This paper generalizes the automated innovization framework using genetic programming in the context of higher-level innovization. Automated innovization is an unsupervised machine learning technique that can automatically extract significant mathematical relationships from Pareto-optimal solution sets. These resulting relationships describe the conditions for Paretooptimality for the multi-obj...

Background: Participation in sports are known to have many benefits for the students. It has been correlated with positive developmental indicators, including improved self-esteem, self confidence, cognitive development, social development, goal attainment, problem-solving and academic performance. Objective: The study aims to identify the effects of sports on the student female nurses’ problem...

We present a time decomposition for inventory routing problems. The methodology is based on valuing inventory with a concave piecewise linear function and then combining solutions to single-period subproblems using dynamic programming techniques. Computational experiments show that the resulting value function accurately captures the inventory’s value, and solving the multi-period problem as a ...

nowadays, improvement of thinking skills of students is one of the universally supported aims in the majority of medical schools. this study aims to design longitudinal theme of reasoning, problem-solving and decision-making into the undergraduate medical curriculum at tehran university of medical sciences (tums). a participatory approach was applied to design the curriculum during 2009-2011. t...

This study examined the relationship between trait rumination and the effectiveness of problem solving strategies as assessed by the Means-Ends Problem-Solving Test (MEPS) in a nonclinical population. The present study extended previous studies in terms of using two instructions in the MEPS: the second-person, actual strategy instructions, which has been utilized in previous studies on ruminati...

introduction: mental sets are clues which are already coded and stored in memory, and retrieved when needed. the present study investigated the role of mental sets in solving anagram problems. methods: the design of this study is an experimental with repeated measurement design. the participants were 20 ma students and graduates chosen through voluntary sampling. each of them were required to u...
