چکیده
The researchers made significant progress in all of the proposed research areas. The first major task in the proposal involved simulation-based and sampling methods for global optimization. In support of this task, we have discovered two new innovative approaches to simulation-based global optimization; the first involves connections between stochastic approximation and our model reference approach to global optimization, while the second connects particle filtering and simulation-based approaches to global optimization. We have also made significant progress in population-based global optimal search methods, applications of these algorithms to problems in statistics and clinical trials, and efficient allocation of simulations. In support of the second task, we have made progress incorporating simulation-based and sampling methods into Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We have made significant progress on new sampling methods for MDPs, simulation-based approaches to partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), and applications of these algorithms.

متن کاملMissing Aspirated Impacted Denture Requiring Tracheotomy for Removal
Introduction: Aspirated foreign bodies continue to present challenges to otorhinolaryngologists. Removal of impacted airway foreign bodies via conventional methods can at times pose difficulty. This may berelated to the location and type of foreign body, experience of the surgeon and anesthetist, and the availability of appropriate instrument...
متن کاملLhermitte – Duclos Disease in a Young Adult: Rare Entity
Lhermitte - Duclos disease also called dysplastic gangliocytoma of cerebellum is an extremely rare cerebellar lesion which share features of both malformation and neoplasm. The usual presentation is of raised intracranial pressure along with cerebellar signs. We report a case of 23 year male who presented with headache & diplopia. MRI was suggestive of the diagnosis. Subtotal excision of th...
