The Scottish Diabetes Improvement Plan 2014

National Poultry Improvement Plan

We are amending the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP, the Plan) and its auxiliary provisions by removing the descriptions of specific tests and sanitation procedures from the regulations. Instead, we will require tests to be performed and sanitation to be maintained in a manner approved by the Administrator. Approved procedures will be listed in an NPIP Program Standards document, which ...

Midterm review of the Strategic Plan, 2014–2017: Lessons learned

The second French plan for rare diseases 2011-2014

Rare diseases are very complex and require comprehensive strategic planning. Because health and social services were not well adapted to the needs of those most vulnerable patients, a first National Plan for Rare Diseases has been implemented in France between 2009 and 2010, acknowledging the specificities of rare diseases. Information was developed for patients, professionals and the general p...

Learning from the hindsight plan - Episodic MPC improvement

Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular control method that has proved effective for robotics, among other fields. MPC performs re-planning at every time step. Replanning is done with a limited horizon per computational and real-time constraints and often also for robustness to potential model errors. However, the limited horizon leads to suboptimal performance. In this work, we consider th...
