An approach for modelling multiple correlated outcomes in a network of interventions using odds ratios
(2014)A multivariate meta-analysis of two or more correlated outcomes is expected to improve precision compared with a series of independent, univariate meta-analyses especially when there are studies reporting some but not all ... -
Component mode synthesis techniques for finite element model updating
(2013)Deterministic and Bayesian finite element (FE) model updating techniques are computationally very demanding operations due to the large number of FE model re-analyses required. Component mode synthesis techniques are ... -
A Critical Reading of Ecocentrism and Its Meta-Scientific Use of Ecology: Instrumental Versus Emancipatory Approaches in Environmental Education and Ecology Education
(2013)The aim of the paper is to make a critical reading of ecocentrism and its meta-scientific use of ecology. First, basic assumptions of ecocentrism will be examined, which involve nature's intrinsic value, postmodern and ... -
Effects of Stabilization Exercises on Health-Related Quality of Life in Women With Chronic Low Back Pain
(2014)Background: The study examined the effects of a 4-week intensive isometric and isotonic stabilization exercise program on dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in women with chronic low back pain (CLBP). ... -
From trickle to flood: the large-scale, cryptic invasion of California by tropical fruit flies
(2013)Since 1954, when the first tropical tephritid fruit fly was detected in California, a total of 17 species in four genera and 11 386 individuals (adults/larvae) have been detected in the state at more than 3348 locations ... -
Gradient Elastodamage Model for Quasi-Brittle Materials with an Evolving Internal Length
(2015)The article presents a new approach based on a strain gradient damage constitutive law for modeling quasi-brittle materials such as concrete. The authors use a weak type nonlocal formulation of the problem, relying on ... -
Nonstationary Frequency Analysis of Annual Maximum Rainfall Using Climate Covariates
(2015)The perception that hydrometeorological processes are non stationary on timescales that are applicable to extreme value analysis is recently well documented due to natural climate variability or human intervention. In this ... -
Renewable energy consumption and economic efficiency: Evidence from European countries
(2013)This paper examines the relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic efficiency. For this reason, conditional Data Envelopment Analysis estimators alongside with nonparametric regressions are applied in ... -
Satellite image classification using granular neural networks
(2006)The increased synergy between neural networks (NN) and fuzzy sets has led to the introduction of granular neural networks (GNNs) that operate on granules of information, rather than information itself. The fact that ... -
Stochastic Simulation and Management of an Over-Exploited Aquifer Using an Integrated Modeling System
(2015)A modeling system for the stochastic simulation and management of the overexploited groundwater resources of Lake Karla Basin in Central Greece is presented. The uncertainty of the hydrogeological environment which arises ... -
Structural model updating and prediction variability using Pareto optimal models
(2008)A multi-objective identification method for structural model updating based on modal residuals is presented. The method results in multiple Pareto optimal structural models that are consistent with the experimentally ... -
Tradeoffs between base stock levels, numbers of kanbans, and planned supply lead times in production/inventory systems with advance demand information
(2005)We numerically investigate tradeoffs between near-optimal base stock levels, numbers of kanbans, and planned supply lead times in base stock policies and hybrid base stock/kanban policies with advance demand information ... -
Variability of updated finite element models and their predictions consistent with vibration measurements
(2012)A case study on a small-scale laboratory vehicle frame is used to investigate the variability of the updated finite element (FE) models that arises from model and measurement errors and demonstrate the effect of this ...
