In this paper, we consider the stochastic iterative counterpart of value iteration scheme wherein only noisy and possibly biased approximations Bellman operator are available. We call approximate (AVI) scheme. Neural networks often used as function approximators, in order to counter Bellman’s curse dimensionality. they operator. Because neural typically trained using sample data, errors biases ...

Purpose: The new non-invasive arterial stiffness indices, velocity pulse index (AVI) and pressure volume (API) are known to be associated with cardiovascular disease risk. present study aimed examine the “dose-response” associations between AVI, API Framingham risk score (FCVRS). Methods: This survey included individuals indices collected at age 18 years older. We used Pearson’s correlation coe...

This study describes a real time delay estimation method using probe data with adaptive signal control algorithm, “CARREN” (Control Algorithm Retuning paRameters with self performance EvaluatioN) [1]. So far, CARREN supposed the use of AVI (Automatic Vehicle Identifier) data to estimate the total delay on approaching each intersection. In this paper, the application of CARREN using probe data i...

INTRODUCTION Automatic visual inspection takes a relevant place in defect detection of industrial production. In this field a fundamental role is played by methods for the detection of superficial anomalies on manufactures. In particular, several systems have been proposed in order to reduce the burden of human operators, avoiding the drawbacks due to the subjectivity of judgement criteria (Kwa...

INTRODUCTION The defect detection on manufactures is of utmost importance in the optimization of industrial processes (Garcia 2005). In fact, the industrial inspection of engineering materials and products tends to the detection , localization and classification of flaws as quickly and as accurately as possible in order to improve the production quality. In this field a relevant area is constit...

The phase field approach is widely used to model fracture behaviors due the absence of need track crack topology and ability predict nucleation branching. In this work, asynchronous variational integrator (AVI) adapted for dynamic brittle fracture. AVI derived from Hamilton's principle allows each element in mesh have its own local time step that may be different others'. While displacement exp...

The goal of this note is to present some new results on the application of AVI algorithms to the Simo-Marsden-Krishnaprasad beam model based on a description using rotation matrices. This follows our earlier work on the Euler-Bernoulli beam and thin-shell models with Kirchhoff-Love constraints and various boundary conditions. We consider the effect of large deflections, when the beam is subject...

Abstract Background Ceftibuten (CTB) is an oral cephalosporin active against Enterobacterales approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1995. Avibactam (AVI) a potent inhibitor of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), serine carbapenemases AmpC that can be administered orally. We evaluated vitro activity CTB-AVI molecularly characterized produced most common (BLs) assessed AVI concen...

Background: Although ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) has become an important option for treating adults and children, no data or recommendations exist neonates. We report a neonatal sepsis case due to CAZ/AVI-resistant blaKPC-2-harboring Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying blaVEB-25 the use of customized active surveillance program in conjunction with enhanced infection control measures. Methods: Th...
