BACKGROUND The Housing First Model (HFM) is an approach to serving formerly homeless individuals with dually diagnosed mental health and substance use disorders regardless of their choice to use substances or engage in other risky behaviors. The model has been widely diffused across the United States since 2000 as a result of positive findings related to consumer outcomes. However, a lack of cl...

tires represent a critical spare part in mines. there is a shortage of medium and large tires. in addition, with increased mining activities and the creation of new mines, the demand for tires has increased significantly. thus, it is particularly important for mining engineers to identify tire characteristics and correctly manage the spare part inventory. spare parts management is critical from...

Combustion synthesis is a special thermophysico-chemical process applied for production of intermetallic compounds. In the present work, a reaction–diffusion numerical model was developed to analyze the combustion synthesis of aluminide intermetallics by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis process. In order to verify the reliability of the numerical model, an experimental setup was desi...

considering the challenges that modern organizations face, creating a happy organization in the number one strategic imperative and the only way to long-term success. we studied research literature and background in this article, then we identified ten factors of happiness at work. considering this factors, we design questionnaire in order to measure of happiness at work. validity of factors an...

This project builds on the work of Glisson et al. (2008) and the knowledge learned from community-based mental health organizations' internal structures (e.g., culture and climate), which possibly impede the implantation and adoption of new technologies. The Organizational Social Context (OSC) Model measurement system is guided by a model of social context that composes both organizational and ...

This study presents a methodology to convert an RBDO problem requiring very high reliability to an RBDO problem requiring relatively low reliability by increasing input standard deviations for efficient computation in sampling-based RBDO. First, for linear performance functions with independent normal random inputs, an exact probability of failure is derived in terms of the ratio of the input s...

Recent advances in high throughput data acquisition and data storage technologies call for designing distributed agents that are able to learn This paper proposes a new abstract framework for modelling interactions among agents in multi-agent organizations. The proposed model – the model of interaction categories, or MIgories exhibits compositionality of interactions as well as emergence of beh...
