Developing motions for simulated humanoids remains a challenging problem. While there exists a multitude of approaches, few of these are reimplemented or reused by others. The predominant focus of papers in the area remains on algorithmic novelty, due to the difficulty and lack of incentive to more fully explore what can be accomplished within the scope of existing methodologies. We develop a l...

Companies are always looking for a way to optimise the use of their material resources and human resources. Nowadays, issue competency is important crucial in industry. To perform given task using two operators having same qualification, performance achievement varies, which introduces concept individual competence level. This article presents an assessment method multi-skilled workforce. In th...

Abstract We study the optimal Bernoulli routing in a multiclass queueing system with dedicated server for each class as well common (or multi-skilled) that can serve jobs of all classes. Jobs arrive according to Poisson process. Each has holding cost per customer and use processor sharing discipline service. The objective is minimize weighted mean cost. First, we provide conditions under which ...

In a R&D department, several projects may have to be implemented simultaneously within a certain period of time by a limited number of human resources with diverse skills. This paper proposes an optimisation model for the allocation of multi-skilled human resources to R&D projects, considering individual workers as entities having different knowledge, experience and ability. The model focuses o...

preventive maintenance scheduling is to perform a series of tasks that prevents or minimizes production breakdowns and improves the reliability. mathematical models have been developed to solve the preventive maintenance scheduling problem. there are several limitations in the prior work in this area of research. craft combinations are assumed to be given. the craft combination problem concerns...

Professional workers in rural and regional areas are often required to be more multi-skilled than their urban counterparts. Education workers are no different from other professional, regional workers in this respect. This paper provides reflections on the early phases of development and implementation of an innovative degree designed to provide for multi-skilled professional rural/regional wor...

BACKGROUND Loss of human resources in the health sector through migration has caused many problems in the delivery of healthcare services in developing countries. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine factors influencing intention to migrate in skilled human resources in Iran's healthcare sector. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2016 in Iran. The study popula...

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing an integrated assembly line when many skilled and unskilled workers are available. This problem arises when there are certain limited resources available such as skilled workers in which the operation time for every task is different depending on assignment of the unskilled workers to help the skilled workers. The selection of both skilled wor...

This paper contributes to the question of how taxation of corporate profits and wages affects competition among firms for highly skilled human resources such as CEOs. Use of a theoretical model shows that wage taxes can have a substantial impact on the outcome of such a competition if marginal tax rates are different as in an international labor market. Further, the paper shows that increasing ...

The current study aimed to demonstrate that children below 9 years of age efficiently orient their auditory attention with both verbal cues and lateralized cues to identify emotional stimuli. The use of emotional stimuli is an optimal condition according to the assumption that a multi-component task calling on different resources from the two cerebral hemispheres is easier than a multi-componen...
