Objectives: Emergencymedical services (EMS) programs, which provide an alternative to traditional EMS dispatch or transport to the emergency department (ED), are becoming widely implemented. This scoping review identified and catalogued all outcomes used to measure such alternative EMS programs. Data Source: Broad systematized bibliographic and grey literature searches were conducted.

This paper presents the solution of environmental/ economic dispatch (EED) problem by using a multiobjective bees algorithm (MBA) with clustering technique. EED problem is to minimize simultaneously the total fuel cost and environmental pollution of generation while satisfying various constrains. The MBA is modified from Bees Algorithm in order to solve EED problem through compromised fuzzy and...

This paper presents a novel architecture of an indigenously developed system in Trinidad and Tobago for Economic Generation and Load Dispatch and its successful implementation. Typical local practices and policy regulations for power industry are discussed along with the power generation and load profiles. The developed system ix-GEMS has different components and several features to assist the ...

Automated machine learning (AutoML) promises to democratize by automatically generating pipelines with little no user intervention. Typically, a search procedure is used repeatedly generate and validate candidate pipelines, maximizing predictive performance metric, subject limited execution time budget. While this approach candidates works well for small tabular datasets, the same does not dire...

The framework of promise theory offers an alternative way of understanding programming models, especially in distributed systems. We show that promise theory can express some familiar constructs and resolve some problems in program interface design, using fewer and simpler concepts than the Unified Modelling Language (UML).

We examine, experimentally and theoretically, how communication within a partnership may mitigate the problem (highlighted in contract theory) of hidden action. What is the form and content of the communication? Which model of decision-making can capture the impact of communication? We consider free-form communication, measure beliefs (about actions and beliefs), and examine which motivational ...

Economic load dispatch is one of the optimization problems in power systems. This paper presents an improved genetic algorithm for economic load dispatch with valve-point loadings. New crossover and mutation operations are introduced. The solutions of the economic load dispatch with valve-point loadings under three cases are solved by the improved genetic algorithm. Test results are,given and c...
