In this article, we use the cross-entropy method for noisy optimization for fitting generalized linear multilevel models through maximum likelihood. We propose specifications of the instrumental distr
Global threats to freshwater resources are prompting widespread concern about their management and implications for well-being. In recent decades, hydrologic ecosystem services (HES) have emerged as a
Clinicians report that numerous personal and environmental factors affect their ability to address sexuality in their practice. However, no validated tool in any language exists to assess these factor
Because of the high-dimensional nature of partial differential equations (PDEs), identifying accurate models of processes, the behaviour of which is governed by PDEs, is a challenging problem which st
Far UV-C, informally defined as electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 200 and 230 nm, has characteristics that are well-suited to control of airborne pathogens. Specifically, Far UV-C has
