climate change phenomenon is an important environmental challenge of the world. increasing extension of greenhouse gases and remote relationship phenomena accelerate the speed f climate change. changes in precipitation level, drought occurrence and changes in the level of surface and groundwater resources are the recognized consequences of climate change. in order to study consequences of clima...

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has proved a remarkably effective decision mechanism in many different game domains, including computer Go and general game playing (GGP). However, in GGP, where many disparate games are played, certain type of games have proved to be particularly problematic for MCTS. One of the problems are game trees with so-called optimistic moves, that is, bad moves that supe...

AIMS We used epidemiological modelling to assess whether nicotine vaccines would be a cost-effective way of preventing smoking uptake in adolescents. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND MEASUREMENTS We built an epidemiological model using Australian data on age-specific smoking prevalence; smoking cessation and relapse rates; life-time sex-specific disability-adjusted life years lived for cohor...

Equity theory (ET) is an organizational investigating how fairly people feel they have been treated. The literature on ET does not address two essential questions: what the magnitude of equity that one may perceive compared to other members in organization?, and much should be resources (outcomes) underpaid member reduced (increased) equal? group respond these questions emotionally, their answe...

This paper, we presents a new primary-secondary-criteria scheduling model for resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with uncertain activity durations (UD) and cash flows (UC). The RCPSP-UD-UC approach producing a “robust” resource-feasible schedule immunized against uncertainties in the activity durations and which is on the sampling-based scenarios may be evaluated from a cos...
