Developmental government (narrowly understood as a component of state) is transparent, effective, efficient which makes best use all national resources to create socio-economic development optimistically, actively, innovatively and creatively. not purely integrity without bureaucracy or corruption. More importantly, it plays role actively comprehensively managing its key policies in the market ...

Professor James T. O’Reilly’s article Losing Deference in the FDA’s Second Century: Judicial Review, Politics, and a Diminished Legacy of Expertise is a sweeping critique of the decline of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which until recently was considered one of the world’s premier health and safety agencies.1 According to Professor O’Reilly, the FDA’s decline, resulting in what he con...

Congress’s power of the purse is effective enough to block implementation a policy Congress disagrees with, especially in case foreign policies initiated by presidents. However, it puzzling that congressional deference presidents, instead defiance, has been common. Conventionally, presidents’ informational advantages over have presented as main account for deference. This connotes surrender pre...

We utilize the situation calculus to develop a logical model of hypertext systems. The work builds upon the earlier work of Bieber and Kimbrough in the logical modeling of hypertext systems. In our presentation, a particular version of the situation calculus (which includes a language for programming complex actions) developed for the modeling of dynamic worlds and for the control of robotic ag...

Mathematical models for the electrical activity in cardiac cells are normally formulated as systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The equations are nonlinear and describe processes occurring on a wide range of time scales. Under normal accuracy requirements, this makes the systems stiff and therefore challenging to solve numerically. As standard implicit solvers are difficult to im...

Water quality management policies on a river basin scale are of special importance in order to prevent and/or reduce environmental pollution caused by human sources. Industrial effluents are a priority issue particularly in Urban Wastewater Systems (UWS) that receive mixed household and industrial wastewaters, apart from rainfall water. In this paper, we present an analysis and implementation o...

Shapiro et al. [2005; 2006], presented a framework for representing goal change in the situation calculus. In that framework, agents adopt a goal when requested to do so (by some agent reqr ), and they remain committed to the goal unless the request is cancelled by reqr . A common assumption in the agent theory literature, e.g., [Cohen and Levesque, 1990; Rao and Georgeff, 1991], is that achiev...

the objective of this research was to develop a suitable method for color sorting of fruits. accordingly, a color-sorting system was designed and a prototype developed and then tested. this system includes an optic head which is designed to develop a reflection of the fruit. output of the head is then processed in an electronic control system which generates the appropriate signal for ejection ...
