In the proposed algorithm a variable vector step size is used on the basis of maximizing the decrease of the mean square deviation (MSD) between the optimal and adaptive filter weight vectors at each iteration.
This paper outlines a new learning algorithm, called cost-time sensitive classification, designed for minimizing tangible costs (which includes TC and waiting cost (WC)) as well as maximizing the decrease of the intangible costs (also called MC).
In a context in which networks are increasingly being used as management tools to adress e.g. conservation or pest management, knowing the realized modularity, and developing methods to estimate which species have the highest impact on it, can allow the design of efficient policies to maximize, or decrease, the ability of network modules to interact.
We interpret this as showing that a triple junction provides the optimal geometrical structure for continental break-up under the conditions of model 10 – that most resembles the Afar triple junction – as it maximizes the rate of decrease of the dissipative mechanical work required for multi-directional extension.
Combining a micromechanical analysis, material index selection and LCA shows that: fibre content, Young's modulus, and aspect ratio have to be maximized to achieve a decrease of the environmental footprint of flax/PP biocomposites.
Artificial insemination of a critical number of sperm, selected to result in slightly less than maximal fertility for control animals, will maximize the probability of detecting a decrease in fertility if the same critical number of sperm is inseminated for treated animals as for control animals.
It is likely that the development of drugs that incorporate natural materials will be able to reduce side effects, decrease costs, and maximize the benefits of natural product formulations to avoid the aforementioned problems.
Some specific considerations are of utmost importance when using anticoagulants in the elderly to maximize safety of these treatments, including decreased renal function, co-morbidities and risk of falls, altered pharmacodynamics of anticoagulants especially VKAs, association with antiplatelet agents, patient education.
Their analysis showed that decreasing the transmission range of the nodes as we move toward the BS decreases maximizes the lifetime of the nodes.
Unless the risk of surgery is high or the expected life span is short, pathologic fractures of weight-bearing bones should be stabilized to maximize the quality of life and decrease hospital costs.
Concentrations for mutation library screening were chosen to be approximately 2 to 3 times higher than the EC50 values for the ligands to maximize the sensitivity of detecting decreases in signaling due to the mutation in each clone.
