Abnormality of the placental vasculature affects placental thickness
Michael Yampolsky, Carolyn M. Salafia, Oleksandr Shlakhter +3
Our empirical modeling suggests that deformation of placental vascular growth is associated with abnormal placental chorionic surface shape. Altered chorionic surface shape is asso…
Mean surface shape of a human placenta
Michael Yampolsky, Oleksandr Shlakhter, Carolyn M. Salafia +1
The chorionic plate (or "fetal surface") of the human placenta is drawn as round, with the umbilical cord inserted roughly at the center, but variability of this shape is common. T…
Acceleration Operators in the Value Iteration Algorithms for Average Reward Markov Decision Processes
Oleksandr Shlakhter, Chi-Guhn Lee
One of the most widely used methods for solving average cost MDP problems is the value iteration method. This method, however, is often computationally impractical and restricted i…
Modeling the variability of shapes of a human placenta
Michael Yampolsky, Carolyn M. Salafia, Oleksandr Shlakhter +3
While it is well-understood what a normal human placenta should look like, a deviation from the norm can take many possible shapes. In this paper we propose a mechanism for this va…
Acceleration Operators in the Value Iteration Algorithms for Markov Decision Processes
Oleksandr Shlakhter, Chi-Guhn Lee, Dmitry Khmelev +1
We study the general approach to accelerating the convergence of the most widely used solution method of Markov decision processes with the total expected discounted reward. Inspir…
