Myopic

One of the recognized barriers to the successful application of inherently safer technology is the lack of appreciation of the benefits that can be derived from viewing a process broadly rather than narrowly. Employing a cradle-to-grave and a feed-end-to-product-end view will lead to the development of processes which are as inherently safe as possible. Several examples of myopic design are ... 

Solving such a myopic deconvolution problem is much more difficult because its solution is highly non-linear with respect to the data. In effect, whatever are the expressions of the regularization terms, the criterion to minimize is no longer quadratic with respect to the parameters (due to the first likelihood term). Nevertheless, a much more important point to care of is that unless enough constraints are set by the regularization terms, the problem may not have a unique solution. 

Myopic deconvolution has enough flexibility to account for different cases depending on the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurements ... 

In the limit Wpsp +oo, the PSF is perfectly characterized by the calibration data (i,e, h <— ypsp) and myopic deconvolution becomes identical to conventional deconvolution,... 

In the limit Wpsp 0 or if no calibration data are available, myopic deconvolution becomes identical to blind deconvolution which involves to find the PSF and the brightness distribution of the object from only an image of the object. 

Stated like this, conventional and blind deconvolution appear to be just two extreme cases of the more general myopic deconvolution problem. We however have seen that conventional deconvolution is easier to perform than myopic deconvolution and we can anticipate that blind deconvolution must be far more difficult. 

If there s one thing that still makes me anxious, it s having to deal with a myopic mainstream health care professional. It s almost like it s imprinted in my body. Those fifteen years when I was searching for answers, I think I was abused, in some instances, by less than caring physicians who didn t understand and who wanted to discard me into their medical wastebaskets because I wasn t good for their ego, because I would have an adverse reaction to whatever prescription they wrote for me. I just didn t fit into their cookie-cutter mold, you know.

We note that, at its simplest, the optimization will be on an epoch by epoch basis (the so-called greedy or myopic approach). In this case, the mode is chosen just to optimize for the next epoch and defer consideration of future behavior. A more sophisticated system would look several epochs ahead in applying the measure of effectiveness, though it would also update the scheduling policy on an epoch by epoch basis. Such an approach is, a priori, very computer intensive, and much work is needed to develop shortcuts to calculation of the optimal policy. Sometimes it may be appropriate to choose to measure the effectiveness of a policy only at the last epoch of application of that policy. 

The focus on the start-up phase of a hydrogen infrastructure, by taking into account uncertainties of future market development over the step-by-step optimisation (myopic approach) and the influence of single production plants (using integer variables), thus allowing economies of scale to play out. 

Id. at 1374. The district court rejected Biovail s argument that the court s authority to limit the 30-month stay could he based only on the filing of the 463 infringement action because [s]uch a myopic approach to each listed patent would lead to a potentially endless listing of patents to prolong FDA approval of a generic competitor.

Users make their decisions by discounting anticipated utilities to their present value. The discounting takes place at a constant rate, so that the relative importance of any two future periods, when seen from the perspective of the present, is the same. Those who attach low importance to future utility might do so either because they are intrinsically myopic or because their life chances are objectively poor. 

To introduce consumption-induced myopia into the model, suppose that if people refrained last period, then their intertemporal preferences are described by equation 6.1 with P = Pa but if people hit last period, then their intertemporal preferences are described by equation 6.1 with P=Pi < Po- In other words, people are especially myopic when they have consumed in the preceding period and are currently hooked.20 We assume that time-consistent people are unaffected by consumption-induced myopia, and therefore the behavior of TCs will again represent the benchmark of how naifs and sophisticates would like to behave from a long-run perspective.

If this U.S. policy seems extreme, so are its philosophical underpinnings, as laid out in Earth in the Balance. The apocalyptic central thesis of Mr. Gore s book is that we need to take bold and unequivocal action. .. [to] make the rescue of the environment the central organizing principle for civilization. The events of September 11,2001, and the ensuing efforts against international terrorism illustrate how unspeakably myopic and self-absorbed was this view of the civilization s appropriate priorities. 

Many believe that it fosters short-term thinking and might be even detrimental to a company s long-term health, because capital markets are inherently myopic. 

Multiple emulsions have been used to deliver active agents with prolonged release in dermatological treatments. For example, O/W/O emulsions have been used to deliver pilocarpine hydrochloride as a myopic agent in eye infections [440]. Here the active agents was placed in the internal oil phase of the O/W/O emulsion to provide an appropriate rate of release. Similar approaches have been used in other treatments, using W/O/W emulsions [440].
