Pharmacokinetics is a fundamental scientific discipline that underpins applied therapeutics. Patients need to be prescribed appropriate medicines for a clinical condition. The medicine is chosen on the basis of an evidencebased approach to clinical practice and assured to be compatible with any other medicines or alternative therapies the patient may be taking. The design of a dosage regimen is...

In contrast to other prominent models of belief change models based on epistemic entrenchment have up to now been applicable only in the context of very strong packages of requirements for belief revision This paper decomposes the axiomatization of entrenchment into independent modules Among other things it is shown how belief revision satisfying only the basic postulates of Alchourr on G arden...

A concise guide to very basic bicategory theory, from the definition of a bicategory to the coherence theorem.

This chapter is mostly a review, discussing unique factorization of positive integers, unique factorization of polynomials whose coefficients are rational or real or complex, signs of permutations, and matrix algebra. Sections 1–2 concern unique factorization of positive integers. Section 1 proves the division and Euclidean algorithms, used to compute greatest common divisors. Section 2 establi...

Motivation Most problems in nature have several (possibly conflicting) objectives to be satisfied. Many of these problems are frequently treated as single-objective optimization problems by transforming all but one objective into constraints. What is a multiobjective optimization problem? The Multiobjective Optimization Problem (MOP) (also called multicriteria optimization, multiperformance or ...
