In order collect data for study, 175 at Teaching Centers universities across Turkey were contacted in 2021-2022 academic year. reach group, scale system created “Google forms” software was used. collection process continued 8 weeks total. “The Scale Perceptions Instructors Foreigners...

The loss of biodiversity is a mounting concern, but despite numerous attempts there are few large scale conservation efforts that have proven successful in reversing current declines. Given the challenge of biodiversity conservation, there is a need to develop strategic conservation plans that address species declines even with the inherent uncertainty in managing multiple species in complex en...

This paper formulates an analytical stochastic network loading model. It is a stochastic formulation of the link transmission model (LTM), which itself is an operational formulation of Newell’s simplified theory of kinematic waves. The proposed model builds upon the initial model of Osorio and Flötteröd (2015). It proposes a formulation with enhanced scalability. In particular, compared to the ...

Objective: The selection of beam orientations, which is a key step in radiation treatment planning, is particularly challenging for non-coplanar radiotherapy systems due to the large number of candidate beams. In this paper, we report progress on the group sparsity approach to beam orientation optimization, wherein beam angles are selected by solving a large scale fluence map optimization probl...

Reliability sampling plans are used to determine the acceptability of a product at some future point in its effective life. Whenever the life test is performed based on the measurement data, variables sampling plans can be utilized. Variables sampling plans are more efficient than the attribute sampling plans. In this paper, we propose a reliability sampling system for measurable characteristic...

This paper presents cell formation (CF) problem in dynamic condition with multiple alternative process plans and a set of alternative routes for each of process plans. Previous models paid attention to just one of the terms of process plans and routes and also they have not reflected the notion of defect rate after operations. Therefore, this paper also addresses defect rate. The proposed model...

Prioritizing and making efficient conservation plans for threatened populations requires information at both evolutionary and ecological timescales. Nevertheless, few studies integrate multidisciplinary approaches, mainly because of the difficulty for conservationists to assess simultaneously the evolutionary and ecological status of populations. Here, we sought to demonstrate how combining gen...

Planners are powerful tools for problem solving because they provide a complete sequence of actions to achieve a goal from a particular initial state. Classical planning research has addressed this problem in a domain-independent manner— the same algorithm generates a complete plan for any domain specification. This generality comes at a cost; domainindependent planners have difficulty with lar...

OBJECTIVE To analyze and evaluate the efficacy of evacuation plans described by individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). DESIGN Descriptive study from a convenience sample. SETTING Outpatient population center in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. METHODS Twenty-one individuals with SCI who previously indicated that they had a plan of evacuation from either their homes, places of work, or towns/citie...
