SLIM: Semi-Lazy Inference Mechanism for Plan Recognition

Plan Recognition algorithms require to recognize a complete hierarchy explaining the agent’s actions and goals. While the output of such algorithms is informative to the recognizer, the cost of its calculation is high in run-time, space, and completeness. Moreover, performing plan recognition online requires the observing agent to reason about future actions that have not yet been seen and main...

Magnetic Program Fusion Plan

The First Fusion Reactor: Iter

28 I n practical terms, the project’s goal is to construct and operate a tokamak experiment which can confine a deuterium-tritium plasma in which the α-particle heating dominates all other forms of plasma heating. Formally, the primary mission of the ITER project is to demonstrate sustainment of a DT plasma producing ~500 MW of fusion power for durations of 300 500 s with a ratio of fusion outp...

Drug Industry Groups Oppose FDA "Quality Metrics" Plan: The Agency Wants to Use Manufacturing Data to Attack Drug Shortages.

Raising their voices in nearly unanimous opposition, pharmaceutical manufacturers and their suppliers have mounted a campaign to dissuade the FDA from launching a voluntary program in 2018 that is aimed at reducing drug shortages.
