AN ADAPTIVE PARALLEL EI INFILLING STRATEGY EXTENDED BY NON-PARAMETRIC PMC SAMPLING SCHEME FOR EFFICIENT GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION

An Adaptive Parallel EI Infilling Strategy Extended by Non-Parametric PMC Sampling Scheme for Efficient Global Optimization

This paper presents a novel adaptive parallel Expected Improvement (EI) infilling strategy for Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) by introducing a two-staged Non-parametric Population Monte Carlo Sampling (NPMS) scheme.The samples are uniformly generated from EI function in the first stage and converge to sub-domains of high EI values thresholded

In Vivo Dosimetry for Superficial High Dose Rate Brachytherapy with Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters: A Comparison Study with Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors

The purpose of the study was to calibrate and commission optically-stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLDs) for in vivo measurements in contact-based 192Ir treatments for superficial high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy in place of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs).Dose linearity and dose rate dependence were tested by va
