The aim of parameter estimation is an adaptation of the model function to the observations made to gain model parameters which describe the observed data best. In NONMEM this is done by the minimization of the extended least square objective Oels function, which provides maximum likelihood estimates under Gaussian conditions [13]. The equation calculating the Oels function is given in the following ... 

ADAPT-LODI, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The ADAPT model assimilates meteorological data provided by observations and models (in particular, by Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System [COAMPS ]) to construct the wind and turbulence fields. Particle positions are updated using a Lagrangian particle approach that uses a skewed (non-Gaussian) probability density function (Nasstrom et al. 1999 Ermak and Nasstrom 2000). 

We present here an adaptive modelling mechanisms in plants to gain an understanding of the principles of design and processes and to apply these findings toward developing new superior material/structure concepts such as composites in multi-phased and functionally graded materials. 

The general problem of spin-adaptation using multiple vacuua depending upon the model function the component of the wave operator exp(T ) acts upon, is a nontrivial and rather involved exercise. Here we will consider the simplest yet physically the most natural tmncation scheme in the rank of cluster operators T, where each such operator is truncated at the excitation rank two. For generating the working equations for the spin-adapted theory in this case, it is useful to classify the various types of excitation operators leading to various virtual CSFs as ... 

Since the two active orbitals belong to different symmetries, the CAS is two-dimensional and both the model functions are closed. The SS-MRCC theory is trivially spin-adapted in this case, and the performance of the various SS-MRPT variants can be assessed with respect to both the FCI results and the SS-MRCC results.

To understand the dynamic aspects of accidents, the process leading to the loss can be viewed as an adaptive feedback function where the safety control system performance degrades over time as the system attempts to meet a complex set of goals and values. Adaptation is critical in understanding accidents, and the adaptive feedback mechanism inherent in the model allows a STAMP analysis to incorporate adaptation as a fundamental system property. 

The Ansatz we have chosen for our unitary group-based MRCC methods [45-48] is designed to closely mimic the Jeziorski-Monkhorst (JM) Ansatz [51, 83] in order to follow quite closely the developments in the analogous non-spin-adapted theories. As mentioned, we choose a set of Gel fand states, 0, to denote the model functions. We next introduce our spin-free JM-inspired Ansatz in Eq. (10) for the wave operator acting on 0 s. Our choice differs in two aspects from the traditional spinorbital-based JM... 

In the nemal network-based adaptive control scheme, a neurocontroller is trained to approximate an inverse model of the plant. We have introduced an adaptive activation function for increasing the training rate of the neural controller, and the proposed function is described in this section. 

The activation function of the neurons in the hidden layer is the adaptive activation function (4.1). Models II and III are alternative neural network architectm es that can be used to model a d3oiamical system. Model III is similar to model IV except for the additional external adder and separate network for the plant input and output parts. Model III can be used to implement high-order dynamical swtem models using hardware neural networks like the ETANN.

Neural networks model the functionality of the brain. They learn from examples, whereby the weights of the neurons are adapted on the basis of training data.

Molecular orbitals are not unique. The same exact wave function could be expressed an infinite number of ways with different, but equivalent orbitals. Two commonly used sets of orbitals are localized orbitals and symmetry-adapted orbitals (also called canonical orbitals). Localized orbitals are sometimes used because they look very much like a chemist s qualitative models of molecular bonds, lone-pair electrons, core electrons, and the like. Symmetry-adapted orbitals are more commonly used because they allow the calculation to be executed much more quickly for high-symmetry molecules. Localized orbitals can give the fastest calculations for very large molecules without symmetry due to many long-distance interactions becoming negligible. 

There are two basic types of unconstrained optimization algorithms (I) those reqmring function derivatives and (2) those that do not. The nonderivative methods are of interest in optimization applications because these methods can be readily adapted to the case in which experiments are carried out directly on the process. In such cases, an ac tual process measurement (such as yield) can be the objec tive function, and no mathematical model for the process is required. Methods that do not reqmre derivatives are called direc t methods and include sequential simplex (Nelder-Meade) and Powell s method. The sequential simplex method is quite satisfac tory for optimization with two or three independent variables, is simple to understand, and is fairly easy to execute. Powell s method is more efficient than the simplex method and is based on the concept of conjugate search directions. 

The Zincke reaction has also been adapted for the solid phase. Dupas et al. prepared NADH-model precursors 58, immobilized on silica, by reaction of bound amino functions 57 with Zincke salt 8 (Scheme 8.4.19) for subsequent reduction to the 1,4-dihydropyridines with sodium dithionite. Earlier, Ise and co-workers utilized the Zincke reaction to prepare catalytic polyelectrolytes, starting from poly(4-vinylpyridine). Formation of Zincke salts at pyridine positions within the polymer was achieved by reaction with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, and these sites were then functionalized with various amines. The resulting polymers showed catalytic activity in ester hydrolysis. ... 

The minimum number of postulates of the model of a desorption process with no explicit analytical expression of the heating schedule are required if the primary output data are treated according to Eqs. (10) and (12), viz. by numerical or graphical derivations and integrations of the recorded pressure data. After an adaptation of the analyzer, these operations can be performed by means of electrical circuits. The known temperature-time relationship (either in the form of an analytical function or established...
