Standard approaches to analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using Markov models make it difficult to generalize treatment effects to new patient groups and synthesize evidence across trials. This paper demonstrates how pair-wise and mixed…

This paper introduces the particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based approach to resolve the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSB) with the objective of minimizing project duration. Activities priorities for scheduling are represented…
-
Purpose Business networks have to coordinate each of their partners' goals and expectations, as a lack of partner compatibility and goal incongruence could lead to conflict and opportunistic behavior. These potential problems highlight the relevance…
