Construction schedules exist in many forms to serve many purposes. They are prepared by various means by different individuals either manually or aided by computer software. Work which is underway to automate the production of schedules is now being supplemented by the development of an evaluation package for general usage . Outlined in this paper are aspects of a research project which uses ar...

It is occasionally claimed that broadcasters and programme-makers are so radically different that the rules and practices developed in other industries and organizations cannot be made to apply in our field of work. In practice – as broadcasters become progressively more dependent on IT for making and distributing programme material, schedules, control-signals and metadata – the differences are...

Introduction: Self-medication is a most important health issue in developing countries like India. Even though there is abundant healthcare access present. Still self-medication is being chosen by the patients. To estimate the prevalence of self-medication and the factors association to self-medication practices among urban fisherman population in Puducherry. Methods: Cross-Sectional Study con...

shiftwork that affects diverse aspects of human life is arranged in various schedules. the main purpose of this study was to compare psycho-social problems among employees working in different 12-hour shift schedules of iranian petrochemical industries. this cross-sectional study was carried out at eight petrochemical companies in asalooyeh area. the study population consisted of 549 shift work...

We design cryptographic protocols that recognize best case (optimistic) situations and exploit them. As a case study, we present a new concurrent zeroknowledge protocol that is expected to require only a small constant number of rounds in practice. To prove that our protocol is secure, we identify a weak property of concurrent schedules—called footer-freeness—that suffices for efficient simulat...

background: emphasis on revise and provide new methods of evaluation in medical colleges are widely increasing. evaluation methods based on clinical practice and students’ performance appraisement in health care system and in medical student is introduced as an effective method in some studies. methods: the aim of this study was to consider the usefulness of a new method to evaluate the medical...

We present a multi-objective approach to tackle a real-world nurse scheduling problem using an evolutionary algorithm. The aim is to generate a few good quality non-dominated schedules so that the decision-maker can select the most appropriate one. Our approach is designed around the premise of ‘satisfying individual nurse preferences’ which is of practical significance in our problem. We use f...

We propose duty templates as a novel concept to produce similar duty schedules for similar days of operation in public transit. Duty templates can conveniently handle various types of similarity requirements, and they can be implemented with ease using standard algorithmic techniques. They have produced good results in practice.
