Assessment of bridges' expansion joints in Egypt by Badawy, Abdelhay Mohamed

“…Moreover, an expansion joint management system (EJMS) is developed with the aim of recommending the optimum maintenance strategy for bridges that optimizes annual condition index (ACI) and cost. This model uses a combination of Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) in order to provide optimal recommendations. …”

Newer and novel sputum versus non-sputum-based tools for the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in different patient sub-populations by Esmail, Aliasgar

“…Methods (sub-populations are underlined) In Chapter 1, I describe an evaluation of an algorithm that describes the optimal & cost efficient strategy to combine sputum GeneXpert and urine LAM (tests that are recommended by the WHO) in a hospitalized HIV-infected sub-population: This comprised a post-hoc analysis of 561 HIV-infected sputum-expectorating patients that was part of a larger parent trial. 5 different diagnostic strategies using sputum culture as a reference standard were explored (Xpert alone, LAM alone, sequential Xpert followed by LAM and vice versa [LAM in Xpert-negative patients and Xpert in LAM-negative patients], and both tests concurrently [LAM + Xpert]). …”

An investigation into higher and partial moment portfolio selection frameworks by Polden, Stuart John

“…It solves the endogeneity issue present in the co-semivariance matrices, through the usage of a direct multi-search algorithm. The two frameworks were tested across multiple datasets, including one of pure stocks and one of asset classes, to test the ability to both allocate assets and select stocks. …”
