this paper studies the role of the conceptual models of the policy makers in the quality of prioritizing problems in the agenda setting stage of public policy cycle.  several factors contribute to perceiving problems, presenting clear definitions of them, prioritizing them and then problem setting in the format of agenda for policy makers. however, expecting to examine the theories of enactment...

Three-dimensional (3D) sensor networks using multiple light-detection-and-ranging (LIDAR) sensors are good for smart monitoring of spots, such as intersections, with high potential risk road-traffic accidents. The image must share the strictly limited computation capacity an edge computer. To have speeds required from real-time applications, system a short delay while maintaining quality output...

Over most of the world’s estuaries, coasts, and continental shelves, key indicators seafloor biodiversity, anthropogenic stress, ecological sustainability emphasize need to shift habitat management conservation from prevention degradation actions focused on recovery. Here we discuss role disturbance–recovery dynamics in devising prioritizing effective interventions. Understanding enables assess...

BACKGROUND Policies for allocating deceased donor kidneys have recently shifted from allocation based on Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) tissue matching in the UK and USA. Newer allocation algorithms incorporate waiting time as a primary factor, and in the UK, young adults are also favoured. However, there is little contemporary UK research on the views of stakeholders in the transplant process t...

Random walk methods have been successfully applied to prioritizing disease causal genes. In this paper, we propose a bi-random walk algorithm (BiRW) based on a regularization framework for graph matching to globally prioritize disease genes for all phenotypes simultaneously. While previous methods perform random walk either on the proteinprotein interaction network or the complete phenome-genom...

Agents are being recommended as a next generation model for revising and restructuring the complex distributed applications. So the task of engineering quality for agent systems has also become significant. As different stakeholders such as project managers, users, and practitioners have different interpretations of quality; an integrated specification of MAS quality that could satisfy all the ...

Prioritizing exotic or invasive pest threats in terms of agricultural, environmental, or human health damages is an important resource allocation issue for programs charged with preventing or responding to the entry of such organisms. Under extreme uncertainty, program managers may decide to research the severity of threats, develop prevention or control actions, and estimate cost-effectiveness...
