On one aspect of science policy based onan uncertain model

چکیده
We discuss one aspect of the allocation of new scientists to teaching and research careers. In the past, this allocation problem was treated on the basis of a model with kown constant parameters and as a classical open-loop optimal control problem with the allocation ratio as the sole control variable. The utility function in that treatment took both short term and long term goals into account. Here we allow for uncertainty in the possibly timevarying system parameters, and we account for the possibility of new scientists going into careers other than teaching and research. We treat the allocation problem not as an optimal control one but rather as one of robust control, insensitive to uncertainties, in order to assure desired numbers of teachers and scientists within a computable horizon.

Reliability of a power system is considerably influenced by its equipments. Power transformers are one of the most critical and expensive equipments of a power system and their proper functions are vital for the substations and utilities. Therefore, reliability model of power transformer is very important in the risk assessment of the engineering systems. This model shows the characteristic...
متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...

One important issue in using the industrial and manufacturing facilities is to consider their impacts on the environment. Many of these equipment have negative effects on the environment when operated for sometimes. In this research the probabilistic logistic times and the destructive effects for maintenance are studied and appropriate model is suggested and evaluated. The aim of the proposed m...
متن کاملEffects of integrating physical and financial flows through a closed-loop supply chain network under uncertain demand and return
The impact of financial challenges on the profit of a supply chain, have caused the researcher to model the supply chain network by considering the operational and financial dimensions. Also, the establishment of a closed loop supply chain (CLSC) network has a high effect on economic profit. So, the purpose of this study is to design a stochastic closed loop supply chain network by considering ...
