Subgraph classification through neighborhood pooling
… we propose Stochastic Subgraph Neighborhood Pooling (SSNP), which jointly aggregates the subgraph and its neighborhood (i.e., external topology) information without any computationally expensive operations such as labeling tricks. To improve scalability and generalization further, we also …

Cooperative resource pooling in multihomed mobile networks
The ubiquity of multihoming amongst mobile devices presents a unique opportunity for users to co-operate, sharing their available Internet connectivity, forming multihomed mobile networks on demand. This model provides users with vast potential to increase the quality of service they receive. …

Virtual pooling approximation using longest path network optimization
… or sacrifice customer service level. Virtual pooling can be a powerful technique for reducing held inventory and improving customer service level. In such a system, physical inventory is maintained in multiple locations, but a strong transshipment network allows inventory to be continuously …

Pooling and segmentation to improve primary care prescription management
… is used to estimate the impact of segmenting and pooling the prescription workflows into a central prescription management group, resulting in recommendations for a new prescription management system. Interventions on pharmacy/practice coordination for faxes, modification of the voicemail system, …

Visualizing adversaries : transparent pooling approaches for decision support in cybersecurity
… or use in ESTABLO. A coevolutionary variant, POOLING, was then created using this same principle of combining multiple variants. POOLING runs competitive coevolutionary algorithm variants, combines their solutions after every generation, and seeds the next generation with the top solutions …

Using single corn kernel classification, pooling, and simulation to address skewness and clustering in aflatoxin distribution
… contamination in corn is relatively low, pooling was proposed as a more efficient and potentially more economical approach to aflatoxin screening. In Chapter 3, four pooling strategies (one-dimensional pooling by row, one-dimensional pooling by column, two-dimensional pooling, Shifted …

Decomposition algorithms for global solution of deterministic and stochastic pooling problems in natural gas value chains
… to solve both deterministic and stochastic pooling problems to global optimality. Convergence of the algorithm to a global optimum is proved and then it is implemented both in GAMS and C++ to get the best performance. A series of example problems are solved, both with the proposed Benders …

Using forecast variability and risk pooling to determine optimal safety stock levels within a supply chain
… to take advantage of the concept of risk-pooling. With risk-pooling Bay Networks will be able to increase customer service levels with less inventory- a win -win situation considering that the typical tradeoff consists of increasing inventory to improve service levels. Specifically, it …

Applications of risk pooling for the optimization of spare parts with stochastic demand within large scale networks
Amazon is able to deliver millions of packages to customers every day through its Fulfillment Center (FC) network that is powered by miles of material handling equipment (MHE) such as conveyor belts. Unfortunately, this reliance on MHE means that failures could cripple an entire FC. The …

Loan Pooling as a Basis of Calculation of the Allowance for Loan Losses for Waco Production Credit Association
This study was conducted to determine a pooling method of calculating Waco Production Credit Association's (PCA) allowance for loan losses which would incorporate the factors of weather, yield, gross receipts, and production costs that occur within Waco PCA's loan portfolio. The December 31, 1990, …

Electoral Systems and Ethnic Conciliation: A Structured, Focused Analysis of Vote-Pooling in Northern Ireland Elections 1998–2011
<p>This research project examines the role of electoral system rules in affecting the extent of conciliatory behavior and cross-ethnic coalition making in Northern Ireland. It focuses on the role of the Single Transferable Vote (STV) electoral system in shaping party and voter incentives in a …

Semantic segmentation architecture based on Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling and convolutional based attention module for mapping of burned areas in satellite images
Computer vision is a rapidly advancing field within artificial intelligence and deep learning. It has found applications in various areas, including climate. Remote sensing data is now widely accessible; medium-resolution satellite images can be obtained for free. A custom dataset was created to …

The effect of Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit regulations and standard pooling & servicing agreements on commercial mortgage backed security work out success and profitability
This paper examines REMIC regulations and Pooling and Servicing Agreements in an effort to ascertain if either the REMIC regulations or standard Pooling and Servicing Agreements are unnecessarily restrictive in the context of maximizing the profitability and minimizing losses associated with CMBS …

The implications of unverifiable fair-value accounting : evidence from the political economy of goodwill accounting
… political pressure over its proposal to abolish pooling accounting: pro-pooling firms can be linked-via political contributions-to U.S. Congresspersons pressuring the FASB on this issue. This result is interesting given the proposal to abolish pooling was due in part to the Securities and …

Surveillance Enhancing Strategies for the Mitigation of Emerging Cattle Parasite Theileria orientalis Ikeda
… Expansion of surveillance testing through sample pooling previously infeasible as the high incidence of asymptomatic infection makes prevalence difficult to anticipate with enough confidence to optimize pooling approaches, which can become costly with high misestimation of prevalence. This work …

On Counting Substructures with Graph Neural Networks
… of subgraphs is encoded by several iterative pooling steps. While recently proposed higher-order networks show a remarkable increase in the expressive power through a single recursion on larger neighborhoods followed by iterative pooling, the power of deeper recursion in GNNs without any …
