So-called reliability adaptive systems are able to adapt their system behavior based on the current reliability of the system. This allows them to react to changed operating conditions or faults within the system that change the degradation behavior. To implement such reliability adaptation, self-optimization can be used. A self-optimizing system pursues objectives, of which the priorities can ...

In this paper, we present a description of The Almaden OptimalGrid Project, which is selfconfiguring, and optimizing grid middleware that makes it easy to harness the computational resources available on a computing grid. OptimalGrid incorporates the core tenants of autonomic computingself-configuring, selfhealing, and self-optimizing – to create an environment in which it is possible for appli...

aim and background: this study reviewed the effectiveness of self-control training on quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms). to do so, 40 patients with ms were selected through convenient sampling method among the study subjects with multiple sclerosis recorded in ardabil in 2012 (estimation: n = 350). methods and materials: this was a clinical trial designed as pretest postt...

introduction: mental health is a branch of science focused on promoting welfare, social welfare, and life health which is related to all periods (from birth to death) and aspects of life (family environment, school, university, appointment, and society). personality is a collection of mental characteristics that consistently exists within individuals and influences their behaviors and thoughts....

State of the art strategies to achieve optimal process operation typically employ a hierarchical control structure, where different tasks are designated to different control layers. In the simplest case there is an optimization and a control layer. The optimization layer computes the optimal setpoints for the controlled variables, which are then implemented by the control layer. While the contr...
