), in that it learns a k...

Minimum Volume Enclosing Ellipsoids

Two different methods for computing the covering ellipses of a set of points are presented. The first method finds the optimal ellipsoids with the minimum volume. The second method uses the first and second moments of the data points to compute the parameters of an ellipsoid that covers most of the points. A MATLAB software is written to verify the results.
