Utilitarian Approaches for Multi-Metric Optimization in VLSI Circuit Design and Spatial Clustering
… New methods are required to examine these metrics in a unified manner, thus necessitating the need for multi-metric optimization. The optimization algorithms need to be accurate and efficient enough to handle large circuits. As the size of an optimization problem increases significantly, …

Multi-scale structural health monitoring using wireless smart sensors
… efforts have been directed toward single-metric applications. Multi-metric monitoring, in combination with physics-based models, has great potential to enhance SHM methods; however, the efficacy of the multi-metric SHM has not been illustrated using WSS networks to date, due primarily to …

Augmenting large language models with static code analysis for accelerated software development and quality improvements
… Local Chain-of-Thought (LCoT) reasoning, and multi-metric quality validation. It supports both cloud-based and fully local LLM deployment. Empirical evaluation on 70 repositories across seven programming languages shows that NGQA resolves 83.5% of issues, improves PassRatio by 16.5%, CodeBLEU …

Biotic Assessment Of Two Central Kentucky Streams: Examining The Effects Of Wastewater Treatment And Anthropogenic Disturbance
… influencing stream degradation. Using multi-metric bioassessments for habitat, fishes, and macroinvertebrates this study sought to evaluate the relative health of both streams and establish a reference survey of the habitat and biota of these two streams, relative to the presence of a …

Development of Biological Reference Conditions of Wadeable Streams in the Major Ecoregions and Subecoregions of Georgia
… impairment of wadeable streams and rivers are multi-metric invertebrate indices. Such indices are assembled from metrics in broad categories that represent different aspects of community structure and function (e.g. richness, composition, tolerance/intolerance, feeding group, and habit). …

Assessment of Aquatic Invertebrate Communities of Tributaries of the Buffalo River, Arkansas, and Evaluation of Indices of Community Integrity
<p>A multi-metric Buffalo River Index of Community Integrity (BRICI) was developed by the National Park Service to assess the aquatic invertebrate community of the Buffalo River, Arkansas. The BRICI has been successfully used on the main-stem of the river, but not evaluated on tributaries in the …

Model-based feedforward-feedback control for real-time hybrid simulation of large-scale structures
… The feedback controller is flexible to include multi-metric measurements for improved tracking of higher-order derivatives, moving beyond the traditional focus solely on displacement tracking. The proposed approach is illustrated for predefined trajectories as well as RTHS of both single and …

Autonomous and Responsive Surveillance Network Management for Adaptive Space Situational Awareness
… sensor network management for tracking multiple maneuvering and non-maneuvering satellites with a diversely populated Space Object Surveillance and Identification network. The proposed methods integrate suboptimal Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) with covariance …

Biodiversity Assessment: moving towards an evidence-based index for biodiversity offsetting
… employed; (a) to examine the sensitivity of a metric proposed for pilot offsets in England, and (b) to develop a novel multi-metric index with potential for wide use in biodiversity offsetting. From an array of forty five metrics a reduced index was produced which conveys information from …

Towards a quantitative assessment of early-stage Parkinson’s disease using BioVRSea paradigm
… and patient quality of life. BioVRSea is a novel multi-metric measurement setup used to quantify physiology and postural control responses to a moving platform and virtual reality (VR) with biomedical sensors, such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), heart rate (HR), and …

Behavioural Ecology of Large Tuna
… disruption (mean: 11 days, range: 2-26 days). Multi-metric assessments revealed spatial displacement, diel activity patterns, and depth use recovered at different rates with high individual variation. Chapter 5 compares behavioural responses to temperature between ABT and yellowfin tuna …

Monitoring and assessment of macroinvertebrate communities in support of river management in northern Vietnam
… for watercourses in the specific river. Multivariate analyses using CCA and Bray-Curtis cluster analysis provided a similar discrimination between pristine and impacted sites in the Du river basin. Qualitative biotic indices including the BMWP-Viet proved to be appropriate for use in the …

Improving the valuation of research and development : a composite of real options, decision analysis and benefit valuation frameworks
… across a range of project uncertainties. Multi-metric valuation methods and scenario analyses can transform complex benefits into dollar values that are compatible with the financial valuation model. A case study based on an automotive producer's investments in advanced materials R&D …

Immune Infiltrates in Breast Cancer: Clinical Significance from Histopathology to Prognosis
… cutoffs for artefact percent, my primary QC metric which measured the total tissue area covered by damage, detritus, or non-specific staining. Ultimately, it was determined that cutoffs of 25% for ER+ samples and 95% for ER- samples produced the optimal balance of quality and sample size for …
