Children spend around 25% of their time of 260 days in a year in school. Hence early detection of abnormalities in health enables timely corrective measures to be taken. A descriptive study related to health of primary class students was carried out from June to September 2013 in a village which lies inside Kathmandu valley. Health status and related behavior was assessed in 69 students from a ...

This note remarks that small-gain results for a negative feedback loop around a monotone system can be seen as consequences of results concerning an extended monotone system.

This paper shortly introduces features of a software system called PANDORA-BOX. 1 It shows a novel use of timelinebased planning as the core element in a dynamic training environment for crisis managers. A trainer is provided with a combination of planning and execution functionalities that allow him to maintain and adapt a “lesson plan” as the basis for the interaction between him and the invo...

We can find the response of an open-loop system due to given input using any of the methods presented in this textbook. The response obtained is strictly determined by information about the system mathematical model, system input, and system initial conditions. In control theory and its applications, given system input and initial conditions, the goal is for the system output to have a desired ...

In early September of 2008, the adverse consequences of the subprime crisis spread and deepened at an alarming pace. On September 7, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two cornerstones in the securitization of mortgages, were placed under conservatorship by their regulator (the Federal Housing Financial Agency).

Processes may require to execute the same activity in different stages of the process. A human modeler can express this by creating two different task nodes labeled with the same activity name (thus duplicating the task). However, as events in an event log often are labeled with the activity name, discovery algorithms that derive tasks based on labels only cannot discover models with duplicate ...
