Graph Planning
This document summarizes a lecture on classical planning techniques. It introduces STRIPS planning, where operators are defined with preconditions and postconditions specifying what is added and deleted from the state. Graph planning techniques are discussed, including partial order planning algorithms. Limitations of classical planning are also covered, such as the need for hierarchical abstraction, conditional planning, and replanning to handle real-world uncertainty.

The document discusses bridging the technology gap between large enterprises and middle-market suppliers in electronic trading. It outlines the components of supply chain integration and barriers faced by middle-market suppliers, such as lack of integration between business systems and EDI/XML capabilities. A case study examines how a proprietary system called Red Tail Business Process Integrator can provide virtual integration capabilities to help middle-market suppliers comply with the complex requirements of large customers.
An Htn Planning System
SHOP2 is an HTN planning system that was one of the top performers in the 2002 international planning competition. Some key features of SHOP2 include:
1) It plans hierarchically by decomposing tasks into subtasks recursively until reaching primitive tasks that can be directly executed.
2) Its domain descriptions include methods for task decomposition, operators for task execution, and axioms for representing preconditions.
3) It is able to handle numeric values, external function calls, and temporal planning domains through a technique called multi-timeline preprocessing.
Placing Geography
The document discusses the current state and future direction of geography education in the UK. It outlines some of the challenges facing geography, such as a poor public image and outdated curriculum frameworks. It also discusses opportunities to address these issues, such as support from the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and subject associations. The document advocates for a change in culture to focus on curriculum inputs and quality of experience rather than just outcomes and qualifications. It presents a vision for geography to make a distinctive contribution to the curriculum by focusing on key concepts like geographical imagination and interdependence.
Where Is The Mistake Production
The document lists a series of statements about economic concepts and asks the reader to identify mistakes in each statement. It provides blanks to write the incorrect words or phrases and their corrections. The statements cover topics such as factors of production, types of economies, production methods, and goods.
Classical And Htn Planning
This document summarizes Pat Langley's research on learning hierarchical task networks (HTNs) from problem solving. The key points are:
1) It presents an approach to interleaving HTN execution with classical planning when impasses are encountered, allowing HTNs to be learned from problem solving traces.
2) It introduces a specialized class of HTNs that can be executed reactively but in a goal-directed manner.
3) It describes a method for learning new HTN methods by analyzing successful problem solving traces to determine the hierarchical structure, heads, and conditions of learned clauses.

Diagrammatic Cognition: Discovery and Design workshop, Humboldt University, B...University of Huddersfield
This workshop is designed to integrate a wide variety of cognitive science perspectives on the roles diagrams play in cognition, addressing various ways in which people design and use diagrams to spatialize thought and make it public, to work through ideas and clarify thinking, to reduce working memory load, to communicate ideas to others, to promote collaborative work by providing an external representation that can be pointed to and animated by gestures and collectively revised. The morning session (talks by Tversky, Healey, and Kirsh) will focus on creating and diagrams and using them to coordinate various activities, the afternoon (talks by Bechtel, Cheng, and Hegarty) will examine uses of diagrams in science. Both session will also include blitz talks presenting one major idea; scholars who would like to present blitz talks should contact the organizer.

Presented October 21 at CELDA 2023 in Madeira Portugal, https://www.celda-conf.org/
Abstract: This quasi-experimental study seeks to improve the conceptual quality of summary essays by comparing two conditions, essay prompts with or without a list of 13 broad concepts, the concepts were selected across a continuum of the 100 most frequent words in the lesson materials. It is anticipated that only the most central concepts will be used as “anchors” when writing. Participants (n = 90) in an Architectural Engineering undergraduate course read the assigned lesson textbook chapter and attended lectures and labs, then in a final lab session were asked to write a 300-word summary of the lesson content. Data consists of the essays converted to networks and the end-of-unit multiple choice test. Compared to the expert network benchmark, the essay networks of those receiving the broad concepts in the writing prompt were not significantly different from those who did not receive these concepts. However those receiving the broad concepts were significantly more like peer essay networks (mental model convergence) and like the networks of the two PowerPoint lectures but neither were like the textbook chapter. Further, those receiving the broad concepts performed significantly better on the end-of-unit test than those not receiving the concepts. Term frequency analysis of the essays indicates as expected that the most network-central concepts had a greater frequency in essays, the other terms frequencies were remarkably the same for both the terms and no terms groups, suggesting a similar underlying conceptual mental model of this lesson content. To further explore the influence of anchoring concepts in summary writing prompts, essays were generated with the same two summary writing prompts using OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Google Bard, plus a new prompt that used the 13 most central concepts from the expert’s network. The quality of the essay networks for both AI systems were equivalent to the students' essay networks for the broad concepts and for the no concept treatments. However the AI essays derived with the 13 most central concepts were significantly better (more like the expert network) than the students and AI essays derived with broad concepts or no concepts treatments. In addition, Bard and OpenAI used several of the same concepts at a higher frequency than the students suggesting that the two AI systems have more similar knowledge graphs of this content. In sum, adding 13 broad conceptual terms to a summary writing prompt improved both structural and declarative knowledge outcomes, but adding 13 most central concepts may be even better. More research is needed to understand how including concepts and other terms in a writing prompt influences students’ essay conceptual structure and subsequent test performance.

CMI 2012 Designing CCSSM Systemic Curriculum: An Experience from the Field
This document discusses the process of designing a systemic curriculum based on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM). It emphasizes the importance of thinking systemically and strategically planning as this affects curriculum mapping. An effective approach is to form a K-12 mathematics task force to collaboratively design the curriculum with a vertical emphasis. The task force breaks down the standards to create content and skills, which are then organized into units of study with vertical and horizontal alignment. Implementing this design requires leadership to manage the magnitude of change and build teacher relationships throughout the process.

Modular Multitask Reinforcement Learning with Policy Sketches
This document summarizes research on modular multitask reinforcement learning with policy sketches. The proposed approach uses policy sketches to provide loose task supervision that is decoupled from the environment. This allows neural networks to learn reusable policies across related tasks without explicit reward engineering. Experiments show the approach allows agents to achieve similar performance on seen and unseen tasks, and ablation studies demonstrate the importance of the policy sketches for hierarchical reinforcement learning. However, the approach is limited to tasks that can be decomposed into simpler sub-tasks by humans.

BELIV'10 Keynote: Conceptual and Practical Challenges in InfoViz Evaluations
This document discusses conceptual and practical challenges in evaluating information visualization (InfoViz) systems. It notes concerns that many InfoViz evaluation studies use simple outcome measures like task completion time without clarity on what constructs are being evaluated or strong theoretical motivation. As an example, it analyzes how the concept of "overview" is used inconsistently in InfoViz papers. It also examines how studies of fisheye interfaces have had mixed results and questions whether some components of how they work are as useful as thought. Overall, it argues InfoViz evaluation needs more theoretically grounded experiments that build on past work to better understand how systems support users.

A Problem With Current Conceptions Of Expert Problem Solving
This document discusses current conceptions of expert problem solving in physics and engineering education. It presents research showing that expert problem solving is typically conceptualized as having separate steps for physical/conceptual reasoning and mathematical reasoning. However, the authors explore the hypothesis that blending conceptual and symbolic reasoning during mathematical manipulations may better indicate expertise. They present case studies of two students - Alex, who uses equations computationally, and Pat, who finds a shortcut by verbally connecting math and physics concepts. Coding other student interviews confirms a correlation between shortcuts and conceptual explanations of equations. This suggests undergraduate students can blend reasoning and that symbolic forms may be a useful instructional target.

The document summarizes a cluster analysis of 50 tests from the WJ III cognitive and achievement battery. The analysis revealed clusters that supported most major CHC broad abilities, with some exceptions. It also generated some potential new findings, such as possible subfactors within broad abilities like Gf, Grw, and Gs, as well as intermediate dimensions like temporal processing. The analysis provides further evidence for the CHC model while also suggesting areas for potential refinement or extension.
Work Study & Productivity
This document discusses work study techniques used to analyze human work and improve efficiency. It defines work study, method study, and work measurement. Method study examines work processes to develop more effective methods using a six-step approach. Work measurement techniques include time study, activity sampling, and predetermined time systems to establish standard times for tasks. The goals of work study are to optimize the use of resources, increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve working conditions and quality.
Work Study
Work study is a technique used to systematically analyze work processes to improve efficiency. It involves observing work, documenting the current process, analyzing it for improvements, developing a more efficient method, measuring the new method, and implementing it as the standard. The key founders who developed techniques in this area include Frederick Taylor with time motion studies, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth with motion studies, and Henry Gantt with task scheduling. Work study specialists must gain cooperation from supervisors and workers, and consider the human factors, to successfully conduct a study and implement new standards.
Motion And Time Study
Motion and Time Study are methods used to analyze work processes and determine standard times. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth pioneered Motion Study in the 1880s to analyze body motions. Frederick Taylor developed Time Study in the 1880s to measure task completion times. Modern tools like motion cameras, stopwatches, and software are used to study processes in manufacturing, offices, hospitals and more in order to identify inefficiencies and establish performance standards.
Motion Study
The document discusses principles and approaches for improving work efficiency through motion study and work design, including:
1. Four principles of motion economy to reduce unnecessary movement - reduce motions, perform simultaneously, shorten distances, make motions easier.
2. Ergonomic considerations for tool and workstation layout such as positioning parts and tools for sequential use, gravity feeding, and correct working heights.
3. Methods for analyzing and improving operations including eliminating unnecessary steps, simplifying processes, combining tasks, and rearranging sequences.
The Christmas Story

It describes how the mother was always there to support and celebrate her child at each milestone, from standing up and taking first steps to starting school, getting sick, riding a bicycle, and becoming independent. It reminds the reader to show their love and spend time with their mother while they can, as the mother has given her all through the years and now in old age just desires a bit of her child's love and time in return.
Linearization
Linearization involves developing a linear approximation of a nonlinear system around an operating point. This allows tools from linear systems theory to be applied to analyze and design controllers for nonlinear systems. Specifically, Taylor's theorem is used to expand the nonlinear functions as a linear combination of deviations from the operating point. The resulting linearized model is only valid locally but provides an approximate way to analyze system behavior if well-controlled near the operating point. Examples show how to derive linearized models for common nonlinear systems like tanks and chemical reactors.
Kblmt B000 Intro Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing
The document introduces Kaizen-based Lean Manufacturing (KBLM) as a way for businesses to increase speed, improve quality, and lower costs compared to traditional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems. It discusses eight basics of KBLM, including information integrity, motivational measurement, sequential production, point-of-use logistics, cycle time management, production linearity, resource planning, and customer connectivity. Case studies show companies achieving reductions in costs, inventory levels, and product build times by implementing KBLM.
How To Survive
The document provides seven rules for surviving in a new economy: 1) Accept ambiguity and uncertainty; 2) Hold yourself accountable for outcomes; 3) Become a quick change artist and adapt to changes; 4) Add value through your work; 5) Be a problem solver rather than pointing fingers; 6) Practice continuous improvement through lean processes; 7) Continue learning new skills. The introductory quote emphasizes embracing positive change and progress rather than resisting it or becoming part of negative forces that stand in the way.
Dad
A son or daughter's perspective of their father changes dramatically over time, from seeing their father as all-knowing when young, to viewing them as outdated and unreasonable during the teenage years, to later gaining appreciation for all the hardships and sacrifices their father endured to raise them as they become parents themselves.
Ancient Hieroglyphics
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics originated as a sacred writing system used since around 3000 BC, combining alphabetic, logographic, and ideographic elements. It was used by priests, scribes, and educated citizens in different scripts until being replaced by Coptic in the 4th century AD. The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, had the key to decrypting hieroglyphics by bearing a decree in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic. It was deciphered in 1822, unlocking understanding of ancient Egyptian writings.
DesignPeopleSystem
The document discusses various aspects of job design and work systems, including:
1. Job design involves specifying the content, tasks, responsibilities, and methods associated with a job.
2. Ergonomics and behavioral approaches aim to incorporate human factors and motivate workers through variety, autonomy, and feedback.
3. Traditional efficiency approaches focus on specialization and standardization of tasks from a productivity standpoint.
4. Effective job design balances both human and technical factors to optimize performance and satisfaction.
Organizational Behavior
Organizational behavior (OB) involves studying how individuals and groups function within organizations to accomplish work. Managers play an important role as they interact with others and direct activities to achieve organizational and personal goals. Manager's interpersonal skills are important because views of organizations are changing from seeing them as machines to seeing them as social systems where relationships among individuals are important. OB draws on various behavioral disciplines like psychology, sociology, and anthropology to study individual behavior, group behavior, organizational structure, and their impact on organizational effectiveness and efficiency.
Work Study Workshop
The document summarizes the key aspects of an on-campus work-study program, including eligibility requirements, the roles and responsibilities of various parties, and operational guidelines. It outlines the financial aid application process, how student earnings are subsidized, employment conditions, payroll procedures, and the auditing process to ensure compliance. Departments must submit agreements, post available positions, hire eligible students, and monitor hours worked, while the Work-Study Office reviews placements and provides guidance.
Workstudy
The document discusses various topics related to work study and productivity including:
- Defining work study, productivity, and their importance in analyzing work processes and identifying areas for improvement.
- Key aspects of work study such as method study, work measurement, incentive plans, and examining worker-machine relationships.
- Modeling work processes using tools like flow diagrams and developing standard times.
- The role of work study in broader areas like systems analysis, business process reengineering, and human-computer interface design.
Time And Motion Study
Time and motion studies are methods used to determine the optimal time it takes to complete tasks. They were developed by Frederick Taylor and the Gilbreths to establish fair work standards and eliminate unnecessary motions. While originally used in manufacturing, today time and motion studies can be applied to performance evaluations, planning, problem solving, and cost analysis in various organizations. The objective is to study jobs and determine standard times through observation, task breakdown, and time recording. Allowance factors are added to standard times to account for contingencies. However, studies may not always accurately capture real work conditions due to observer or worker issues.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
