INDEX strategy

Most databases, e.g. the World Patents Index, provide a "Learn database" function (LWPl) to give the opportunity for training in the specific retrieval strategies for patents. 

This decomposition suggests the strategy for parallel computing. In the simplest implementation, we distribute the job over processors, where Nk is the number of K values in our problem. Each processor is labeled by an index, k = 0,1,..., Nk — 1, associated with a particular value of K. We distribute the wave packet vector, v, over the processors such that processor k contains v( , k) and is responsible for everything related to its propagation, in particular, for computing the action of on v( , fe). Except for the work associated with the Coriolis terms, all of the computation is done locally on each processor, proceeds independently, and involves no communication. 

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. It is important for clinicians to understand AF, because it is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality and because many strategies for drug therapy are available. Drugs used to treat AF often have a narrow therapeutic index and a broad adverse effect profile. 

The next step in this study is to test this control algorithm on the actual laboratory reactor. The major difficulty is the direct measurement of the state variables in the reactor (T, M, I, W). Proposed strategy is to measure total mols of polymer (T) with visible light absorption and monomer concentration (M) with IR absorption. Initiator concentration (I) can be monitored by titrating the n-butyl lithium with water and detecting the resultant butane gas in a thermal conductivity cell. Finally W can be obtained by refractive index measurements in conjuction with the other three measurements. Preliminary experiments indicate that this strategy will result in fast and accurate measurements of the state vector x. 

One of the most popular such techniques is parallel tempering in the canonical ensemble, for which the index parameter is temperature [13-15], While parallel tempering (or replica exchange) strategies had been independently proposed on multiple occasions in various scientific areas, perhaps the earliest seed of the idea can be found in early work by Swendsen and Wang [37]. 

Factors such as hazard type and source credibility have been identified as important in the establishment of effective strategies for risk communication (Frewer et al., 1997). One means by which to measure credibility is the Meyer s credibility index (McComas and Trumbo, 2001). This has proven useful for measuring source credibility in the context of environmental health-risk controversies, and it would seem to be relevant for measuring food risks in a food crisis situation. A key element of this credibility index is trust. 

Dan Resasco (with colleagues Phuong Do, Steven Crossley, Malee Santikuna-porn University of Oklahoma) examine strategies for improving important fuel properties catalytically—e.g., cetane number and threshold soot index. They show that proper choice of catalysts and reaction conditions can significantly improve these widely used measures of fuel performance. 

Here 4 is the target state vector at time index k and Wg contains two random variables which describe the unknown process error, which is assumed to be a Gaussian random variable with expectation zero and covariance matrix Q. In addition to the target dynamic model, a measurement equation is needed to implement the Kalman filter. This measurement equation maps the state vector t. to the measurement domain. In the next section different measurement equations are considered to handle various types of association strategies.
