Erratum: Active Subspace Methods in Theory and Practice: Applications to Kriging Surfaces

This erratum corrects the statements of Theorems 3.2, 3.3, 3.6, and 3.7 from Constantine, Dow, and Wang [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 36 (2014), pp. A1500–A1524], all of which contain a similar minor error in the application of the triangle inequality. It also corrects a missing minus sign in (5.3). These errors do not change the main conclusions of the paper.

Active Subspace Methods in Theory and Practice: Applications to Kriging Surfaces

Many multivariate functions in engineering models vary primarily along a few directions in the space of input parameters. When these directions correspond to coordinate directions, one may apply global sensitivity measures to determine the most influential parameters. However, these methods perform poorly when the directions of variability are not aligned with the natural coordinates of the inp...

Genetically modified mice- Methods, applications and outlook

Background & Aim: Transgenic mice, of tengenerated by random integration of foreign genes into the mouse genome or by targeted mutation in a particular gene, have demonstrated to be a very effective tool for studying gene function in living things. In this review article, we discussed on the current methods of generating genetically-modified mice and their related problems and then investigated...

Microdosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications

Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...
