Verified Methods For Computing Pareto Sets: General Algorithmic Analysis, Boglarka G.-Toth, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In many engineering problems, we face multi-objective optimization, with several objective functions f1,...,fn. We want to provide the user with the Pareto set -- set of all possible solutions x which cannot be improved in all categories (i.e., for which fj(x')>=f_j(x) for all j and fj(x')>fj(x) for some j is impossible). The user should be able to select an appropriate trade-off between, say, cost and durability. We extend the general results about the (verified) algorithmic computability of maxima locations to show that Pareto sets can also computed.

Incidence Of Cancers Of The Oral Cavity And Pharynx Among American Indians And Alaska Natives, 1999–2004, Marsha E. Reichman, Janet J. Kelly, Carol L. Kosary, Steven S. Coughlin, Melissa Jim, Anne P. Lanier

United States Public Health Resources

BACKGROUND. Previous studies identified disparities in incidence rates of cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx between American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and non-Hispanic whites (NHW) and differences between various AI/AN populations. Reporting among AI/AN has been hampered by: 1) heterogeneity among various anatomic sites of oral cavity and pharyngeal cancers obscuring unique patterns of individual anatomic sites; 2) race misclassification and under-reporting of AI/AN; and 3) sparseness of data needed to identify regional variations.

METHODS. To improve race classification of AI/AN, data from US central cancer registries were linked with Indian Health Service (IHS) records. AI/AN incidence data …

Cancer In American Indian And Alaska Native Young Adults (Ages 20–44 Years): Us, 1999–2004, Hannah K. Weir, Melissa Jim, Loraine D. Marrett, Temeika L. Fairley

United States Public Health Resources

BACKGROUND. An examination of cancer incidence patterns in American Indians and Alaska Native (AI/AN) young adults may provide insight into their present and future cancer burden.

METHODS. To reduce racial misclassification, incidence data were linked with the Indian Health Service (IHS) patient services database. Age-adjusted cancer incidence rates per 100,000 (AAR) and corresponding rate ratios (RR) for young adults (ages 20-44 years) were compared across IHS regions and for selected cancers within Contract Health Service Delivery Area counties by race (AI/AN vs non-Hispanic whites [NHW]) and sex.

RESULTS. The all-sites cancer incidence rate was lower for AI/ANs …

Gastric Cancer Among American Indians And Alaska Natives In The United States, 1999–2004, Charles Wiggins, David G. Perdue, Jeffrey A. Henderson, Michael G. Bruce, Anne P. Lanier, Janet J. Kelly, Brenda F. Seals, David K. Espey

United States Public Health Resources

BACKGROUND. Gastric cancer incidence rates for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) historically have exceeded those for non-Hispanic whites (NHWs). Previous reports may have underestimated the true burden of gastric cancer in AI/AN populations because of misclassification of AI/AN race in cancer registries.

METHODS. Population-based cancer registry data from 1999 through 2004 were used to describe gastric cancer incidence in AI/ANs and NHWs in the US. To address misclassification of race, registry data were linked with Indian Health Service administrative records, and analyses were restricted to residents of Contract Health Service Delivery Areas (CHSDA). Disease patterns were assessed …

Retention Of Graduate Students Through Learning Communities, Marie Kraska

Journal of STEM Teacher Education

This manuscript addresses learning communities (LCs) as a strategy to retain graduate students until program completion. Definitions of LCs and their early development are presented. The benefits of LCs to groups of students with common interests are discussed. In addition, reasons for early graduate student attrition are included. Common models of LCs and characteristics of effective LCs are elaborated. Finally, suggestions for further research are given.

The Effect Of Caffeine Ingestion On Perception Of Muscle Pain During A Sustained Submaximal Isometric Contraction Of The Quadriceps, Eric E. Noreen, Caitlyn M. Barr, Marisa E. Mcneal, Daniel G. Drury

Health Sciences Faculty Publications

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an acute dose of 5 mg/kg of caffeine on perceived pain of the quadriceps during a sustained submaximal isometric contraction.

Methods: A total of 15 low caffeine consuming college aged women (20.5 ± 1.4 y, 66.0 ± 9.0 kg; mean ± SD) participated in this study. 2–7 d after a familiarization trial subjects ingested, in a double blind random crossover manner, either 5 mg/kg caffeine (Caf) or a placebo (P), 1 h prior to performing a 2 min isometric leg extension at 45% of peak torque using visual …

Vitamin D Deficiency In Ambulatory Patients, Lubna M Zuberi, Aysha Habib, Naeemul Haque, Abdul Jabbar

Section of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of subclinical vitamin D deficiency in an ambulatory care setting.

METHODS: This was an observational study which measured 25 vitamin D levels in medical clinic patients. Patients with chronic renal failure, known osteomalacia and rickets were excluded. A total of 119 patients were evaluated. They were divided in three diagnostic categories based on their serum 25 vitamin D levels. Those with levels below 8 ng/ml were categorized to have severe deficiency, levels between 8 - 20 ng/ml as moderate deficiency and levels of 21-35 mg/ml as mild deficiency.

RESULTS: Of 119 patients, 92% had vitamin …

Structure Of The Catalytic Trimer Of Methanococcus Jannaschii Aspartate Transcarbamoylase In An Orthorhombic Crystal Form, Jacqueline Vitali, Michael J. Colaneri

Physics Faculty Publications

Crystals of the catalytic subunit of Methanococcus jannaschii aspartate transcarbamoylase in an orthorhombic crystal form contain four crystallographically independent trimers which associate in pairs to form stable staggered complexes that are similar to each other and to a previously determined monoclinic C2 form. Each subunit has a sulfate in the central channel. The catalytic subunits in these complexes show flexibility, with the elbow angles of the monomers differing by up to 7.4 degrees between crystal forms. Moreover, there is also flexibility in the relative orientation of the trimers around their threefold axis in the complexes, with a difference of 4 …

Pareto-Optimal Predictor Composite Formation: A Complementary Approach To Alleviating The Selection Quality/Adverse Impact Dilemma, Paul R. Sackett, Wilfried De Corte, Filip Lievens

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

In our rejoinder to the comments of Kehoe (this issue) and Potosky, Bobko and Roth (this issue) we emphasize that our proposal on Pareto-optimal predictor composite formation is a complementary and not a competitive alternative for reducing the tension between selection quality and adverse impact. Our work addresses the decisions to be made once one has decided to use a predictor composite. We also further clarify the basic features of Pareto-optimal tradeoffs and Pareto-optimal composites within the context of personnel selection. In particular, we indicate that Pareto-optimal tradeoffs between validity and adverse impact emerge because these goals are different and …
