In this paper we describe two approaches for solving the problem of scheduling aircraft landing times. In this problem, the air traac controller must compute a landing time for each aircraft in the horizon, and must attempt to minimise costs whilst observing a number of hard constraints. The costs are associated with aircraft landing times varying from the preferred landing time. The hard const...

Earlier work has introduced a new optimization goal for DAG schedules: the “AREA” of the schedule. AREA-maximizing schedules are intended for computational environments—such as Internet-based computing (IC for short) and massively multicore computers—that would benefit from DAG-schedules that produce execution-eligible tasks as fast as possible. The earlier study of AREA-maximizing schedules sh...

Events and worlds, as employed in Condoravdi 2002 for a temporal interpretation of modals, are analyzed as schedules of eventuality-types. Sets of schedules that provide a basis for context change interpretations are investigated, including schedules truncated at evaluation time. Finite schedules are hypothesized to constitute a basis, suggesting a semantic reformulation in terms of strings.

Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a relatively unique drug in oncology because administration in different doses and schedules results in dramatically different patterns of qualitative toxicity. In the 41 years 5-FU has been available to the clinical oncologist, a wide variety of doses and schedules of this agent have been used. Infusional schedules are associated with less myelosuppression but may have m...

Each year, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) reviews the recommended immunization schedules for persons aged 0 through 18 years to ensure that the schedules reflect current recommendations for Food and Drug Administration-licensed vaccines. In October 2013, ACIP approved the recommended immunization schedules for persons aged 0 through 18 years for 2014, which include seve...

Finding flexible schedules is important to industry, since in many environments changes such as machine breakdowns or the appearance of new jobs can happen at short notice. In this paper a minimax formulation is used to develop a coevolutionary algorithm for finding worst case flexible schedules. A population of schedules is used to locate the schedule with the best worst case performance, whil...

Rabies is a deadly disease, and current preexposure vaccination schedules are lengthy and expensive. We identified nine studies investigating abbreviated schedules. Although initial responses were lower, accelerated adequate immune responses were elicited after booster vaccinations. Lower-dose (and therefore cheaper) vaccination schedules may constitute a valid alternative to current vaccinatio...
