OBJECTIVE Guided by Weiner's attribution theory (1985), the aim of this study is to describe the reasons given by people with psychiatric disabilities to explain job loss. METHODS Using a sample of 126 people with psychiatric disabilities participating in a prospective study design, the authors evaluated the causal attributions pattern to explain job loss. During a 9-month follow-up phone int...

This paper dedicates to exploring and exploiting the hidden resource in wireless channel. We discover that the stochastic dependence in wireless channel capacity is a hidden resource, specifically, if the wireless channel capacity bears negative dependence, the wireless channel attains a better performance with a smaller capacity. We find that the dependence in wireless channel is determined by...

In many practical domains, planning systems are required to reason about durative actions. A common assumption in the literature is that the executor is allowed to decide the duration of each action. However, this assumption may be too restrictive for applications. In this paper, we tackle the problem of temporal planning with uncontrollable action durations. We show how to generate robust plan...

IA Petri net controller method for Petri net model with uncontrollable transitions that enforces the conjunctions a set of linear inequalities on the Parikh vector or place markings is proposed. The method for constructing a Petri net feedback controller is based on part design and Petri net reduction technique. Constraints are classified into admissible and inadmissible constraints. Matrix-Tra...

A supervisor synthesis technique for Petri net plants with uncontrollable and unobservable transitions that enforces the conjunction of a set of linear inequalities on the reachable markings of the plant is presented. The approach is based on the concept of Petri net place invariants. Each step of the procedure is illustrated through a running example involving the supervision of a robotic asse...
