A Better Composition Operator for Quantitative Information Flow Analyses

Optimized Method for Reticulocyte Counting: Simple, Accurate, and Comparable to Flow Cytometry

Background: Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells with RNA, spending the final stages of their maturation in the peripheral blood. The number of reticulocytes in the peripheral blood is the salient evidence of the effectiveness of bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Currently, reticulocyte count is done manually or automatically in clinical laboratories. Difficulties and limitations of...

Investigation on Applicability of Information Theory to Prediction of Operator Performance in Diagnosis Tasks at Nuclear Power Plants

This paper investigates the applicability of information theory to predicting operator performance in diagnosis tasks at nuclear power plants (NPPs). Some general descriptions about diagnosis tasks in a main control room (MCR) are provided and information theory conventionally used in the studies of human information processing is briefly reviewed. Then, as an alternative to classical informati...

Bilateral composition operators on vector-valued Hardy spaces

Let $T$ be a bounded operator on the Banach space $X$ and $ph$ be an analytic self-map of the unit disk $Bbb{D}$‎. ‎We investigate some operator theoretic properties of‎ ‎bilateral composition operator $C_{ph‎, ‎T}‎: ‎f ri T circ f circ ph$ on the vector-valued Hardy space $H^p(X)$ for $1 leq p leq‎ ‎+infty$.‎ ‎Compactness and weak compactness of $C_{ph‎, ‎T}$ on $H^p(X)$‎ ‎are characterized an...

Multi-objective Differential Evolution for the Flow shop Scheduling Problem with a Modified Learning Effect

This paper proposes an effective multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (MDES) to solve a permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) with modified Dejong's learning effect. The proposed algorithm combines the basic differential evolution (DE) with local search and borrows the selection operator from NSGA-II to improve the general performance.  First the problem is encoded with a...
