This concept is adopted in order to reduce uni-axially loaded column to an axially loaded equivalent pin-ended column with greater length (El-Metwally 1994; Afefy et al. 2009; Afefy 2012).
However, the high dimensionality of the fitted model may present a problem for the second-stage multivariate meta-analysis, even when reduced to uni-dimensional summaries following (4)–(5).
Moreover, the overall cumulative risk ∑ β x t, ℓ for a given exposure x t in (6a) is available also when the bi-dimensional exposure-lag-response is reduced to uni-dimensional exposure-response relationship, a step often needed in multi-site studies [ 14].
This equivalence is interesting since it can reduce a bi-dimensional model to an equivalent uni-dimensional model.
The benefit of the aggregation is that the multi-objective optimization problem can be easily transformed into uni-objective optimization problem, which helps reduce the complexity of this problem.
Sharon Walpole, the chief executive of Not Going to Uni, says some large employers plan to reduce their graduate intake when the apprenticeship levy — a tax on employers with a wage bill of £3m or more – is launched in spring 2017.
The USA rowing team hope to reduce their chances of getting ill by wearing protective uni-suits, while triathletes and marathon swimmers will compete in Copacabana Beach surf where "the chance of infection is very likely", according to Kristina Mena, an expert in waterborne viruses at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
For uni-modal posterior probability distribution functions (PDF), the proposed hybrid method can reduce the computational cost by an order of magnitude with the same computational resources.
Operational techniques used by longwall mines to reduce the burst risk include reducing the depth of the web, reducing the the speed of the shearer, uni-directional cutting, and/or avoiding double cuts at the gate ends.
Importantly, it was shown that Beclin-1 fails to reciprocally reduce the anti-apoptotic potential of Bcl-2, demonstrating that the interaction with anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins uni-directionally limits autophagy initiation.
In this contribution we propose a method to reduce estimates from DLNMs to summaries defined in only one dimension of predictor or lags, re-expressing the fit in terms of reduced parameters for the related uni-dimensional basis functions.
