A SPATIAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING IN A BUILT ENVIRONMENT
"... ABSTRACT To make the MDGs a reality, especially as it affects the built environment, and to conform with the UN Agenda 21 and Habitat Agenda summed up in the concept of urban physical sustainability, there is a need to rapidly improve the quality of decisions on land use, conversion and urban renew ..."

sites for incremental physical development in such a way as to minimize impact on other aspects of development. The application of this system shows that planning especially as it relate to the urban environment can be made more flexible, dynamic and responsive to timely decisions on geographic space.
On the Behaviour of Information Measures for Test Selection
, 2007
"... Abstract. In diagnostic decision-support systems, a test-selection facility serves to select tests that are expected to yield the largest decrease in the uncertainty about a patient's diagnosis. For capturing diagnostic uncertainty, often an infor-mation measure is used. In this paper, we study ..."

In diagnostic decision-support systems, test selection amounts to selecting, in a sequential manner, a test that is expected to yield the largest decrease in the uncertainty about a patient’s diagnosis. For capturing this uncertainty, often an information measure is used. In this paper, we ..."

The Packaging Design Approach and Evaluation Process by Integrating ISO/TR 14062 in a Decision Support Methodology
"... The environmental, economic and social conscious are particularly important in the sustainable design product. ISO/TR 14062 suggests the conceptual guideline in environmental management into product and packaging design and development stage. However, the evaluation of the sustainable design selecti ..."

It is intended to integrate between life cycle thinking and major stakeholders for functional quality, cost, and environmental aspects in the early design phases. The methodology has been tested with a very large enterprise in the section of hard
A Simulation Model of Land-Use Change in the Lake Tahoe Basin of California and Nevada, as Used in a Decision-Support System
"... Abstract: The Tahoe Land-Use Change model is a stochastic, spatially explicit simulation of future land-use change—in particular, development and retirement of individual parcels—in the Lake Tahoe Basin of California and Nevada. The Federal, State, and regional management agencies responsible for th ..."

To capture the uncertainties and variation in the exact parcels of land selected for development or retirement by individuals acting in the basin, a single model run includes multiple iterations, from which cumulative statistics are taken to describe the results

ETHICAL ASPECTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE TERMINALLY ILL PATIENT IN THE PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
, 2003
"... OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence of management plans and decision-making processes for terminal care patients in pediatric intensive care units. METHODOLOGY: Evidence-based medicine was done by a systematic review using an electronic data base (LILACS, 1982 through 2000) and (MEDLINE, 1966 thro ..."

CONCLUSION: Care management was based on ethical principles aiming at improving benefits, avoiding harm, and when possible, respecting the autonomy
Multivariate Modelling in Non-Life Insurance
, 2012
"... A non-life insurance company is generally exposed to many risks, i.e. its contractual endowments generate payments in size unknown at inception date. Many of these risks have common underlying risk drivers, hence cannot be assumed to be independent. Multivariate stochastic models are necessary in or ..."

as well as rating agencies require such a dependence modelling. From an economic and actuarial point of view, multivariate models support making prudent risk based decisions in an insurance. In the use of stochastic multivariate models, three steps can be identified. First, a specific model must
Cultural Biases in Economic Exchange",

in the decision to buy a foreign good, it should matter the most for sophisticated goods, which greatly differ on quality. For this reason, we split the sample according to Rauch (1999) goods classification. Consistent with trust causing trade, the effect is much stronger for differentiated goods than
