To extend available monoobjective optimization methods to multiobjective and multidisciplinary optimization, the construction of a suitable resultant objective function(in deterministic method-DM) or a fitness function(in genetic algorithm-GA) is important. An objective function combination method (OFCM) of constructing such a function for constrained optimization problems is suggested. How to use
During the prolonged course of chronic viral infection there is a continuous reciprocal interaction between the host immune defence system and the viral immunogens, and viral genetic mutations capable of circumventing host immune defence could be selected for. Our observation of increasing prevalence of heterogeneity in the DNA sequence coding for the ‘a1 determinant of HBsAg in patients with pres
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen, vars kontext är staden Jönköping – känd som Smålands Jerusalem – och dess omnejd, vill besvara frågan: Hur utformades och användes berättelsen om missionen i Kina för att åstadkomma och upprätthålla missionsvänskapets hängivenhet? Det var vid skiftet mellan 1880- och 1890-talen, under växande arbetslöshet, bostadsnöd och fattigdom, med konfrontatio
When adopting the view of the multinational corporation (MNC) as a transnational corporation, subsidiaries become strategic partners. It is important to recognize that within the MNC knowledge may originate also from subsidiaries and thus flow in different directions. The aim of the article is to understand the role of multiple knowledge flows when international retail firms enter new markets. A q
Objectives: The authors aimed to evaluate whether blood cadmium (B-Cd), lead (B-Pb) and mercury (B-Hg) in children differ regionally in 9 countries, and to identify factors correlating with exposure. Material and Methods: The authors performed a cross-sectional study of children aged 7–14 years, living in 2007–2008 in urban, rural, or potentially polluted (“hot spot”) areas (ca. 50 children from e
Technology has now globally gained a prominent place in national economic policymaking. Innovation is something to protect; access to technologies such as high-end chips is something to contest. For the West, discussion of national control over technology represents a departure from the globalization era’s understanding of trade, complementarity, and mutual prosperity.In Asia’s high-growth economi
Background: Capsule endoscopy reading is time consuming, and readers are required to maintain attention so as not to miss significant findings. Deep convolutional neural networks can recognise relevant findings, possibly exceeding human performances and reducing the reading time of capsule endoscopy. Our primary aim was to assess the non-inferiority of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted reading
The optimal selection of characteristic bands and retrieval models for the hyperspectral retrieval of soil heavy metal concentrations poses a significant challenge. Additionally, satellite-based hyperspectral retrieval encounters several issues, including atmospheric effects, limitations in temporal and radiometric resolution, and data acquisition, among others. Given this, the retrieval performan
Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of
This study aims to analyze the impact of digital transformation on internal control of CCB and examine how digital transformation reshapes CCB’s internal control framework (based on the COSO framework) and the challenges the company encounters in digital transformation.This paper adopts agency theory as the theoretical perspective and uses COSO as the main framework.Based on the comprehensive case
