Inference in Bayesian networks (BNs) is NP-hard. We proposed the concept of a node set namely Maximum Quadruple-Constrained subset MQC(A,a e) to improve the efficiency of exact inference in diagnostic Bayesian networks (DBNs). Here, A denotes a node set in a DBN and a e represent five real numbers. The improvement in efficiency is achieved by computation sharing. That is, we divide inference in...

Quality of Service routing for multicast enables a group member to find and install a branch of the multicast tree that can meet its QoS constraints. The most promising protocols in this area use receiver-oriented path searching heuristics to find feasible routes. In this paper, we examine the performance of the path searching heuristics used by these protocols, to determine which techniques ar...

in this paper, a consistent pattern with the optimal coordinated design of pss and sssc controller to improve the damping of low frequency oscillations is shown. in this design, sensing and signal transmission time delays are considered as effectiveness parameters. the design problem has been considered an optimization problem and biogeography-based optimization (bbo) algorithm is used for sear...

Introduction: Nurses are an integral part of the health system and predicting their behavior in different situations is important for policymakers and managers of the health system. The present study was conducted to determine the efficiency of the theory of planned behavior in predicting the behavior of nurses in different situations. Methods: The current narrative review study was conducted ...
