In Thorbecke and Rietveld (1994) a weighted least squares technique has been introduced to estimate short, stable and accurate extrapolation operators. This technique produced results which were comparable with the results of Holberg (1988); Blacquiere et al. (1989); Hale (1991); Nautiyal et al. (1993). In this abstract the weighted least squares technique is improved by defining different obje...

This is a continuation of and a development of a debate between John Keown and me. The issue discussed is whether, in Britain, an unpaid system of blood donation promotes and is justified by its promotion of altruism. Doubt is cast on the notions that public policies can, and, if they can, that they should, be aimed at the promotion and expression of altruism rather than of self-interest, espec...

The sense of smell is mediated by GPCRs in the odorant receptor (OR) family. Greer et al. report a new family of odor detectors, MS4As, that have similar cellular localization and chemodetection ability as ORs but are not GPCRs and follow a strikingly different logic of odor coding at the periphery.

This paper presents a decomposed co-design optimization framework for an electric vehicle powertrain equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). We jointly design the sizes of components and energy management strategy, considering dynamics transmission. Specifically, we divide resulting nonlinear problem into separate hierarchical subproblems leveraging concept Analytical Target Cas...
