The sum of squared error norms between reaction forces in the plastic range and the target forces are minimized under a volume constraint.
Note that the aorta descendens was chosen to minimize (a) partial volume effects because of the wide aorta diameter, (b) motion effects because of mainly axial movement in this aortic area, and (c) disturbances from heart activity because of its position located beneath the heart.
We formulate a variational principal for the balloon system, and seek to determine a shape that minimizes energy subject to a volume constraint.
All PCR reaction were performed using Hi fidelity Taq-Gold (Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK) to minimize polymerase error in a volume of 25 µl using a touchdown method, starting with a 60°C annealing temperature and ending at 50°C or 48°C.
This result is because the algorithm minimizes the volume of a three-dimensional reliability region, that is, a three-dimensional ellipse.
The MS stabilizing functional is proposed to build a model that minimizes the volume with anomalous model parameters (Last and Kubik 1983), focusing on the volumes in which the model parameters differ from the given a priori model.
For example, it may be very tempting for clinicians to adopt a ventilator strategy that minimizes tidal volume, as was employed in the ARDS Network protocol, but to permit much higher arterial carbon dioxide tensions than were allowed in that protocol.
We demonstrate the use of this scheme to minimize the volume of a duct with a hypothetical power law model incorporating the effect of residence time (function of inlet Mach number) on the electrical conductivity.
The optimization of the RT profile has been cast in a generalized form either by maximizing heat transfer rate for a given fin volume or by minimizing fin volume for a given heat transfer duty.
Furthermore, we applied a sampling strategy to optimize gray matter sampling, which minimizes partial volume effects and nonspecific white matter binding, which may confound detection of regional changes on PIB-PET.
