Robustness and uncertainty estimation are two challenging topics in full-waveform inversion (FWI). To overcome these challenges, we present the methodology of random-objective waveform (ROWI), which adopts a multi-objective framework preconditioned stochastic gradient descent optimization algorithm. The use one shot per iteration avoids using redundant data reduces computational cost. Pareto so...

A simple direct correlation analysis of individual counts between different populations often fails to characterize the true nature of population interactions; however, the most common data type available for population studies is count data, and one of the most important objectives in population and community ecology is to identify interactions among populations. Here, I examine the dynamics o...

Innovative changes in undergraduate Nursing programs have brought about new methodologies and the need for cost evaluation. This study aims to develop a model for cost estimation, and to estimate educational costs of an integrated Nursing curriculum at a public university. This is a case study conducted in stages: model development, data collection, analysis and interpretation. The cost-constru...

CP-nets and their variants constitute one of the main AI approaches for specifying and reasoning about preferences. CI-nets, in particular, are a CP-inspired formalism for representing ordinal preferences over sets of goods, which are typically required to be monotonic. Considering also that goods often come in multi-sets rather than sets, a natural question is whether CI-nets can be used more ...

JCPH – Vol. 67, n 2 – mars–avril 2014 176 2015 offer an excellent opportunity for pharmacists to share progress on their journey to excellence, to highlight and celebrate successes, and to educate others about the value proposition of pharmacists in medication-related outcomes. Also highlighted at PPC were the CSHP 2015 progress charts, facilitated through data collection by the Hospital Pharma...
