Multicanonical MCMC (Multicanonical Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Multicanonical Monte Carlo) is discussed as a method of rare event sampling. Starting from a review of the generic framework of importance sampling, multicanonical MCMC is introduced, followed by applications in random matrices, random graphs, and chaotic dynamical systems. Replica exchange MCMC (also known as parallel tempering or M...

This paper proposes a simplified solution procedure to the model presented by Akinc and Roodman. The Benders’ decomposition procedure for analyzing this model has been developed, and its shortcomings have been highlighted. Here, the special nature of the problem is exploited which allowed us to develop a new algorithm through surrogating method. The two methods are compared by several numerical...

We show that small, specialist libraries (SSLs) can play different organisational roles and serve their users in a different way to more standard academic or commercial libraries. Most digital library (DL) frameworks and models are essentially based on surrogating the services that academic or commercial libraries supply, and so such frameworks may not be applicable to SSLs. This paper discusse...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common and devastating dementia. Simple and practical biomarkers for AD are urgently required for accurate diagnosis and to facilitate the development of disease-modifying interventions. The subjects for the study were selected on the basis of PiB amyloid imaging by PET. Forty PiB-positive (PiB+) individuals, including cognitively healthy controls (HC), and ...

Purpose: To examine the effect of career skills and servant-leadership on intrinsic success with surrogating proactive personality traits.
 Design/method/approach: Structural equation modeling has been applied to extract statistical finding by applying MPlus Software.
 Findings: Proactive traits mediates between relationship skills, servant-leadership, success.
