determining the optimal pattern for growing crops in accordance with the availability of the resources and risk factors as well as the uncertainty of agriculture sector would help the farmers, managers and economic planners in selecting the type of the product and the level of cultivation. fuzzy programming model with interval programming approach is used in this study to determine the optimal ...

The relationships between 15 personality traits relevant for personalityhealth research were examined as well as their relationships with five-factor personality traits and two higher order alpha and beta factors. Factor analysis of the 15 healthrelated personality concepts yielded three broad components: Negative affectivity, Optimistic control and Passivity. Results indicate that three health...

This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the link between a now conventional framework in hierarchical optimization spread under the name of the optimistic bilevel problem and its initial more difficult formulation that we call here the original optimistic bilevel optimization problem. It follows from this research that, although the process of deriving necessary optimality condition...

We study the observational constraints on single-field inflationary models achievable with next generation of cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. focus a Stage IV (S4)-like experiment and forecast its parameters in context $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-attractor inflation comprising large class models. To tailor our forecasts, we use as fiducial model results obtained current CMB LSS data, a...

In Reinforcement Learning (RL), it is common to use optimistic initialization of value functions to encourage exploration. However, such an approach generally depends on the domain, viz., the scale of the rewards must be known, and the feature representation must have a constant norm. We present a simple approach that performs optimistic initialization with less dependence on the domain.
