Subjects: Egyptian short story

Variation of CEA

description: This paper provides an analysis of the Arabic language used in two of the post-revolutionary works of Tawfīq al-Ḥakīm. The dialog of the 1952 short story, "I've Got It, I've Got It," from the collection, The Art of Literature, is examined along with the dialog from the 1956 play, The Deal. In addition to a language analysis and an overview of the life and works of al-Ḥakīm, the relationship between al-Ḥakīm's themes and language usage in his works as a means of promoting either Egyptian nationalism or Arab nationalism is also postulated. Furthermore, this paper reviews the social, political, and linguistic climate in Egypt that may have had an influence on al-Ḥakīm's choice of subject matter, while also presenting theories of variation in the Arabic language and the signifcance of language in identity creation and nationalism promotion. al-Ḥakīm is known for creating a third language as a means of generating a sense of interconnectedness among the less educated people of the Arabic-speaking world, and this paper looks at the absence or presence of the third language, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and Colloquial Egyptian Arabic (CEA) in the two works. The analysis is two-fold, one section is a qualitative analysis of language tokens in both the play and the short story, while another section is a quantitative analysis of negation in the play. This study is unique in that it provides an analysis of language variation in literary works in the context of societal and political events.

description: Protein structural bioinformatics is facing new challenges raised from needs of analyzing an increasing number of solved protein structures, low-resolution structural data from electron microscopy or tomography, predicted structures, as well as structures of unknown function. To enable efficient global and local protein structure analysis, our group has been using a novel protein surface representation with the 3D Zernike descriptor (3DZD). The 3DZD is a series expansion of a three dimensional mathematical function that can represent a 3D object in a rotation and translational invariant fashion. We show several successful applications of the protein surface representation using 3DZD in our group. 3DZD is very suitable for rapid real-time searching of global and local protein structures. On our webserver, 3D-Surfer, structure comparison against the entire Protein Data Bank can be performed within a few seconds. For local surfaces, particularly, we can perform efficient ligand binding pocket comparison as well as cross-comparison against ligand (drug) molecules. 3DZD can also identify complementary shapes in two molecules, which is very convenient for protein-protein docking prediction. Our new docking algorithm, LZerD (local 3D Zernike descriptor-based Docking algorithm), uses the 3DZD for capturing local shape complementarity of interacting protein surfaces. LZerD has been further extended recently for multiple protein docking (Multi-LZerD) and also for fitting multiple protein structures into a density map of electron microscopy (EM-LZerD).

Molecular studies of lipoprotein lipase

description: Molecular defects in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene account for a significant proportion of the occurrence of the massive hypertriglyceridemia and other clinical manifestations of the chylomicronemia syndrome.  Furthermore, some published reports suggest that the heterozygous state for LPL deficiency leads to a reduced capacity to clear triglyceride-rice lipoproteins from plasma; when this clearance is saturated through dietary or hormonal factors, moderate hypertriglyceridemia may be observed.  The LPL gene of four hypertriglyceridemia subjects was examined for the presence of molecular variants.  In one subject with the classical presentation of the chylomicronemia syndrome and documented deficiency of LPL activity in post heparin plasma, we have identified a mutation leading to the substitution of glutamic acid for glycine at residue 195 of the mature enzyme.  The patient was homozygous for this mutation. By in vitro mutagenesis and transient expression in cultured mammalian cells, it was shown that the protein encoded by this mutated sequence lacked catalytic activity, and data on the homologous enzyme pancreatic lipase indicate that this mutation occurred within the catalytic domain of the enzyme.  By contrast, we identified two other mutation in two of the three other hypertriglyceridemic subjects with moderate hypertriglyceridemia that did not appear of functional significance.  Therefore, we have found no evidence of role of molecular defects of LPL in these milder cases.

Subjects: Gas-solid interfaces
Calcium carbonate

description: A method is presented for determining kinetic parameters of reversible gas-solid  reactions, which are consistent with known thermodynamic values. To our knowledge,  this is the first time that a method has been created for such a purpose. The calcium  carbonate system, CaCC>3(s) CaO(s) + C02(g), was used as a model for this method.  Activation energies for the forward and reverse reaction were found to be 260 + 25 kJ  mol"1 and 77 + 25 kJ mol" respectively. The nature of the reaction interface is also  explored, through hydration. A review of the calcium carbonate system and some of the  more common methods employed in kinetic analysis of solid-state reactions are also  presented.

description: Within this thesis, I will be exploring the notion of authenticity in performance. I have found that the word ‘authenticity' can take on a litany of meanings and is not necessarily synonymous with ‘actuality.' Throughout this thesis, I am asking: Can something be fabricated construction, yet hold some sort of compelling truth that convinces us of its reality, in some way? I believe there is authenticity, a deep sense of truth, within even the most make-believe of situations. Several creative methods for exploring authenticity are expounded upon, including: ‘stage peacocking,' preliminary regression, imaginative play, creating a persona, physical embodiment, dilation or stage presence, amplification, asymmetry and performance identity. This thesis is in no way a comprehensive list of how to experience authenticity on stage, but is a guide built upon my own, personal experiences in choreography and performance to offer insight and direction for others who are on a similar quest.

description: A number of datasets from wave tank and field measurements have been assembled from published data. For fixed wind speed, the peak frequency has F∝x−1/3 and the significant wave height has H∝x1/2. It has been confirmed following earlier work that wind speed should not be used to non-dimensionalise wave parameters, such as the frequency or the significant wave height because the wind-speed dependence is stronger than expected for the assembled data sets. New parameters have recently been proposed that use fetch, x, and the number of waves to create non-dimensional wave height and wave period, H~ and T~. The applicability of these quantities to the assembled datasets has also been investigated. A new non-dimensional relationship has been found empirically that relates the wave steepness, ak to the dimensionless fetch, ν, of the waves, (ak)2ν=130 (or H2k3x=260), which has the property of being wind-speed invariant. The estimated wind-speed dependence varied with fetch, although the ratio between the wind-speed exponents for H and F remained constant at −1/3 for all fetches.

A novel use of sampling pressure from sidestream capnometer
Creators: name: Kaustaban, Veena
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015

description: Amplitude and shape of the respiratory carbon dioxide (CO2) signal (capnogram) are not always a true reflection of the patient's respiratory status, especially during delivery of supplemental oxygen (O2), and can result in false alarms. The goal of the project was to provide a more reliable source of patient monitoring and diagnosis by using the respiratory pressure signal to detect breaths in the presence of supplemental O2. The Respironics LoFlo sidestream capnometer was used in the project to record the two signals. In preliminary tests, it was observed that the sampling pressure obtained from the capnometer was analogous to respiratory pressure and was hence used in analysis as its representative. The sampling flow signal was also acquired from the LoFlo system and studied. The aforementioned signals were recorded from 4 human volunteers who had 100% O2 or air delivered through a nasal cannula. The end-tidal CO2 (etCO2) was 2 ± 0.4 % lower, the sampling pressure and the sampling flow were 3 ± 0.9 times and 4.7 ± 1.2 times greater in amplitude, respectively, with O2, than their corresponding values with air. Another finding in the presence of O2 was the occurrence of double peaks in the pressure signal during expiration. It was hypothesized that O2, being more viscous than air, caused the capnometer to behave differently in its presence. This was confirmed by a series of bench experiments. Clinical data were collected from patients undergoing colonoscopy with supplemental O2 delivered at 6 liters per minute (LPM). The first step in analysis was detection of O2 from the pressure signal so that any observed double peak is accounted for and the amplitude of the signal is not misinterpreted. Breath rate was then calculated from the CO2 and pressure signals and episodes of apnea were detected. The pressure and CO2 signals detected 99% and 98% of apneic events, respectively, with a respective specificity of 100% and 99%. When considered individually, both signals had a sensitivity of 96%. The pressure signal resulted in 60% fewer false positive results than the CO2 signal, thus greatly reducing the rate of false alarms. The pressure signal, being instantaneous, also detected respiratory effort before the capnogram. It is concluded that the sampling pressure signal can provide more reliable and accurate respiratory information than the capnogram.
Single particle model for in flight sorbent capture of mercury

description: Mercury contamination in the planet's oceans and lakes presents a growing threat  to human health and safety. The bioaccumulation of methyl mercury in fish and other  aquatic life is rendering them increasingly unfit for human consumption. Accumulation of  mercury in groundwater is also a growing hazard. Coal fired power plants are currently the  largest anthropogenic source of mercury, but luckily, their contribution to global mercury  levels can be abated with the installation of proper controls. Activated carbon injection  (ACI) is among the most developed and promising of the available control technologies.  To optimize ACI processes, models are necessary to properly gauge the effectiveness of  various sorbents.  This study developed an entrained flow model to build on previous work and further  investigate factors that may influence mercury adsorption. For qualitative analysis,  the model requires an understanding of reactor conditions, sorbent parameters, and  packed-bed isotherms. Quantitative prediction of mercury adsorption is possible if enough  information is provided about the sorbent and reactor. Namely, apparent density, porosity,  average pore diameter, BET surface area, maximum uptake, equilibrium sorbent  parameters, residence time, temperature, sorbent particle size and distribution, inlet  concentration, and sorbent feed rate composition must be known. External mass transfer  effects exclusively limit mercury adsorption when sorbent particle diameter is less than  roughly 1 micron, and intraparticle diffusions exclusively limit mercury adsorption at  diameters greater than one 100 microns. As expected, large BET surface areas and  residence times favor adsorption.  It is shown that the isotherm chosen in a model is not nearly as important as the  adsorption parameters used in it. The Langmuir and Freunlich adsorption models are  both good choices for modeling of intraparticle diffusion. Increased mercury adsorption  can be shown with decreasing average particle size, increasing feed rate, and increasing  average pore diameter. Full scale data are not entirely consistent with the trend of  decreasing particle size and increasing adsorption; the cause is not yet understood.
From colonies to communities: nest relocation and resource discovery in ants

Resource discovery

description: Ants are social organisms, likely a key behavior explaining their high ecological success. Among the benefits are enhanced foraging opportunities, group defense, and living inside nests, which help ameliorate environmental extremes. Yet sociality brings new challenges, among them a sessile life. In this dissertation I studied two crucial aspects of ants that likely evolved as a response to their sessile nature. One aspect is understanding the costs and benefits of nest relocation. To address this question, I studied the behavior of the ant Pheidole dentata, which is a common species of the American southeast. I found that colonies relocated often, on average every 16 days. Colonies used a variety of nest types, such as the ground, tree trunks, and under rocks. Colonies nesting in the ground were the most likely to relocate compared to other locations. Leaf-litter depth and vapor pressure deficit also increased the likelihood of colonies relocating. There were also spatial and temporal variations in relocation rates. Thus, relocation is affected by various abiotic conditions affecting colonies simultaneously. Ant nests also gave colonies a tempered environment compared to external temperature conditions. Internal nest temperatures fluctuated much less than air temperatures, and these were on average lower than external ones. Colonies appear to choose locations that remain cooler than adjacent locations. They also avoid places where temperatures will exceed 38°C, possibly because scouts are unable to forage at those temperatures. Thus, colonies appear to have some thermoregulatory control through relocation. A second behavior that I studied is resource discovery in ants, as the ability to find resources is crucial to their survival. In general, more ants searching for food meant faster discovery, either at the community level or at the species level. Nevertheless, the efficiency of scouts finding food differed by species. Thus, scouts of some species were able to find food faster than foragers of other species. These results highlight that discovery in ant communities depends on both the number of ants searching for food, and the individual abilities of workers at locating resources.

description: People with Parkinson's (PwP) experience gait impairment that can significantly reduce their quality of life. External feedback such as visual, auditory, and tactile cues can be used to improve the mobility of PwP. However, current cueing strategies are limited as the same cue is provided regardless of the person’s condition or medication state. This thesis proposes an adaptive cue-provision framework that can provide personalized assistance based on the individual’s real-time response. The framework is validated with healthy adults, older adults, and PwP. The results show that the adaptive framework can improve gait performance in all three groups of participants.

description: It is often assumed that rational agents are unified agents. As a normative feature of agency, the idea that fully rational creatures are, in a certain sense, unified, suggests that understanding ourselves as rational creatures requires understanding our reasons for acting as reasons that can be represented with a single account of agency. In this dissertation, I argue against such a view by showing that features of our own agency preclude constructing such a representation. To be the type of creatures we are, we have to act in ways that cannot be represented with a single, unified theory of rational agency. Instead, making sense of ourselves as rational creatures requires a number of different models that cannot be nicely fitted together. The upshot is that a unified account of rational agency may not be possible.

description: Marine organisms have been shown to produce a wide variety of biologically active secondary metabolites, often without precedent among known terrestrial natural products. As part of a continuing program to screen Fijian marine invertebrates for novel bioactive compounds, two organisms, the sponge Jaspis johnstoni and the didemnid tunicate Lissoclinum patella, have been investigated.  Isolation of the active constituents of these organisms was directed by various bioassays and utilized standard chromatographic techniques. The structures were solved using a variety of spectroscopic methods with the major emphasis placed on high field two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR), single crystal x-ray diffraction and tandem mass spectrometry. Several of the structure proofs also relied heavily on analysis of key degradation products.  The major active metabolite in the Jaspis sponge was found to be a novel compound of mixed peptide/polyketide biosynthesis called jaspamide. Jaspamide is a potent natural insecticide and antifungal agent with moderate cytotoxicity. The 7-deazapurine nucleosides toyocamycin and 5-(methoxycarbonyl)tubercidin and the corresponding aglycones were also isolated.  Previous work has shown L. patella, collected from Palau and Australia, to produce a family of cytotoxic, cyclic peptides all containing a thiazole and usually an oxazoline amino acid. In contrast, the Fijian tunicate contained a series of thiazole-containing macrolides, the patellazoles, and a group of modified, thiazoline-containing cyclic peptides, the patellins.  The patellazoles were extremely effective antitumor compounds in the National Cancer Institute's human cell line protocol with mean IC(50)s of 10{-3} to less than 10{-6}mu-g/mL. They also exhibited potent antiviral activity in vitro but were too toxic for in vivo use. The structures were solved primarily using NMR techniques, including a new phase-sensitive 2D INADEQUATE experiment.  The three-dimensional structure of patellin 2 was solved by x-ray crystallography and the two-dimensional structures of patellins 1 and 3-5 were assigned primarily by fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry. These peptides are unique in having two modified threonine or serine dimethylallyl ethers and in the tendency for most members of the family to exist in two conformations, the ratio of which is a function of solvent.

Subjects: subject: RL
subject: Backpropagation

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) aims at creating controllers for discrete and continuous problems and was initially inspired by neuroscience. However, the most successful methods are relying on backpropagation for calculating the gradients of the loss-function. The backpropagation algorithm is considered to be biologically implausible suggesting that it will not suffice when striving for human-like learning abilities. Neuroscience has brought forth different models of synaptic plasticity by observing isolated neurons. Such models could serve as alternatives to the ubiquitous backpropagation algorithm for calculating changes to network parameters. Neural Regulatory Networks are special RNNs whose inner states are calculated according to dynamics derived from biological observations. In this thesis, a novel framework based on state-of-the-art RL techniques and using NRNs, is introduced and experimented with by applying it to a cartpole balancing task. Two different methods of incorporating learning rules based on models of synaptic plasticity are investigated: the custom gradients method replaces the real gradient calculated by backpropagation with a biologically plausible synaptic plasticity rule, the plasticity dynamics method leaves the gradients unchanged but introduces additional plasticity dynamics that act throughout the entire unrolling of network states. Both methods were tested with three different learning rules: hebb’s rule, oja’s rule and the BCM rule. The results suggest that training can be accelerated when using the BCM rule.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of instituting collaborative practice in the Intensive Care Unit of a community hospital.  The conceptual framework for the study was based on Kurt Lewin's theory of Force Field Analysis.  Determining the forces involved in a setting, and categorizing them as restraining or supporting forces provide information for effecting change.  From a force field analysis, a determination can be made of whether or not a change is actually possible.  Restraining and supporting forces were identified by administering questionnaires to nurses, physicians, and administrative personnel who would be involved in or affect by change.  Evaluations of the questionnaires as to supporting, restraining or neutral were completed by a panel of six judges.  The panel included a Director of Nursing, Director of Continuing Education, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Medical director of an Intensive Care Unit, a physician who was one of the highest admitters to an Intensive Care Unit over a period of one year, and the Director of Institutional Research in the hospital being studied.  Results of the study supported the feasibility of implementing collaborative practice in a small community hospital in Ogden, Utah.

description: Cortical afferents excite striatal efferent neurons through activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA receptors, which can be modulated by D2 dopamine receptors. The negative coupling of D2 dopamine receptors to adenylyl cyclase has led to the presumption that protein kinase A (PKA) plays a necessary role in D2/NMDA receptor interactions and in immediate early gene expression induced by D2 receptor blockade. It has been suggested from previous studies that activation of PKA by D2 receptor blockade may lead to NMDA receptor phosphorylation in the dendrites or phosphorylation of transcription factors in the nucleus. Thus, the levels and cellular localization of activated PKA may determine if D2 antagonist-mediated gene expression is dependent on NMDA receptor activation. However, this has never been directly demonstrated in vivo . This dissertation tested the overall hypothesis that immediate early gene expression induced by the D2 dopamine receptor antagonist eticlopride is dependent on PKA activation and that the levels of activated PKA will determine whether striatal immediate early gene induction in response to D2 receptor blockade is dependent on NMDA receptor activation in vivo .  Specific aim 1 examined the effects of NMDA receptor antagonists on striatal gene expression after administration of low or high doses of eticlopride. The results showed that NMDA antagonists blocked induction by a low dose of eticlopride in all regions of the striatum, whereas induction by a higher dose of eticlopride was only blocked in the medial and central striatum. Fewer D2 dopamine receptors and thus less PKA activation in these regions might have explained why the expression was more sensitive to NMDA receptor blockade. Therefore, specific aim 2 examined the effects of PKA inhibition or activation on eticlopride-induced gene expression. The results suggest that PKA is not solely responsible for this gene expression. Specific aim 3 was designed to determine the effects of other signaling pathways on eticlopride-mediated gene expression. Inhibition of the mitogen-activated (MAP) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent (CaM) protein kinase pathways had no effect on eticlopride-induced expression.  These findings suggest for the first time that PKA is not necessary for D2 antagonist-mediated gene induction and that multiple signaling pathways may be involved.
title:  Lo spazio mitico come fondamento dell’identità nazionale. I Kresy nella letteratura polacca

description: Nell’articolo si analizzano alcuni aspetti del mito letterario dei Kresy nella prosa polacca a partire dal secondo dopoguerra. Gli antichi territori orientali della Confederazione polacco-lituana, entrati a far parte della mitologia nazionale fin dal romanticismo, attirano l’interesse degli scrittori contemporanei per le complesse problematiche identitarie che suscitano. Ponendo i territori e i ‘luoghi di confine’ al centro delle proprie narrazioni e dello spazio mitico polacco, gli scrittori ridefiniscono i paradigmi della polonità riallacciandosi a un ideale di stato multietnico e interculturale che, avendo il suo modello nella Polonia storica, costituisce oggi una valida alternativa alla retorica del monologo nazionalista. Attraverso l’analisi dello spazio mitico dei Kresy, si evidenzia come il testo letterario costituisca un fattore fondamentale per la definizione e la comprensione dell’identità nazionale, nonché per l’attuazione di un dialogo interculturale oggi più che mai necessario per le sfide lanciate al mondo civile.

Opening the black box of heterogeneous value creation: cognitive microfoundations of novel and valuable solution generation
Creators: name: Lundmark, Leif Willard

Subjects: Affect

Value creation

description: The field of strategic management comprises the scientific exploration of organizational heterogeneity, scope, and performance. Subsequently, the large majority of extant theory builds predictions of organization and industry level outcomes from aggregate constructs (e.g., organizational structure, resources, routines, capabilities, institutions). Emerging interest surrounding the microfoundations of strategy, however, has begun to refocus attention on important antecedent events, specifically individual psychological and cognitive processes driving firm heterogeneity, scope, and performance. Building on the problem-finding problem-solving perspective, this dissertation adopts methodologies from both psychology and neuroscience to examine cognitive processes underlying the generation of novel and valuable solutions. Three studies exploring sources of heterogeneity in solution development are presented. The first investigates how comprehensive problem formulation and time constraints interact to determine the degree of novelty and value of complex and illdefined strategic problems. The second study, leveraging NK landscape logic, develops a theoretical model of how affect operates to enhance the generation of value-creating solutions. Specifically, two separate cognitive mechanisms and their neurological correlates are identified, producing systematic differences in both how knowledge search and recombination unfold and the types of solutions developed. The third and final study develops and tests a set of organizational routines posited to enhance the neurological processes of novel and valuable solution generation by overcoming the constraining effects of mental maps and heuristics. Microfoundational research investigating the cognitive processes of value creation effectively repositions the strategist at the center of strategic management. While early research within the field directly acknowledged and explored the psychological and cognitive foundations of firm performance and competitive advantage, continued focus on aggregate constructs and phenomena has obscured important sources of heterogeneity arising from lower levels of analysis. Building on the problem-finding problem-solving framework, this dissertation increases understanding of the cognitive processes underlying novel and valuable solution generation and lays the foundation for future research investigating models of cognition within the field of strategy.
Choosing good news or bad news: task importance and task diagnosticity as moderators of optimists' and pessimists' preferences for positive and negative feedback

description: Past research has obtained seemingly contrary findings regarding whether  optimists, people who hold positive expectations about their future, approach or avoid  self-relevant negative information. The present study (N= 178 college students) aimed to  clarify the role of dispositional optimism by examining personal relevance of the  information as a factor that potentially moderates optimists' and pessimists' preferences  for information. Personal relevance of the information was operationalized in two ways  - in terms of task importance, manipulated via information that a challenging verbal task  measured an ability that was either highly important or relatively unimportant with  respect to success in college, and task diagnosticity, manipulated via information that the  test was either reliable in detecting the ability accurately or not. After completing the  word task, all participants rated their interest in receiving feedback about their strengths  and weaknesses on the task, and indicated their choice of feedback in case that they could  receive only one kind of feedback.  Due to their hypothesized ability to withstand the emotional costs of negative  feedback when the feedback had the potential to be useful, it was predicted that optimists  would select weakness feedback when the task was said to be both highly important and  highly diagnostic, but would instead select strength feedback when the task was relatively  unimportant and nondiagnostic. In the condition in which the feedback was most  relevant (high task importance, high test diagnosticity), participants high in optimism were 44% likely to select weakness-focused feedback on the forced-choice measure,  compared to 27% among participants low in optimism. In contrast, when the task was  said to be highly diagnostic, but unimportant, only 14% of optimists chose weakness  feedback. This pattern was not seen in the absolute ratings of interest in both strengths  and weakness feedback, as most participants reported a high degree of interests in both  types of feedback. Contrary to prediction, optimists did not differentially prefer strengths  feedback when information was least relevant (low task importance, low test  diagnosticity). Neither neuroticism nor beliefs in the malleability of one's performance  on the task accounted for the relation between optimism and feedback preference.  Limitations of the study and directions for future research are discussed.

description: De l’utilité des stéréotypes pour une formation humaniste de l’élève. Le stéréotype joue un rôle capital dans la formation de l’être humain et de son identité. Longtemps décrié, car donnant de l’Autre une image très négative et réduite, le stéréotype doit cependant être identifié et pris en compte par le lecteur pour pouvoir être ensuite dépassé et permettre ainsi l’accès à une lecture critique. La littérature de jeunesse se prête particulièrement à ce travail, en nous offrant des images de peuples au-delà des mers sur lesquels les jeunes lecteurs ont des stéréotypes. Nous présenterons une démarche didactique montrant quelle utilité éducative et humaniste peut avoir cette étude.

description: The increasing cost of full-scale testing makes model-based computational methods very important for the reliability assessment of large complex systems. However, physical, statistical, and model uncertainties make it difficult to have high confidence in model-based reliability prediction. Hence, there is an important need to validate model predictions using test data. However, for large-scale systems, availability of test results is rare. This kind of problem can be validated from obtaining test data to validate smaller modules (subsystem and component-level models) of the overall reliability computational model. A framework for Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (VUQ) of a model for an overarching problem with no prior experimental data is implemented on one such problem, measurement of combustion efficiency for industrial flares. The hierarchical VUQ process begins with defining lower subsystems. For the current overarching problem, a nonreacting buoyancy-driven turbulent mixing experiment was selected as a component-scale case and wind-tunnel flare experiments as a pilot-scale case. A 6-step systematic validation framework is adopted from the literature and applied to provide upper and lower bounds of the prediction. Each brick/level in the hierarchy is validated individually as well as together as one big system to propagate the uncertainties and to build confidence in the model. Monte-Carlo method and consistency constraints are used to analyze surrogate models, constructed for complex and expensive multiphysics simulators. The analysis refines the parameter space where the model makes valid predictions and with certain confidence.
