Studies in Solution Sampling

چکیده
We introduce novel algorithms for generating random solutions from a uniform distribution over the solutions of a boolean satisfiability problem. Our algorithms operate in two phases. In the first phase, we use a recently introduced SampleSearch scheme to generate biased samples while in the second phase we correct the bias by using either Sampling/Importance Resampling or the MetropolisHastings method. Unlike state-of-the-art algorithms, our algorithms guarantee convergence in the limit. Our empirical results demonstrate the superior performance of our new algorithms over several competing schemes.

Searching for the Optimal Sampling Solution: Variation in Invertebrate Communities, Sample Condition and DNA Quality
There is a great demand for standardising biodiversity assessments in order to allow optimal comparison across research groups. For invertebrates, pitfall or flight-interception traps are commonly used, but sampling solution differs widely between studies, which could influence the communities collected and affect sample processing (morphological or genetic). We assessed arthropod communities w...
متن کاملCausal model and sampling approaches to reducing base rate neglect
Two studies examined how sampling of base rate information and causal explanation of false positives facilitate intuitive probability judgments. Experiment 1a varied these two manipulations factorially. Each had an additive effect on reducing base rate neglect and increasing choice of the normatively correct solution. Experiment 1b showed that description of relevant distributional information ...
متن کاملA final field evaluation test involving paired midget impinger train sampling concurrent with HCl monitoring at a MWC was used to determine the precision of the HC1 sampling and analysis protocol and the bias and precision of two HCl CEMS's
The U. S. EPA is currently regulating emissions of HCl from hazardous waste incinerators under 40 CFH 264.343 to 4 lbs/hr or an HCl removal efficiency of at least 993. The EPA is also currently considering regulating HCl emissions from MWC’s. Several state and local agencies have already set HCl emission limits for new MWC's and are requiring installation of HCl EMS’s at certain facilities. Lab...
متن کاملEconomic Design of Variable Sampling Interval X-Bar Control Charts for Monitoring Correlated Non-Normal Samples
Recent studies have shown the X-bar control chart with variable sampling interval detects shifts in the process mean faster than the traditional X-bar chart. These studies are usually based on the assumption that the process data are independently and normally distributed. However, many situations in practice violate these assumptions. In this study, a methodology is developed to economically ...

Spectropholornetrie technique is used to evaluate binding of the vanadium(1U) ion to a water solublecaruc[4] arene molecule in aqueous solution. On the basis of the calculated value formation constant at25rC.we found that the eomplexation of this metal on is very favored towards 25, 26, 27, 2Stetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetnmulphonalic acid-calix[0]areneGaussian 03 package.
متن کاملProlonged survival of Pseudomonas cepacia in commercially manufactured povidone-iodine.
Pseudomonas cepacia organisms were recently recovered from a povidone-iodine antiseptic solution. During the subsequent investigation, laboratory studies were initiated to determine the survival time of these organisms in the iodophor solution, which contains 1% titratable iodine. The solution was sampled weekly upon receipt in our laboratory, and P. cepacia was subsequently recovered through 2...
