We propose an algorithm for optimizations in which the gradients contain stochastic noise. This arises, example, structural when computations of forces and stresses rely on methods involving Monte Carlo sampling, such as quantum or neural network states, are performed devices that have intrinsic Our proposed is based combination two ingredients: update rule derived from steepest-descent method,...

Nanofluids have attracted significant research interest for their promising application in enhanced oil recovery. One striking feature leading to the outstanding efficiency of nanofluids recovery is structure nanoparticles, which induces oscillatory structural forces confined space between fluid–fluid interfaces or air–liquid and liquid–solid interfaces. To promote understanding recovery, we re...

This paper tests whether structural change in US agriculture is an important channel to TFP growth and evaluates the relative impact of (i) public research and education policies, (ii) private R&D and market forces, and (iii) government farm programs on structural change. We specify a structural econometric model, fit it to US state aggregate data, 1953–1982, and use the associated reduced-form...

Discovering hidden features in a representation without being fixated to a single perspective of viewing it is one of the crucial acts in creative activities. The process of designing through conceptual sketches is no exception; designers should be able to discover in an unexpected way visual/spatial features of sketched elements which were not intended when the elements were being sketched. Ho...

Currently, ‘dark tourism’ is gaining popularity as a new tourism concept. Dark tourism is different from simple leisure, and its purpose is based on the succession of local grief or praying for dead people. ICT can be made more effective by optimising the potential of dark tourism. In this study, dark tourism will be analysed in terms of ICT.

Measuring personality is a complex task. Besides difficult content-based problems there are some psychometric issues to be met, i. e. socially desirable answering tendencies. The present study uses simulation-based objective personality measurement to meet these psychometric issues. Computer-based “guard” and “stray” scenars are developed and tested in two samples of Special Forces applicants r...
