Kriging is a useful method for developing metamodels for product design optimization. The most popular kriging method, known as ordinary kriging, uses a constant mean in the model. In this article, a modified kriging method is proposed, which has an unknown mean model. Therefore it is called blind kriging. The unknown mean model is identified from experimental data using a Bayesian variable sel...

Researches and evaluation of the different ideas on the subject of design, the complexity of this field of science and providing perspective theories in this regard lead the experts to look deeper into the subject, thus creating descriptive opinions in this regard. Taking another look at this issue will lead the designers and architects to consider a targeted effort based on the knowledge as ...

In this paper, we design and analyze a Newton-like blind equalization algorithm for the APSK system. Specifically, we exploit the principle of minimum entropy deconvolution and derive a blind equalization cost function for APSK signals and optimize it using Newton's method. We study and evaluate the steady-state excess mean square error performance of the proposed algorithm using the concept of...

Blind image restoration is a kind method of image processing by estimating both the original image and the point spread function from degraded images, when there is unknown or not completely know the prior knowledge of the original image and point spread function of imaging. However, blind image restoration is a complex and intensive computing process, and increasing processing speed has been a...

Conducting numerical investigation for the behaviour of a blind-bolted connection with concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) and an open section could emerge several convergence issues due to its complex mechanism interactions between components. This paper attempts identify address these provide reliable solution techniques that can be adopted achieve accurately predict CFST connections. Three dif...

In order to improve the optimizing efficiency, one dimensional blind-walking optimization method is proposed, which can be realized by halving step or doubling step for the applicability test condition of the sensing point. The optimum point, then, can be reached at high rate by doubling step and converged by halving step. Current point should be updated in whole design space. The flow chart of...

BACKGROUND Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by paroxysmal facial pain attacks. Adequate prophylactic drug therapy is often limited by the lack of efficacy and intolerance due to central nervous system side effects. Subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin type A are a promising treatment option for patients with unsatisfactory response to drug therapy or neurosurgical intervention. Its e...

in this research work, the frequency domain (fd) of surface geochemical data was analyzed to decompose the complex geochemical patterns related to different depths of the mineral deposit. in order to predict the variation in mineralization in the depth and identify the deep geochemical anomalies and blind mineralization using the surface geochemical data for the dalli cu-au porphyry deposit, a ...
