Nový přístup ke sčítání lidu, domů a bytů v Libérii: Od tradičního přístupu ke kombinovanému přístupu
No full textThis thesis aims to define the future of population statistics in Liberia by providing a roadmap on how Liberia could leverage on the experiences of other nations to transition from a traditional-based census to a combined approach. It is the view of the author that the Combined Census approach would not only improve the quality of population statistics in Liberia but is also a cost-saving method for Liberia, especially as a poor and underdeveloped nation.Tato práce si klade za cíl definovat budoucnost populační statistiky v Libérii poskytnutím plánu, jak by Libérie mohla využít zkušeností jiných národů k přechodu od tradičního sčítání lidu k kombinovanému přístupu. Autor je toho názoru, že přístup kombinovaného sčítání by nejen zlepšil kvalitu statistik populace v Libérii, ale je také metodou úspory nákladů pro Libérii, zejména jako chudý a málo rozvinutý národ

Handbook of ocular genetics
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index"Many serious, potentially blinding eye disorders have a genetic basis. Currently, there are relatively few ocular geneticists in the world, yet inherited eye disease is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Significant strides have been made in gene identification and acquisition of knowledge on the underlying mechanisms of hereditary eye disease. The field of ocular genetics is becoming an increasingly relevant part of ophthalmologists'purview. This has resulted in a dire need for a comprehensive textbook ophthalmologists and other professionals who work with patients with genetic disorders can utilize to gain a better understanding of inherited eye disorders.The Wills Eye Handbook of Ocular Genetics, by Alex Levin, Mario Zanolli, and Jenina Capasso of Wills Eye Hospital, is a practical, reader-friendly guide on the diagnosis and management of ophthalmic genetic conditions. Every chapter begins with a disease overview, followed by relevant modern genetic concepts, pathways to attaining the correct diagnosis, and pitfalls and pearls gleaned from years of hands-on expertise. At the end of each chapter, questions and answers enable readers to test their knowledge in real-life scenarios they might face in everyday practice. The ultimate goal of this clinically robust handbook is to facilitate optimal patient management and outcomes.Key FeaturesFundamentals, including basic genetics, inheritance patterns, genetic testing, and ethical issuesPatient-centered genetic counseling issues such as reproduction, dealing with emotional reactions, prognosis, and future optionsAnterior segment disorders - from corneal dystrophies and aniridia - to childhood cataract and microphthalmiaA broad spectrum of vitreoretinopathies and retinal diseases including incontinentia pigmenti, retinitis pigmentosa, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, choroideremia, Stargardt disease, achromatopsia, and juvenile X-linked retinoschisisThis textbook is essential reading for practitioners at all levels and in all subspecialties including ophthalmology and genetics.

Multi-Objective Calibration For Agent-Based Models
No full textAgent-based modelling is already proving to be an immensely useful tool for scientific and industrial modelling applications. Whilst the building of such models will always be something between an art and a science, once a detailed model has been built, the process of parameter calibration should be performed as precisely as possible. This task is often made difficult by the proliferation of model parameters with non-linear interactions. In addition to this, these models generate a large number of outputs, and their ‘accuracy’ can be measured by many different, often conflicting, criteria. In this paper we demonstrate the use of multi-objective optimisation tools to calibrate just such an agent-based model. We use an agent-based model of a financial market as an exemplar and calibrate the model using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The technique is automated and requires no explicit weighting of criteria prior to calibration. The final choice of parameter set can be made after calibration with the additional input of the domain expert

Rubanick v. Witco Chemical Corp. and Landrigan v. Celotex Corp.: The Admissibility of Expert Testimony in Toxic Tort Litigation
No full textIn toxic tort litigation, plaintiffs must ordinarily establish causation through the use of expert testimony. This paper provides a discussion and analysis of the New Jersey Supreme Court\u27s decisions in Rubanick v. Witco Chemical Corp. and Landrigan v. Celotex Corp., which broaden the standard governing the admissibility of expert testimony in toxic tort litigation. The author begins with a discussion of the general acceptance standard and the cases leading up to Rubanick and Landrigan. Next, the author analyzes and discusses the Rubanick and Landrigan decisions, and the split between the federal circuits as to whether district courts should actively or passively review expert testimony. The author concludes by stating that other jurisdictions should follow the Rubanick and Landrigan holdings in determining the admissibility of scientific theories of causation in toxic tort litigation
