with the increase in population and consequent increasing needs of society, land use planning is of particular importance. land use planning due to being involved with several conflicting aims, multi- objective evolutionary algorithm would be a useful tool to solve land use planning. but use of these algorithms should be examined according to the type of issues. in the study, addition to introd...

This paper describes a deductive approach to "region use" planning problems. The planning task is viewed as one of devising a complete set of policy rules by iteratively modifying the rules and making their deductive consequences readily available to the planner. The application of this approach to a National Park region zoning problem is also described. Central to the system are the representa...

Traditional approaches to task planning assume the planner has access to all of the world information needed to develop a complete, correct plan|a plan which can then be executed in its entirety by a robot. We consider problems where some crucial information is missing at plan time but can be obtained from sensors during execution. We discuss the solution of these problems through deferred plan...

Background: One in ten people in the U.S. are affected by a substance use disorder (SUD), roughly one third of whom are women. Rates of unintended pregnancy are higher in this population than in the general public. Little is understood about how women with SUD use prescription contraception and think about pregnancy. Methods: By analyzing Medicaid claims data and conducting qualitative intervie...

Existing plan synthesis approaches in artiicial intelligence fall into two categories { domain independent and domain dependent. The domain independent approaches are applicable across a variety of domains, but may not be very eecient in any one given domain. The domain dependent approaches need to be (re)designed for each domain separately, but can be very eecient in the domain for which they ...

In this article we survey the background and recent development on the Kequivalence relation among birational manifolds. The content is based on the author’s talk at ICCM-2001 at Taipei. I would like to dedicate this article to Professor Chern, Shiing-shen to celebrate his 90th birthday. For manifolds, K-equivalence is the same as c1-equivalence. In this sense, a major part of birational geomet...

urban effete textures are multiple problems at conspectus skeletal, environmental, social and economic that encounter life of inhabitants with problem in this texture. according to the research, almost 90% of population in country exposed hazard of occurrence earthquake. in this face, by reason of problems, effete textures are over damage if the earthquake happened. nonetheless, to make provisi...
