Motivated by applications in energy management, this paper presents the Multi-Armed Risk-Aware Bandit (MaRaB) algorithm. With the goal of limiting the exploration of risky arms, MaRaB takes as arm quality its conditional value at risk. When the usersupplied risk level goes to 0, the arm quality tends toward the essential infimum of the arm distribution density, and MaRaB tends toward the MIN mu...

vulnerability and contamination risk assessment is of great importance in karst aquifer management. because of vastness of karst in zagros, natural conditions and human activity within the region of aquifer, pollution emission has become one of the most important challenges in front of zagros aquifers. the purpose of this study is to assess marab aquifer vulnerability, using riske model and, de...

introduction hydrograph of springs represents clearly all physical processes that control ground water flows inside aquifer (kuto et al., 2012: 41). study of the curve can reveal information about structure and function of aquifer, particularly hydrodynamic parameters including permeability and storage (troch et al., 1993: 228). analysis of recession curve has the advantage to calculate paramet...

Treatment of urinary tract infections is today a challenge due to the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). There is an urgent need for new treatment strategies for multidrug-resistant UPEC and preferably with targets that have low potential for development of resistance. Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) are novel and poten...

fleas are the most common and important external parasites worldwide and also serves as vectors of various pathogens for humans and animals. the study aimed to determine the prevalence of pulex irritants in sheep herds and residential areas of villages in kurdsitan province, iran. a total of 2,900 sheep were randomly selected from 48 flocks and 630 residential areas of 18 villages from november...
