the study of short run and long run effects of trade liberalization on iran’s wheat import

abstract the present research accomplished to determination of the trade liberalization effects on import function of iran’s wheat crop using time series data from 1357 to 1387 that earn from sources such as agricultural and aerology statistics annual letter, customhouse and iran central bank website.in this investigation, at first, wheat liberalization index was measured by using level of inte...

Transoral Robotic Surgery in the HPV Era

The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has markedly increased over the last three decades mostly due to human papillomavirus (HPV)-related infections. Cancers resulting from HPV infection bear a better prognosis than those that are smoking-related. Because HPV-positive patients are often younger, with lower rates of co-morbid illness and longer overall life expectancies,...

Initial Steps Towards Run-Time Support for Norm-Governed Systems

We present a knowledge representation framework with an associated run-time support infrastructure that is able to compute, for the benefit of the members of a norm-governed multi-agent system, the physically possible and permitted actions current at each time, as well as sanctions that should be applied to violations of prohibitions. To offer the envisioned run-time support we use an Event Cal...

Run-to-run Optimization via Constraint Control

Run-to-run optimization methodologies exploit the repetitive nature of batch processes to find the optimal operating policy in the presence of uncertainty. For the class of batch optimization problems where the solution is determined by terminal constraints, the update of the decision variables towards their optimal values is realized using a constraint control scheme. The methodology is adapte...
