Assessment of environmental capabilities and Tarom city for olive production cultivation

This paper examines the cognitive and behavioral foundations of decision-making at the individual level. It is based on a study conducted with 86 graduate students and a model that combines the highly mindful cognitive control capabilities and the less-mindful routinization propensity to explain decision-making performance. The paper offers three contributions. First, I introduce and empiricall...

Software capabilities are a very convenient means to protect co-operating applications. They allow access rights to be dynamically exchanged between mutually suspicious interacting applications. However, in all the proposed approaches, capabilities are made available at the programming language level, requiring application developers to wire protection definition in the application code, which ...

Conventional approaches to access-control, such as ACLs, do not scale well enough for distributed systems. Capabilities on the other hand offer scalability and adaptability advantages in large-scale distributed environments due to their being held and managed by the system’s users/agents rather than by the middleware. However the structure of capabilities is only able to provide simple sequence...

We describe a modular programming style that harnesses modern type systems to verify safety conditions in practical systems. This style has three ingredients: (i) A compact kernel of trust that is specific to the problem domain. (ii) Unique names (capabilities) that confer rights and certify properties, so as to extend the trust from the kernel to the rest of the application. (iii) Static (type...

51 Chapter 1 emphasized the importance of knowledge acquisition as a cornerstone of human development. This chapter focuses on building human capabilities for knowledge acquisition in Arab countries through education. The assessment of the state of education using such indicators as enrolment and illiteracy rates and per capita expenditure reveals tangible achievements but also significant area...

In this paper a logic of capabilities is introduced. We start by defining a language in which not only knowledge and actions of a set of agents can be expressed but also their abilities. To formalize the planning of the agents a Can-predicate and a Cannotpredicate are used. The former indicates that an agent knows that he can achieve a given goal by performing a given action, the latter indicat...
