Many domains like machine learning, engineering design, and operational study have significant non-convex optimization problems that are hard because of high dimensionality and numerous local minima. Traditional optimization algorithms are unable to handle these problems due to poor scalability and convergence guarantees. However, recent research shows promise in finding ways to navigate these difficulties more effectively. One good approach could be utilizing stochastic optimization strategies that integrate adaptive learning rates and variance reduction. The recent gains in variance reduction methods, such as SVRG and SAGA, show concentrating the gradient noise leads to faster convergence, specifically in large datasets (Johnson & Zhang, 2013). Such strategies can efficiently address vast data while sailing through  the difficult non-convex spaces. In a different exceptional approach, researchers utilize second-order data from quasi-Newton schemas and approximate Hessian methods specifically engineered for non-convex issues. For example, Limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) or trust-region methods estimate curvature effectively to speed up convergence without the computational burden of Hessian calculations (Nocedal, & Wright, 2006). Approaches hybridizing first and second-order data have shown potential in escaping saddle points, which are hurdles in non-convex optimization (Dauphin et al., 2014). New research also integrates machine learning — driven strategies from tactics such as meta-learning and reinforcement learning in customizing optimization approaches to adapt to the challenge. Such approaches can gain knowledge of optimization approaches from the problem instance, enhancing efficiency in large-scale issues (Li & Malik, 2017). On top of these, distributed and parallel computing grounds, such as federated evaluation and consensus-based methods, break large issues into smaller simultaneous problems, enhancing the scalability limits (Boyd et al., 2011). Ultimately, taking into account problem-specific structures, including smoothness, low-rankness, or sparsity, through constraint or regularization improvements extend efficiency by minimally reducing the search space reach (Bach et al., 2012).  In summary, cutting-edge approaches to deal with vast-scale non-convex optimization blend hybrid optimization & machine learning-driven heuristics, distributed computing, structural adaptation, and stochastic variance reduction. These improvements are directing the complex optimization problem-solving endeavor fruitfully.

Minimizing power consumption in EAF steelmaking has the potential to substantially lower expenditures and carbon footprint. To achieve this goal, the operation's primary objective is to enhance the utilization of electrical energy in the steelmaking process. In this approach, optimization of the arc state and electrode placement would be critical for maximizing the performance of electric energy transfer from the source to the furnace. For example, a stable arc helps to minimize unfavorable operating conditions such as unsteady fluctuations and overheating, which significantly increase energy loss and reduce efficiency of melting (Zhang et al., 2018). Monitoring and adjusting electrode gaps in real-time improve arc length (gap) to achieve the desirable power consumption and heat generation within the furnace. The best methods reveal the required energy for melting scrap metal and define the power consumption variation.

To accentuate energy optimization, energy-efficient charge mix and scrap preheating and charging sequence would be considered. The extensive heating of scrap through off-gas gas recovery or direct electric heating would reduce the energy required for melting. In other words, reducing the temperature to the scrap is proportional to reducing the electrical energy needed to melt the same mass of scrap. (Wang & Li, 2019). The mixture of the charge, such as scrap, DRI, and other carbon feed in balance, would optimize the thermal properties of the mixture. Such optimization would consider the rate of melting, and equilibrium heating could be measured to understand the requirements for power and its availability. Moreover, optimal electric arc operation would be obtained through batch optimization, process scheduling, and effective waste heat recovery. Batch optimization refers to the reduction of the furnace's idle time and improvement of the energy utilization.

Through this, operational waste of electrical energy making heat is reduced, and the procedure is more organized (Zhang et al., 2018). Examples of a comprehensive approach to EAF energy optimization include waste heat recovery systems, real-time data analytics, and machine learning. Waste heat recovery systems and energy management could be integrated into EAF steelmaking processes to enhance energy savings significantly. They could help lower the overall fuel and electricity usage by recovering thermal energy from gases and reusing it. For instance, a regenerative type burner would be used to capture 50% to 60% of the energy by heat exchange. The regenerative heat would be carried on heat exchangers located in the center of the furnace, where the regenerative flue gas re-circulation system would preheat scrap by heat exchange.

This method would be used together with the flue gas recovery system, whereby the heat exchangers that are placed at the last outlet of the furnace would use the entire flue gas in the recovery heat transfer stage by the 3 chambers used (Singh & Kumar, 2020). In this context, real-time data analytics and machine learning optimization would be necessary. Real-time data would be collected and analyzed to evaluate different parameters and determine a forward-looking system for improving energy efficiency. For example, the real-time data would be collected to help identify and improve the system functionality.

Hello.

This is the common error when the geometry may have overlapping atoms, missing coordinates or disconnected fragments check it out and the error still not solved check the atom numbers in the notepad. If not solved then only leave the opt option with ModRedundant. Hope your problem will be solved.

Thankyou. The correction has been made.

Thank you Sumit Naskar for the information.

Perhaps, you can change --ohess with --hess, and then check the resullts for consistency, i.e., they should look similar or near identical eventually.

A Gaussian I/O error occurs when the disk space runs out or a missing file is accessed.

Yes, there are several open-source dynamic programming tools available for Python. One popular library is PuLP, which is used for linear programming and optimization problems, including dynamic programming applications. Another option is Pyomo, a more comprehensive tool that supports optimization problems, including those that can be solved using dynamic programming. NumPy and SciPy also offer useful utilities for implementing custom dynamic programming algorithms, particularly for numerical optimization tasks. These libraries enable users to solve complex problems involving decision-making over time, such as in resource allocation or sequential optimization scenarios.

Thank you so much for directing me to the protocol on ResearchGate. I really appreciate your help! Nicolas Poirier

Because of how Implicit vs. Explicit models work, GPUs will only really offer GPU speed increases to Abaqus/Standard models where large amounts of storage are required and "solutions" are required. On the other hand, Abaqus Explicit models do not need to perform iterations to solutions, and do not need to use as much storage, and therefore run mostly on the CPU and will not (for the most part) benefit from inclusion of GPUs.

So firstly, I would make sure the model you are running is an Abaqus/Standard analysis.

Secondly, using the gpus is more easily done in the command line with "gpus = 1". So if you're doing it from Abaqus CAE, it might be easier to run your jobs from the command line to ensure it is actually using the GPU.

Lastly, it's important to acknowledge that for most FEA problems, GPUs only offer a marginal improvement in speed. There is a document listed on Nvidia's website about using GPUs for Abaqus (https://www.nvidia.com/es-la/data-center/gpu-accelerated-applications/abaqus/)

and the graph at the bottom shows improvements but not "dramatic" by any means. So I would not expect it to make your model run significantly faster, and as a result, there is only so much load that it will make on your GPU, since a lot of the speed limitations lie beyond the GPU.

Hello Mustafa Kaya

I agree with everything Gabriel Vinicius suggested. Also, I suggest that you put your atom in the center of your cell, so Quantum Espresso can recognize symmetry, making calculation much faster. I made a calculation with a single Vanadium atom, using the suggested corrections, using the same pseudopotential, and I am convinced you had problems with that 4 lines of 'starting_magnetization(i)'. It's not only unnecessary, but prevented your magnetization to converge. For a single Vanadium atom, using even different pseudopotentials, I get a magnetization of 5 Bohr mag/cell, which your calculation didn't reach.

Try this input I just did, you won't have trouble with it. Remind to change your pseudopotential and the pseudoponteial file location.

Best regards

Enhancing thermal energy storage in solar collectors is crucial for improving their efficiency and reliability. Recent studies have explored the use of iron oxide nanoparticles and the optimization of flow rates to achieve this goal.

Incorporating iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles into phase change materials (PCMs) has been shown to enhance thermal conductivity, leading to more efficient thermal energy storage systems. For instance, nano-iron oxide particles have been explored as potential additives to improve the thermal conductivity of PCMs used in low-temperature thermal energy storage systems. Additionally, studies have reported significant reductions in charging time due to the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles. For example, Awad et al. reported a 25.6% reduction in charging time with the inclusion of iron oxide nanoparticles at a concentration of 0.75 wt%.

Nature

Optimizing the flow rate of the heat transfer fluid in solar collectors is essential for maximizing thermal energy storage. Research has identified that the optimal flow rate corresponds to the maximum storage temperature. For example, a study found that the optimal flow rate of the heat transfer fluid, corresponding to the maximum storage temperature, was 15 liters per hour. Furthermore, the introduction of nanoparticles into the storage tank led to a significant increase in the specific heat of the water, reaching a maximum of 19%.

The integration of iron oxide nanoparticles into thermal energy storage systems and the optimization of flow rates in solar collectors have demonstrated significant potential in enhancing efficiency. These advancements contribute to more effective and reliable solar energy systems, promoting the broader adoption of renewable energy technologies.

Well, you are getting some bands so that's a start! Ideally, your two primers should have the same melting temperature (or within a degree or two).

Please don't be afraid to talk with your supervisor about your results. Keep good notes (exact PCR recipe and cycle, label the gels, date everything) and come to them with ideas for what to try next.

Your time likely costs more money than any of the reagents so please do get used to speaking with your supervisor. Unless they are brand-new in their very first year of having a lab they have seen a student in your situation before needing to troubleshoot PCR.

hi professor, work done?

Hello Rahman! HUVECs are primary cells. They have a limitation proliferation. You cannot subculture in a long time (as yours is passage 18). You should use the same passage numbers (in around 3 subculture passages) of HUVEC cells for the whole of your project to maintain similar morphology and properties. Passages 5 and 18 are quite far together. Their characteristics might be changed.

For a project based on "Geometric Mean Optimizer for Solving a Problem of a Real-Life Embedded System Application," here are some of the most promising topics to explore as a basis for your master’s thesis:

Each of these topics provides a strong basis for exploring and demonstrating the value of a geometric mean optimizer in improving specific performance metrics in embedded systems, positioning you well for a deeper thesis project.

I have this type of error

It sounds like there might be an issue with how the PV generation data is being interpreted or calculated in the optimization process. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot:

Addressing these aspects should help in diagnosing and fixing the issue with the optimization results.

Hort Tandem Repeat (STR) testing, often used in forensic science and genetic analysis, is a powerful tool for identifying individuals based on the number of repeating units at specific locations in their DNA. STR testing can still identify someone with a germ-line mutation by detecting changes in the repeat patterns at specific DNA loci. If a germ-line mutation alters an STR region, the individual’s STR profile may show a new allele or a different number of repeats than expected based on their relatives. This can result in mismatches in parent-child STR profiles, which might indicate a mutation. While STR testing is generally reliable, the results must be carefully interpreted.

Understanding these cost parameters and their relationships will help you optimize your disaster response logistics model effectively.

Your advisor should contact some of the authors whose work you have cited in your thesis. Today, with tools like LinkedIn and Research Gate, contacting experts may not be difficult.

Thank's very lot.

Lack of fit F test is used to test the hypothesis of model correctness: that is whether there is statistically significant model misspecification in not.

In RSM, the Lack of fit test is used to determine whether there is significant curvature in the experimental data: the first order model with interaction term is not able to capture adequate data variation and hence a second order model based design (CCD or Box Behnken type) is needed to fit the data coming from this particular region of the experimental space.

Details about the RSM process and statistical tests associated with it can be found in the following books:

Improving pharmaceutical supply chains in Sub-Saharan Africa necessitates strategies like local manufacturing promotion, digitalization for transparency (Smith, 2020), and resilient practices (WHO, 2019). Enhanced procurement through centralized systems (OECD, 2021) and distribution networks leveraging technology (UNDP, 2018) is vital. Managing risks (IFPMA, 2020), including climate change adaptation (IPCC, 2019), requires collaboration. Balancing local vs. international manufacturing (UNCTAD, 2020) and in-shoring vs. offshoring depends on cost-effectiveness and quality (UNIDO, 2018). Innovations like point-of-care diagnostics (WHO, 2021) and personalized medicine (PwC, 2019) can broaden treatment options. Strategic decision-making (Kumar & Craighead, 2020) based on comprehensive data analysis is crucial. Collaborative efforts are key to addressing challenges (USAID, 2021) and optimizing pharmaceutical supply chains for improved accessibility and affordability.

Hi Gueddidi Djihene,

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are heuristic algorithms widely used for performing optimization especially in complex systems. Indeed, in those circumstances, finding the exaxt solution to the problem at hand could be very hard because of lack of information or mathematical issues. Smart Grids (SGs) are basically groups of modular interconnected electrical grids with many nodes (e.g. residential buildings) and elements (e.g. batteries and PV generators), generally aimed at reaching the minimum operative costs for their users. Therefore, energy flows between nodes have to be optimized with the aforementioned purpose. To sum up, GA optimization is useful for SGs since they are complex systems to be optimized.

Hi, this is not a simple question to answer !

But there are some points to focus on to modify the swarm behavior of PSO core algorithm :

- Initialize population using methods to maximize search space coverage (such as latin hypercubes, sequences, ...)

- try different hyper-parameter values (to poderate inertia vs social behavior)

- try different neighborhood topology.

Then there are other evolutions of the core algorithm, but other evolutions as TRIBES, FIPS, ...

hi Hector Marañón-Ledesma

To optimize a multivariable problem with constraints of the form `{0} ∪ [a, b]` using a genetic algorithm, consider implementing custom mutation and crossover functions that increase the likelihood of variables taking on a value of zero, and adjust the fitness function to impose penalties for values within the non-desirable range `(0, a)`. You can also employ a two-part variable representation to handle zeros and non-zeros distinctly, initialize the population with a higher frequency of zeros, or use adaptive fitness scaling to dynamically value solutions with zeros more favorably. Lastly, specialized selection mechanisms can be designed to favor individuals that meet the constraints, ensuring the genetic algorithm efficiently explores and exploits the desired search space within the DEAP framework.

may shed some light.

Most standard cloning vectors have an ampicillin resistant gene (which is beta-lactamase). So those are nearly universal.

Unless you are performing protein purification for biochemical analysis, you don't require an optimized cassette. Most the naturally found genes for resistance will express adequately to confer resistance. So you just PCR out the genes from any plasmid carrying that resistance marker.

Thanks a lot

Hi Muhammed,

I can't comment on diethylene glycol but what I've done in the past is to cryopreserve the full brain in 30% sucrose in TBS before sectioning, then store the brain sections free floating in a 1:1 glycerol-TBS solution at -20C. I find this preserves them almost indefinitely for IHC with the exception of some particularly sensitive stains.

I can provide you some open-sourced matlab codes for optimization using CVX 3.1.

If I understand correctly, one section represents a single solution, and if the period isn't satisfied, then the solution isn't feasible. Typically when we know a solution isn't feasible, we generate new ones until the condition is met. So when generating new solutions or when the decision variables change, you have to evaluate the period, and if the solution isn't feasible, you generate a new one. Only when the solution is feasible, then you call the objective function. You have to keep in mind that if a lot of the decision space isn't feasible (a lot of solutions don't satisfy the period), the algorithm isn't going to work very well. If some solutions violate the period more than others, then the period can be made as a constraint. You can do this by adding a constraint to the solution, which is evaluated by calling the API, which returns the period. So when you evaluate the solution, you also call the API, which will "calculate" the constraint called period.

In general, integer problems are not convex. First of all, due to nonconvexity of the feasible set. However, there are linear integer programming problems possessing properties similar to continuous linear problems. For example, classical transportation, assignment and many network flow problems. The reason is that all vertices of the feasible set have integer components. See more, e.g., in L.Wolsey, Integer Programming.

No, a Pareto front produced by an evolutionary algorithm does not necessarily include both global and local optima. The Pareto front represents the set of non-dominated solutions in multi-objective optimization problems. These solutions are not dominated by any other solution in terms of all the objective functions simultaneously.

In a multi-objective optimization problem, there can be multiple optimal solutions, known as Pareto optimal solutions, that represent trade-offs between conflicting objectives. These solutions lie on the Pareto front and are considered efficient solutions because improving one objective would require sacrificing performance in another objective.

The Pareto front typically contains a mixture of global and local optima. Global optima are solutions that provide the best performance across all objectives in the entire search space. Local optima, on the other hand, are solutions that are optimal within a specific region of the search space but may not be globally optimal.

The evolutionary algorithm aims to explore the search space and find a diverse set of Pareto optimal solutions across the entire front, which may include both global and local optima. However, the algorithm's ability to discover global optima depends on its exploration and exploitation capabilities, the problem complexity, and the specific settings and parameters of the algorithm.

It's important to note that the distribution and representation of global and local optima on the Pareto front can vary depending on the problem and algorithm used. Analyzing the Pareto front and its solutions can provide valuable insights into the trade-offs and optimal solutions available in multi-objective optimization problems.

After some deeper searches, I could find a good example in the Casadi blog which has implemented the Casadi for optimal control of the Vanderpol system. You can catch it up from the following link:

https://web.casadi.org/blog/mpc-simulink/.

I could modify it for my problem (Nonlinear Model predictive control of a Wheeled Mobile Robot), but the tracking performance is not good as expected from an MPC controller. The tracking performance is sensitive to the cost function weighting factors and based I my knowledge the MPC weighting factors tunning is straightforward and should not be a challenging task.

Maybe I make mistakes in modifying the Simulink source file, but I checked the Simulink file over and over.

Moreover, I tried to convert the simulation file of the following code to the Simulink file and call the Casadi using the s-function, I did it but the simulation results is wrong.

https://github.com/MMehrez/MPC-and-MHE-implementation-in-MATLAB-using-Casadi/tree/master/workshop_github/Codes_casadi_v3_5_5/MPC_code.

Any positive experience in converting these examples to the Simulink file could help me.

Tahereh Alavi Hi

I hope you will be fine

I have read your problem, there is two way to find the IP. One is you will perform neutral molecules and visualize the HOMO LUMO energy. A highly occupied orbital shows the maximum energy to donate the electron so HOMO energy is equal to IP similarly LUMO shows maximum energy to accept an electron that is also equal to EA. But in another way, you will perform a neutral molecule and note down the energy of the molecule and again perform that molecule after adding + charge and calculating energy. In the end you can calculate the IP by differentiating energy .

Hi,

This answer is purely technical, as I do not know much about your molecule.

You are not performing a geometry optimization. The input file is for a single point calculation.

You need TightOpt or Opt in your keywords.

Also try the RIJCOSX method instead of RIJK (Reasons are mentioned in the ORCA manual)

The B3LYP has its own problems (difficulty in convergence being the most prominent one).

I would also change the %maxcore to a reasonably high value.

I believe you can also check the GRID options given in the manual.

Please note that GRID options are different in ORCA 4 and ORCA 5

On that note:

For optimization I would use the following

If this does not work try

=============================================

I would then perform a Single Point calculation for the geometry obtained from the above method.

For single point replace BP86 with B3LYP or any other fucntional that is suitable for your system, and remove the TightOPT keyword.

=============================================

You should also add dispersion related keyword to account for dispersion corrections.

In that case I would use

Hope this helps.

Good luck,

Sachin

PCR inhibition can be a common issue in fecal samples, especially in wildlife fecal samples, due to the presence of various inhibitors that can co-purify with the DNA during extraction. It seems that you have already tried several approaches to resolve the issue, but still facing the problem.

Here are some additional suggestions that may help you to address the PCR inhibition in your rhino dung samples:

These video playlists might be helpful to you:

perhaps something like equations B.24, B25 and B.26 and the predecessors-equations in ... http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.117481 ... might provide some initial help (same one here: )

Thank you Michal. I will try right now your suggestions. I have invested a lot of time in this. I am working with an organic molecule furan type medium size 350 gr/mol. I just need the optimized geometry of the 2 isomers and compare the energy difference. The energy difference usually is between 0.5 to 1 Kcal/mol always favoring the syn isomer. in another case, I got a 6 kcal difference. My experimental data is clear and it is indeed the anti isomer the major product.

Dear Reza

In your point 1, not everything is profit or cost. You can minimize water consumption as well of fertilizers or maximize land use.

In your point 4 you should say 'mathematical inequations' not 'equations'.

This is where the strength of LP lies

Sure Sir ....

I will look into them and will let you know.

Thank you

Dear Djedoui Nassim ,

To ensure that the optimization algorithm chooses a step size of 50mm within the design interval, you can incorporate a discretization constraint into the optimization problem. This constraint will restrict the possible values for the cross-section to a finite set of discrete values, with a fixed step size of 50mm.

One way to implement this constraint is to introduce a binary variable for each possible cross-section dimension, where the variable takes the value of 1 if that dimension is selected and 0 otherwise. Then, you can use a set of linear constraints to ensure that only one dimension is selected, and the selected dimension is a multiple of 50mm within the given design interval.

For example, if the design interval is [250mm, 1200mm], you can define the binary variable x_i for each possible dimension d_i within this interval, where d_i = 250mm + 50mm * (i-1) for i = 1, 2, ..., 19. Then, you can add the following set of constraints to the optimization problem:

These constraints will ensure that the algorithm chooses a cross-section dimension within the given design interval, with a step size of 50mm, and only one dimension is selected. By adding this discretization constraint to the optimization problem, you can ensure that the algorithm will always choose the next candidate within the design interval with a step size of 50mm.

Esmaeil Amiri Many Thanks

Dear Javed Akhtar

I think this is a very specific system to be found in the literature. However, since it is not a huge system, I recommend you to calculate by yourself (at DFT level it will not take so long)

**** Modified version ****

HCP has two parameters to optimize namely a and c/a; the process detailed here gives pretty accurate result to determine those parameters.

i. Take 7 to 8 different volumes across the estimated equilibrium volume (from published XRD data) using ISMEAR = 0 or 1

ii. Range of volume scanned should be typically within +/- 10%

iii. If atom positions are in high symmetry positions then atoms should not be moved; accordingly, use ISIF = 4 or 5

v. Fit 3rd order BM EOS to determine the equilibrium energy, volume and bulk modulus (E0, V0 and B), the useful quantity from this fitting is V0 and B

vi. With this fixed V0 run again with ISIF=4 or 5 to determine a0 and c0

vii. Keeping this a0 and c0 fixed (i.e. fixed V0 ) take another run using ISMEAR=-5 for accurate ground state energy (E0) calculation

In addition to ultracentrifugation, Soleimani, Mohammadzadeh, and Asadian (2020) suggest the following additional elimination techniques: lipid extraction; sample dilution; and serum blank. They have suggested using serum blanks for samples that will be utilized to measure glucose, GGT, creatinine, albumin, CPK, and amylase as serum blanks eliminate the need for ultracentrifugation in cases of low degrees of lipemia.

For laboratories encountering cases of lipemia, specifically in the moderate to severe lipemic levels, ultracentrifugation is still the optimum removal technique for lipemic samples used for assessment of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, total protein, iron, TIBC, urea, and chloride.

Hello,

There are some important tutoriel in the website of Abinit, see this link:

You can use the real distance or travel time of the best path that link each pair of cities. Usually, travel times are calculated based on the real distance and an assumed vehicle average velocity.

You always need to calculate the Cost-Matrix between all the cities (nodes) as instance data. To make this possible recommend OSRM or Vallhalla or any proprietary solution like ArcGIS Desktop Network Analyst

António Brandão ChatGPT, as a big language model, has the potential to transform the way we engage with the Internet in several ways:

1. Personalization: ChatGPT may be trained to recognize the context of a discussion and answer in a tailored manner, giving the user with more accurate and relevant information.

2. Speed: Using language models such as GPT-3 and Codex, ChatGPT can swiftly interpret and react to user questions, making information access faster and more efficient.

3. Interactivity: ChatGPT may be linked to a variety of platforms, including websites and applications, to give users an interactive experience. This can make information access more interesting and user-friendly.

4. Improved performance: By combining reward models and reinforcement learning with human input, ChatGPT's performance can be constantly improved, making it more accurate and dependable over time.

5. Better outcomes: Using Proximal Policy Optimization, the model may adjust itself to the feedback supplied by human trainers, resulting in better results for end users.

The combination of these qualities can improve the user experience by making information access over the Internet more customized, rapid, interactive, and accurate.

To calculate an ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) table for a quadratic model in Python, you can use the statsmodels library. Here is an example of how you can do this:

#################################

import statsmodels.api as sm

# Fit the quadratic model using OLS (Ordinary Least Squares)

model = sm.OLS.from_formula('y ~ x + np.power(x, 2)', data=df)

results = model.fit()

# Print the ANOVA table

print(sm.stats.anova_lm(results, typ=2))

#################################

In this example, df is a Pandas DataFrame that contains the variables y and x. The formula 'y ~ x + np.power(x, 2)' specifies that y is the dependent variable and x and x^2 are the independent variables. The from_formula() method is used to fit the model using OLS. The fit() method is then used to estimate the model parameters.

The anova_lm() function is used to calculate the ANOVA table for the model. The typ parameter specifies the type of ANOVA table to compute, with typ=2 corresponding to a Type II ANOVA table.

This code will print the ANOVA table to the console, with columns for the source of variance, degrees of freedom, sum of squares, mean squares, and F-statistic. You can also access the individual elements of the ANOVA table using the results object, for example:

#################################

# Print the F-statistic and p-value

print(results.fvalue)

print(results.f_pvalue)

#################################

I hope that helps

Susan C Hubchak Hi Susan, thank you for your response. Have you tried spinning any adherent cells with polybrene before? If so, what was the recommended time of spinning and conditions?

You can look into the following Book:

Complex Valued Matrix Derivatives : With applications in Signal processing and Communication, by Are Hjorungnes.

The question seems incorrect. We needn't find x and y.

We have {(xi, yi = sin(xi))}, i=1,...,N and seek (a_n, ..., a_0) for a polynomial function

f(x) = a_n * x^n + ... + a_0.

Least Square minimization gives

A=

( Sum(xi^n) Sum(xi^(n-1)) ... Sum(xi^0);

Sum(xi^(n+1)) Sum(xi^(n-2)) ... Sum(xi^1);

Sum(xi^(2*n)) Sum(xi^(2*n-1)) ... Sum(xi^n);

);

b = (Sum(yi); Sum(xi*yi);); ... Sum(xi^n*yi) );

At last,

(a_n a_(n-1) ... a_0) = A^(-1)*b

I agree with John Hildyard

However, you have one more option. Your PCR machine should have an option for gradient setup. So why not try a gradient PCR and find out the optimum Tm for the available primer pair? It works most of the time.

Hope this helps!

Best!

Dear Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi

Many thanks for your reply.

The list of papers you've provided perfectly developed the concept, particularly the tutorial paper that goes through the optimization problem step by step.
