type="main" xml:id="rssc12066-abs-0001" <title type="main">Summary</title> <p>We consider a problem of reducing the expected number of treatment failures in trials where the probability of response to treatment is close to 1 and treatments are compared on the basis of the log-odds ratio. We propose a new class of urn designs...</p>

The multivariate logistic transform is a reparameterisation of cell probabilities in terms of marginal logistic contrasts. It is known that an arbitrary set of logistic contrasts may not correspond to a valid joint distribution. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for detecting...

A proton-conductive solid oxide fuel cell (H-SOFC) has the advantage of operating at higher temperatures than a PEM fuel cell, but at lower temperatures than a SOFC. This study proposes a mathematical model for an H-SOFC in order to simulate the performance and optimize the flow channel designs....

With the rapid growth of the carbon market, carbon price fluctuations are increasingly important for market participants. Carbon market risk directly affects the investor confidence and emission reduction results. In the present study, extreme value theory (EVT) is used to analyze risk exposure...

Information routing is one of the most important problems in large communication networks. In this paper we propose a novel routing strategy in which the optimal paths between all pairs of nodes are chosen according to a cost function that incorporates degrees of nodes in paths. Results on large...
