Multiple iteration

Obviously we should not allow multiple iterations of the same rule to increase the value of the consequent. If this were to be allowed then one could obtain any final value by simply re-iterating the same rule sufficient times. But redundancies in rules arise in subtle ways, e.g, B => A and C => A where B <-> C, i.e, B is another name for C. Finally, it can be shown that even if the chain of relation between B and C contains logical connectives other than <->, then allowing two successive inferences to increase the value of the consequence above that inferred by the strongest alone can lead to problems. 

Controlling the complexity of a model is called regularization. To this end, hold-out data is important. In order to benefit from a training set that is as large as possible and still to be able to measure the performance on unseen data, cross validation is used. It does multiple iterations of training and testing on different partitionings of the data. Leave-one-out is certainly the most prominent concept here [154] however, other ways to partition are in use as well. 

In the deductive process of identifying root causes, known facts are assembled and used to develop and test one or more possible scenarios. The process normally requires multiple iterations of the cycle shown in Figure 9-9 until at least one plausible scenario is identified that fits all the known facts. 

Domino reactions that involve multiple iterations of the same elementary... 

Nature accomplishes many syntheses-even those of complex molecules-by sequences of elementary steps. In the last few decades, the blueprint of catalyzed cascade reactions has found fertile soil through the advent of transition metal catalysis in laboratories. Scrutinizing catalytic cycles and mechanistic insight has paved the way for designing new sequential transformations catalyzed by transition metal complexes in a consecutive or domino fashion. In particular, transition metal-catalyzed sequences considerably enhance structural complexity by multiple iterations of organometalhc elementary steps. All this has fundamentally revolutionized synthetic strategies and conceptual thinking. 

Recently, Mello et al. have disclosed a simple and robust protocol for the generation of methyl(trifluoromethyl)-dioxirane from an aqueous solution of 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone hydrate, sodium bicarbonate, and peroxomonosulfate on a preparative scale (typically <2 g the authors suggest multiple iterations for larger scales). The methyl(trifluoro-methyl)dioxirane is removed from the reaction mixture by the evolved gases (O2, CO2) and has been applied to the oxidation of substrates in a second reaction zone (e.g., the epoxidation of cyclohexenone Scheme 33) <2007S47>. 

With advances in computer technology in recent years, simulation has often provided a very powerful tool to predict the end-use performance from the selected component properties and to establish structure-performance relations with a certain degree of confidence. This approach has been termed in silico design as opposed to in vitro or in vivo. " In silico experimentation - the ability to explore simulations rapidly reduces the need for in vivo experimentation slow, multiple iterations of trial and error for design of new composite structures. The combination of design tools and computer modeling will drive development of new thermosets, with improved performance. This includes new structures based on known materials and the development of new chemistries for selected applications.

The AfG°/RT values of all the aqueous species in this system are known (Table D-6). The AjG° IRT value of Th(S04)2 9H20(cr) is the unknown which we need to optimise. The NONLINT-SIT program starts out with an estimated AfG° IRT (Th(S04)2 9H20, cr) value and calculates the total AfG, IRT of the solution phase (D.6) and the concentrations and activities of all of the species defined in the problem (Table D-6). Multiple iterations with different Af.G°/RT (Th(S04)2 9H20, cr)... 

Multiple iterations in the implementation phase and further development of the educational practice to overcome the boundaries that might exist between theory and practice. These iterations are based on reflection and immediate adjustments as well as results from analyses of data collections. 

In this work we present examples of workflows in which immunoaffinity-purified proteins were either separated using gel electrophoresis and bands exhibiting significant change from control were analyzed, or complexed proteins were eluted from the beads, digested in solution, and analyzed. It is important to note that these protocols provide general guidelines and that several optimization steps with multiple iterations of MS will likely be required for purification of a protein complex of interest. 

The basic formulation of interval arithmetic analysis does not allow to keep track of the relationships between uncertain parameters. The result of this inability is a degree of conservatism that is prohibitively high to be useful in practical applications. Manson (2003) proposes a strategy using affine analysis. The basic idea of affine arithmetic is to keep track of dependency between operands and sub-formulae whilst retaining much of the simplicity of interval arithmetic. As a result, tighter bounds are predicted than with interval arithmetic, especially when multiple iterations are necessary. Manson has applied this approach on systems with two degrees of freedom where all equations can be written explicitly. For more complicated and less explicit operations like FE analysis, the affine analysis approach is still in development.
