Fatigue has increasingly been viewed by society as a safety hazard. This has lead to increased regulation of fatigue by governments. The most common control process has been compliance with prescriptive hours of service (HOS) rule sets. Despite the frequent use of prescriptive rule sets, there is an emerging consensus that they are an ineffective hazard control, based on poor scientific defensi...

Fatigue has increasingly been viewed by society as a safety hazard. This has lead to increased regulation of fatigue by governments. The most common control process has been compliance with prescriptive rule sets. Despite the frequent use of prescriptive rule sets, there is an emerging consensus that they are hazard control, based on poor scientific defensibility and lack of operational flexibi...

The use of a prescriptive fitting approach for hearing aid selection has been a common practice for the past 60-70 years. While there are prescriptive approaches that have been validated, in recent years it has become popular to deviate from these validated methods and use manufacturers' proprietary algorithms, which in many cases are significantly different. This research review was designed t...

The aim of this study was to design a prescriptive exercise program for people of various age and fitness basing on the popular in Japan Radio Physical Fitness Exercise, a program based on an experimental approach. The evaluation indices used in the experiment were heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption, and electrical activity of the rectus femoris, latissimus dorsi, and trapezius muscles, which ...

A big-step modelling language (BSML) is a language in which a model can respond to an environmental input via a sequence of small steps, each of which may consist of the concurrent execution of a set of transitions. BSMLs are a popular class of modelling languages that are regularly reincarnated in different syntactic and semantic variations. In our previous work, we deconstructed the semantics...

Various prescriptive procedures have been developed, for calculating the real ear insertion gain of a digital hearing aid based either on loudness equalization or speech intelligibility. But the problem for audiologists lies in selecting an appropriate procedure for particular types of hearing impairment. The aim of this work is to analyze various linear and nonlinear prescriptive procedures, b...

Business research practice is witnessing a surge in the integration of predictive modeling and prescriptive analysis. We describe framework JANOS that seamlessly integrates two streams analytics, allowing researchers practitioners to embed machine learning models an end-to-end optimization framework. allows for specifying model using standard elements such as constraints variables. The key nove...

Recently there has been an increase in the development and use of Digital Twins manufacturing industry. Different kind models can be developed depending on that is required. There very specific detailed from a particular machine/process oriented to condition monitoring or tool wear degradation, also others full plant planning production. In any case, each these will involve lot parameters (of d...
