conclusions the conjoint analysis results show that gps concerned about various factors of family physician contracts. these results can be helpful for policy-makers as they complete the process of creating family physician plans, which can help increase the motivation of gps to participate in the plan. results the results show that “quotas for admission to specialized courses” is the strongest...

Propositional plans of all forms often display a certain level of concurrency which can be exploited by scheduling the plan. This reveals the earliest times at which each action can be applied whilst still achieving the goal and shortening the plan duration. However, the output of this scheduling process is simply a set of timestamped actions, losing implicit information present in the original...

This study analyzes the Indonesian government's plans to develop a forest city in new capital (IKN). uses qualitative approach by examining several relevant official government documents. It is done thematic analysis. The findings of this indicate that development plan IKN based on principles; conservation natural resources and wildlife habitats, connected with nature, low carbon development, w...

Biological adaptation is a powerful mechanism that makes many disorders hard to combat. In this paper we study steering such adaptation through sequential planning. We propose a general approach where we leverage Monte Carlo tree search to compute a treatment plan, and the biological entity is modeled by a black-box simulator that the planner calls during planning. We show that the framework ca...

While risk-sensitive (RS) approaches for designing plans of total productive maintenance are critical in manufacturing systems, there is little in the literature by way of theoretical modeling. Developing such plans often requires the solution of a discrete-time stochastic controloptimization problem. Renewal theory and Markov decision processes (MDPs) are commonly employed tools for solving th...

Due to easy availability of cheaper raw material and increase in new applications, the use of polyolefins in various industries is becoming a major priority. The Middle East region, on account of its vast oil and gas reserves has, in the last decade or so, been developing many new petrochemical complexes with their expansion into colossal polyolefin production capacities. The predictions are th...

We studied how predictive microbiology models could practically be applied to HACCP plans with two predictive software programs that are currently available. The software programs were the Food Micromodel elaborated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, U.K. and the Pathogen Modeling Program of Eastern Regional Research Center, U.S. Department of Agriculture. They successfully pr...
