An optimization problem is formulated to determine the optimum controller parameters by minimizing the 2nd norm of the displacement transmissibility.
This MPEC formulation minimizes the 2nd-order work expression subject to the set of constraints describing the complete complementarity system (in mixed static-kinematic variables) governing simultaneously the two adjacent equilibrium configurations, namely the current one and its neighboring state.
Those riots were touched off by Japan's bid to join the United Nations Security Council and by new Japanese textbooks that minimize Japan's 20th-century history of atrocities against the Chinese and the Koreans.
The purpose of this research note is to review the challenges and strategies used in a school-based study of bullying and cyber bullying (n = 916) to minimize the attrition of primary (4th grade), middle (7th grade), and high school (10th grade) students and their parents over the three-year study duration.
To minimize sampling bias, every 5th name was selected from both alphabetical databases of individuals who had attended the clinics at least once during the 12 months prior to the study start date of April 1 , 2003
However, PD patients did not successfully learn to minimize object roll until the 4th trial as significant differences between the 3rd trial and remaining trials still existed (p<0.05).
The objective function of model is to minimize the total cost of 0th DMU.
"Measures and safeguards have been implemented to minimize overall risk exposure of 1st NAEF members while deployed," said the ex-soldier.
Whereas the first exposure fitness function assesses the median field values, the second one, f 4, also represents the spatial homogeneity (i.e., absence of large spatial variations) of the field strengths, by minimizing the maximal (95th percentiles) field values instead of the median field values in f 3: f_{4}=100frac{E^{text{ESL}}_{95}}{E^{text{ESL}}_{text{95max}}}, (9).
Enormous windows flood the space with light, a 19th-century effort to minimize the number of gas lanterns in a place filled with paper.
