An Efficient Method to Estimate the Optimum Regularization Parameter in RLDA

Bakir, Daniyar; Pappachen, Alex James; Zollanvari, Amin (2016)

Motivation: The biomarker discovery process in high-throughput genomic profiles has presented the statistical learning community with a challenging problem, namely learning when the number of variables is comparable or ...
An Electromagnetic Steering System for Magnetic Nanoparticle Drug Delivery

Do, Ton Duc; Noh, Yeongil; Kim, Myeong Ok; Yoon, Jungwon (2015)

Targeted delivery of pharmaceutical agents to the brain using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is an efficient technique to transport molecules to disease locations. MNPs can cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and can ...

A new generalization of the normal distribution: the gamma-normal distribution and its applications

Alzaatreh, A.; Famoye, F.; Lee, C. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

Statistical distributions are commonly applied to describe real world phenomena. Due to the usefulness of statistical distributions, their theory is widely studied and new distributions are developed. The interest in ...
A new generic open pit mine planning process with risk assessment ability

Mai, Ngoc Luan; Erten, Oktay; Topal, Erkan (International Journal of Coal Science and Technology, 2016-12-17)

Conventionally, mining industry relies on a deterministic view, where a unique mine plan is determined based on a single resource model. A major shortfall of this approach is the inability to assess the risk caused by the ...
A new index of legislative oversight

Pelizzo, Riccardo (2012-01)

The purpose of this paper is to present a new index of legislative oversight. Building on the work by Stapenhurst (2011), who argued that a proper index of legislative oversight capacity should reflect not only legislatures’ ...
A New Multiscale Approach to Nuclear Fuel Simulations: Atomistic Validation of Kinetic Method

Insepov, Z.; Rest, J.; Hofman, G. L.; Yacout, A.; Norman, G. E.; Starikov, S. A.; Stegailov, V. V. (Transactions of the American Nuclear Society, 2010)

A key issue for fuel behavior codes is their sensitivity to values of various materials properties, many of which have large uncertainties or have not been measured. Kinetic mesoscale models, such as those developed at ...
A new step in the development of Zn/LiFePO4 aqueous battery

Molkenova, A.; Belgibayeva, A.; Ibrayeva, D.; Sultanov, M.; Zhumagali, S.; Akhmetova, N.; Hara, T.; Bakenov, Z. (Materials Today: Proceedings, 2017-01-01)

Abstract In recent years, aqueous batteries have gained much attention due to their low production cost and exceptional safety compared to commercial Li-ion battery systems. Three-dimensional (3D) structure could be promising ...
A New Weibull–Pareto Distribution: Properties and Applications

Tahir, M. H.; Cordeiro, Gauss M.; Alzaatreh, Ayman; Mansoor, M.; Zubair, M. (Communications in Statistics: Simulation and Computation, 2016-11-25)

Many distributions have been used as lifetime models. In this article, we propose a new three-parameter Weibull–Pareto distribution, which can produce the most important hazard rate shapes, namely, constant, increasing, ...
An experience with teaching squares

Clementi, A.; Goodman, Bridget; Kovanis, V.; Rizvi, M. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

Teaching Squares is a technique which was developed in 2001, is now used at numerous universities worldwide, and is aimed at informing and improving teaching [1]. It uses a process of classroom observation combined with ...
An extended Hessenberg form for Hamiltonian matrices

Ferranti, Micol; Iannazzo, Bruno; Mach, Thomas; Vandebril, Raf (Calcolo, 2016-06-01)

A unitary symplectic similarity transformation for a special class of Hamiltonian matrices to extended Hamiltonian Hessenberg form is presented. Whereas the classical Hessenberg form links to Krylov subspaces, the extended ...
An integrated review program for the preparation for the United States medical license examination (USMLE)

Rogers, P.; Niyazmetova, L.; Abdiyeva, K. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

The primary objective of the present educational research program is to improve upon existing commercially available USMLE review programs. With the clear shortage of both residency slots, the medical student's performance ...
