We study approachability theory in the presence of constraints. Given a repeated game with vector payoffs, we study the pairs of sets (A, D) in the payoff space such that Player 1 can guarantee that the long-run average payoff converges to the set A, while the average payoff always remains in D. We provide a full characterization of these pairs whe...

Diffusion-weighted (DW-) MRS investigates non-invasively microstructural properties of tissue by probing metabolite diffusion in vivo. Despite the growing interest in DW-MRS for clinical applications, little has been published on the reproducibility of this technique. In this study, we explored the optimization of a single-voxel DW-semi-LASER seque...

AbstractThe efficiency of airplane turbines must be improved by optimizing the characteristics of the labyrinth seals and improving their operational efficiency. The response surface is plotted as a function of the geometric parameters for the labyrinth seals of gas-turbine engines. On that basis, an optimized labyrinth seal is developed. The chara...
The concept of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services was created mainly in response to traffic congestions. In this research we focus on UAM services such as those provided by Uber Elevate. We therefore present a framework to solve the Urban Air Mobility Problem with Time Windows (UAMP-TW) under dynamic demand, using an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Sear...

To give providers a better understanding of how to use the electronic health record (EHR), improve efficiency, and reduce burnout. All ambulatory providers were offered at least 1 one-on-one session with an "optimizer" focusing on filling gaps in EHR knowledge and lack of customization. Success was measured using pre- and post-surveys that consiste...
Za uspešno obratovanje vsako podjetje potrebuje vire financiranja. Za optimizacijo poslovanja in dolgoročni uspeh mora biti podjetje likvidno, solventno in dobičkonosno. Podjetje je sicer lahko dobičkonosno in solventno, vendar če ni likvidno, ne more pokriti svojih kratkoročnih obveznosti. V tem primeru lahko podjetje terjatve proda in jih tako pr...

Ultrasound (US) imaging is clinically used to guide needle insertions because it is safe, real-time, and low cost. The localization of the needle in the ultrasound image, however, remains a challenging problem due to specular reflection off the smooth surface of the needle, speckle noise, and similar line-like anatomical features. This study presen...

In this paper, we have formulated quantum beetle antennae search (QBAS), a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, and a variant of beetle antennae search (BAS). We apply it to portfolio selection, a well-known finance problem. Quantum computing is gaining immense popularity among the scientific community as it outsmarts the conventional computing i...
The vortex pump is a kind of impurity pump. Characteristics of vortex pumps are their recessed, semi-open impeller and their enlarged gap between the impeller and the casing. The gap and impeller give the pump a good non-clogging performance. The pump is widely used in transporting sewage water or mixed liquid containing fiber or large particle. Ho...

Sugarcane bagasse waste biomass (SBWB) efficacy for the adsorption of Zr(IV) was investigated in batch and column modes. The process variables i.e. pH 1–4 (A), adsorbent dosage 0.0–0.3 g (B), and Zr(IV) ions initial concentration 25–200 mg/L (C) were studied. The experiments were run under central composite design (CCD) and data was analysed by res...
