results in this study, a significant relation was established between the three areas or domains of learning: 1) knowledge domain (learning the theoretical basis of necessity-based training); 2) motivational domain (how to motivate collection, classification, etc. and 3) the technical domain (how trauma experts and specialists can recognize and classify needs practically. our findings suggest t...

We study the use of sparse grids methods for the scenario generation (or discretization) problem in stochastic programming problems where the uncertainty is modeled using a continuous multivariate distribution. We show that, under a regularity assumption on the random function, the sequence of optimal solutions of the sparse grid approximations, as the number of scenarios increases, converges t...

This work studies linear elliptic problems under uncertainty. The major emphasis is on the deterministic treatment of such uncertainty. In particular, this work uses the Worst Scenario approach for the characterization of uncertainty on functional outputs (quantities of physical interest). Assuming that the input data belong to a given functional set, eventually infinitely dimensional, we propo...

This paper presents an insight into benefits of organic waste recycling through composting over landfill on municipal solid waste management in Phnom Penh, in terms of greenhouse gases (GHGs) mitigation. Future waste generation from 2003 to 2020 was forecasted and four scenarios of organic waste recycling were carried out. Organic wastefood and garden wastewere used for composting and the rem...

background: the number of people aged 60 and older is increasing faster than other age groups worldwide. iran will experience a sharp aging population increase in the next decades, and this will pose new challenges to the healthcare system. since providing high quality aged-care services would be the major concern of the policymakers, this question arises that what types of aged care services s...

Scenario planning is a widely accepted management tool for decision support activities. Scenario planning, development, organisation, analysis, and evaluation are generally quite complex processes. Systems that purport to support these processes are complex and difficult to use and do not fully support all phases of scenario management. Though traditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) provide ...

Traditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) provide strong data management, modelling and visualisation capabilities for the decision maker but they do not explicitly support scenario management appropriately. Systems that purport to support scenario planning are complex and difficult to use and do not fully support all phases of scenario management. We introduce scenario as a core component of ...

OF THE DISSERTATION Two-Stage Portfolio Optimization with Higher-Order Conditional Measures of Risk by Sıtkı Gülten Dissertation Director: Dr. Andrzej Ruszczyński In this study, an application of novel risk modeling and optimization techniques to daily portfolio management will be described. In the first part, I develop and compare specialized methods for scenario generation and scenario tree c...
