Multi-Armed bandit problem revisited

In this paper, we revisit aspects of the multi-armed bandit problem in the earlier work (Ref. 1). An alternative proof of the optimality of the Gittins index rule is derived under the discounted reward criterion. The proof does not involve an explicit use of the interchange argument. The ideas of the proof are extended to derive the asymptotic optimality of the index rule under the average reward criterion. Problems involving superprocesses and arm-acquiring bandits are also reexamined. The properties of an optimal policy for an arm-acquiring bandit are discussed.This research was supported by NSF Grant IRI-91-20074.     

Emulsion polymerization: From fundamental mechanisms to process developments

Emulsion polymers are “products by process” whose main properties are determined during polymerization. In this scenario of margins reduction, increasing competition, and public sensitivity to environmental issues, the challenge is to achieve an efficient production of high‐quality materials in a consistent, safe, and environmentally friendly way. This highlight reviews the investigations carried out at The University of the Basque Country to develop a knowledge‐based strategy to achieve these goals. First, the research in fundamental mechanisms is discussed. This includes studies in radical entry and exit, oil‐soluble initiators, propagation‐rate constants of acrylic monomers, processes involved in the formation of branched and crosslinked polymers, microstructure modification by postreaction operations, the formation of particle morphology, and reactive surfactants. The advanced mathematical models developed in the group are also reviewed. In the second part, the advances in process development (optimization, online monitoring and control, monomer removal, production of high‐solids, low‐viscosity latices, and process intensification) are presented. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A statistical process control approach to selecting a warm-up period for a discrete-event simulation

The selection of a warm-up period for a discrete-event simulation continues to be problematic. A variety of selection methods have been devised, and are briefly reviewed. It is apparent that no one method can be recommended above any other. A new approach, based upon the principles of statistical process control, is described (SPC method). Because simulation output data are often highly autocorrelated and potentially non-normal, the batch means method is employed in constructing the control chart. The SPC method is tested on seven data sets and encouraging results are obtained concerning its accuracy. The approach is also discussed with respect to its ease of implementation, simplicity, generality of use and requirements for parameter estimation.

Near optimality of stochastic control in systems with unknown parameter processes

Stochastic control for systems with an unknown parameter is considered in this paper. The underlying problem is to minimize a functional subject to a system described by a singularly perturbed differential equation with an unknown parameter process driven by fast fluctuating random disturbances. This problem arises in the context of stochastic adaptive control, adaptive signal processing, and failure-prone manufacturing systems. Due to the nature of the wide-bandwidth noise processes, identifying the parameter process for eacht is very hard since the driving noise changes very rapidly. An alternative approach is used, and an auxiliary control problem is introduced to overcome the difficulties. By means of weak convergence methods and comparison control techniques, nearly optimal controls are obtained.This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant DMS-9022139 and DMS-9224372.

Treatment of turkeys with nitroimidazoles: Impact of the selection of target analytes and matrices on an effective residue control

In several animal studies turkeys were treated with different nitroimidazoles (Dimetridazole, Metronidazole, Ronidazole, Ipronidazole). After slaughtering, different matrices (breast muscle, leg muscle, liver, plasma, retina) were analysed for their analyte content, for the percentage of hydroxy-metabolites, for homogeneity, stability and bound, and conjugated residues. The tests showed that for animals treated with Dimetridazole and Ipronidazole, the hydroxy-metabolites (2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (HMMNI) and 1-methyl-2-(2′-hydroxyisopropyl)-5-nitroimidazole (IPZOH)) are the relevant target analytes, whereas for animals treated with Ronidazole and Metronidazole, the parent drug itself is the most relevant analyte. In muscle samples an inhomogeneous analyte distribution was found. Degradation studies showed a rapid decline of the analyte concentration in muscle and liver samples stored at room temperature and a decelerated degradation at 4 °C. In plasma and retina samples, however, the analytes were stable during storage under the same conditions. In these matrices the analytes were found to be present in considerably higher concentrations than in muscle or liver and could be detected for a longer period of time after withdrawal of the medication. Therefore, plasma or retina can be recommended as target matrices for the residue control of nitroimidazoles in turkeys.     

A Java-based control system for the Orsay tandem accelerator

A new control system was designed for the tandem MP-9 at Orsay. Because of the existing devices located on high voltage platforms and the lack of space inside the accelerator, in-house electronic cards based on micro-controllers and an optical fieldbus were developed to collect data. VME processors under VxWorks, a real time operating system, manage the fieldbus, concentrate the accelerator information and transmit it to the supervisory software through the ethernet network. This software consists of a collection of Java virtual machines (JVM) running on several Unix work-stations and PCs under Windows. Some of the Java virtual machines manage apparatus, instruments, local display and connections to an object database and VME concentrators. Other manage general synoptics. JVMs communicate between themselves with RMI protocol and JRPC with VME concentrators. So the supervisory software can be spread over several control stations throughout the network.
