introduction: this paper proposes an appropriate strategy for exporting hepatitis b vaccine, manufactured by pasteur institute of iran, to other countries. methods: eeffectiveness factors and their relative variables were found out by factor analysis method in spss software. results: we could identify 6 main factors which can extremely affect the export of this product. we evaluated manufacture...

For enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise workflow (WF) applications, the load of the WF servers and the amount of communication in the subnets may become a bottleneck. This paper shows how a distributed WF control can be realized in a way that the load of the components at run time is minimized. For that purpose, the control of a WF instance may migrate from one WF server to another. The WF ser...

This paper deals with WF-net based modeling and verification of interorganizational workflows (interworkflows for short) based on the protocol of WfMC. In the protocol, there are three patterns of interoperability: Chained, Nested, and Parallel synchronized; and an interworkflow is constructed by using those interoperability patterns. We first give a WF-net based modeling method. In this modeli...

Autodestruct syringes can reduce the improper reuse of syringes, which present a significant risk in the transmission of bloodborne pathogens in developing countries, especially during immunization campaigns owing to the high number of injections given per session. SoloShot is an autodestruct syringe, distributed by UNICEF, which has been shown to be safer and easier to use than standard syring...

The capability to rapidly adapt in-progress workflows (WF) is an essential requirement for any workflow system. Adaptations may concern single WF instances or a WF type as a whole. While changes of single instances often have to be applied in an ad-hoc manner, type changes become necessary to adapt to evolving business processes. Especially for longrunning processes it is indispensable to propa...

We study the problem of recovering a vector x ∈ R from its magnitude measurements yi = |〈ai,x〉|, i = 1, ...,m. Our work is along the line of the Wirtinger flow (WF) approach Candès et al. [2015], which solves the problem by minimizing a nonconvex loss function via a gradient algorithm and can be shown to converge to a global optimal point under good initialization. In contrast to the smooth los...

bias, women would still be under-represented in science because they are innately different from men. Lawrence draws from the work of Simon Baron-Cohen in arguing that males are ‘on average’ biologically predisposed to systematize, When I was 14 years old, I had an unusually talented maths teacher. One day after school, I excitedly pointed him out to my mother. To my amazement, she looked at hi...
