Two hypotheses can be formulated to explain host specificity: either it can be explained by the phylogenetic position of the strains, or by the association of virulence genes enabling a pathological convergence of phylogenically distant strains.
Figure 4 shows that there is a region between 0.9 and 0.95 for the bias parameter a that enables a rapid convergence of the calculation of the Class I and Class II reflectance with the Monte Carlo method with this importance sampling implementation.
The use of this function enables a faster convergence of the algorithm by reducing the necessary number of generations.
So, in random interleaving case, the replica mask allows more exchanges and, consequently, enables a better convergence of the iterative process.
The mass balance non linear equation system was solved by the Levenberg Marquardt method [47, 48], which enables a faster convergence of the solutions than the Gauss Newton iteration.
The Henyey-Greenstein probability density function that we used in Eq. (8), whose bias strength determined by the coefficient a, enabled a rapid convergence of the Importance Sampling method for the cases that we reported in Sec. 4 as a result of the strong bias used.
Think of this as the hidden benefit of an iPod generation where the tools and networks of the digital age really are blurring old lines, enabling a cultural convergence.
In reference [26], the authors discuss how SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) can be leveraged to realize the concept of Network as a Service (NaaS), thus enabling the convergence of virtual networking and cloud computing.
The resulting architectural morphologies allow for a convergence of aesthetic and functional concerns, enabling structural optimisation through the locally differentiated aggregation of material.
An Enhanced Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (EICA) is proposed aimed at enabling the ICA algorithm to escape from local optima faster, thus enabling faster convergence of the basic ICA algorithm.
