Approximately 85% of tuberculosis (TB) related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries where health resources are scarce. Effective priority setting is required to maximise the impact limited budgets. The Optima TB tool has been developed support analytical capacity inform evidence-based processes for benefits package design. This paper outlines framework how it was applied Belarus, an...

Global warming, as a result of greenhouse gases, is exceeding the planet’s temperature stabilization capacities. Thus, gas emissions must be reduced. We analyse bankruptcy situation aimed at allocating permits CO2, predominant emitted by human activities. Inspired Constrained Equal Awards (CEA) solution for situations, we introduce new allocation protocol based on extension CEA over double-weig...

This paper reports a theory-driven experimental study for designing and evaluating two different forms of attention-guidance functionalities integrated into an anchored-discussion system. Using social constructivism as a motivating theory, we constructed a theoretical framework that emphasizes the importance of students’ attention allocation in online learning conversations and its influence on...

We compare the performance of five hygrometers fitted to the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement’s (FAAM) BAe 146-301 research aircraft using data from approximately 100 flights executed over the course of 2 years under a wide range of conditions. Bulk comparison of cloud free data show good agreement between chilled mirror hygrometers and a WVSS-II fed from a modified Rosemount inlet...

Newborn babies look preferentially at faces and face-like displays, yet over the course of their first year much changes about both the way infants process visual stimuli and how they allocate their attention to the social world. Despite this initial preference for faces in restricted contexts, the amount that infants look at faces increases considerably during the first year. Is this developme...

Simulations were completed using artificial reading “agents” that are subject to known physiological (e.g., limited visual acuity) and psychological (e.g., limited attention) constraints and capable of learning to move their eyes and allocate attention to read as efficiently as possible. These simulations indicate that agents learn when and where to move their eyes to attain maximal reading eff...
