In this paper, we present a utility-based decision making process to be used by a system in determining when to take the initiative to interact with a user, in a mixed-initiative artificial intelligence system. The decision making is based on a calculation of the expected utility of various courses of action and the likelihood that the user will be an effective contributor of information, if an...

Administrative data provide a rich source of information for child welfare administrators and the child welfare research community. With administrative data, program managers, evaluators and others may examine who is served by the child welfare system, engage in continuous quality improvement efforts, and evaluate changes in service delivery outputs and outcomes over time. In addition, using ad...

BACKGROUND Safety assessment for repeated dose toxicity is one of the largest challenges in the process to replace animal testing. This is also one of the proof of concept ambitions of SEURAT-1, the largest ever European Union research initiative on alternative testing, co-funded by the European Commission and Cosmetics Europe. This review is based on the discussion and outcome of a workshop or...

UNLABELLED Coalitions of multinational food and drink businesses have pledged to reformulate their products and to market them responsibly. Largely business-led and self-regulated, the integrity of these voluntary initiatives has been questioned. The Public Health Responsibility Deal in England is an example of a voluntary initiative that is government-led. Does this approach provide evidence t...

Planetary sciences can benefit from several different sources of information, i.e. ground-based or near Earth-based observations, space missions and laboratory experiments. The data collected from these sources, however, are spread over a number of smaller, separate communities and stored through different facilities: this makes it difficult to integrate them. The IDIS initiative, born in the c...

Domestication has been influenced by formal plant breeding since the onset of intensive agriculture and the Green Revolution. Despite providing food security for some regions, intensive agriculture has had substantial detrimental consequences for the environment and does not fulfill smallholder's needs under most developing countries conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to look for alternativ...

With today’s computer and telecommunications technologies, every young person can have a quality education regardless of his or her place of birth. This is the dream that Open Educational Resources (OERs), when viewed as a right rather than a privilege, are directed to realize. For developing countries, we propose a type of OER initiative that leverages not only technology but also the skills o...

Many researchers content themselves with the 2D simulation of welding process instead of the 3D simulation, because of the time and the cost factors of the latter. In this research, the number of elements and nodes are reduced by an initiative plan (defining an equivalent model) for the simulation of welding. The welding process has been simulated by an uncoupled thermal-mechanical finite eleme...
