Production scheduling of a large-scale industrial continuous plant: Short-term and medium-term scheduling

This article describes the struggle of the Pesantren Annur Azzubaidi in building excellence in the era of disruption. The aspects studied are: developing the vision of the Pesantren, large-scale planning, strengthening the skills of students, and strengthening community relations. The deepening process is carried out through qualitative research with the narrative method, where the data is obtained through observation, interviews and document studies. Meanwhile, data analysis goes through the stages: data collection, data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results showed that: 1) the development of the vision of the Pesantren Annur Azzubaidi leads to the development of quality human resources in science; 2) large-scale planning embodied in short-term plans, medium-term plans, and long-term plans; 3) train students' skills in various fields such as agriculture, animal husbandry, arts, and entrepreneurship; 4) build partnerships and strengthen relationships with the community. This study recommends the need for further research on the resilience of the cottage tradition in the industrial era 4.0.

In 2019, a textbook “Macroeconomics” was published in London, on the pages of which the authors presented a new monetary doctrine — Modern Monetary Theory, MMT, — an unorthodox concept based on the postulates of Post-Keynesianism, New Institutionalism, and the theory of Marxism. The attitude to this scientific concept in the scientific community is ambiguous. A smaller part of scientists actively support this doctrine, which is directly related to state monetary and fiscal stimulation of full employment, public debt servicing and economic growth. Others, the majority of economists, on the contrary, strongly criticize MMT, arguing that the new theory hides simple left-wing populism, designed for a temporary and short-term effect. This article considers the origins and the main provisions of MMT, its discussions with the mainstream, criticism of the basic tenets of MMT, and also assesses possible prospects for the development of MMT in the medium term.

Rts Game

In a real-time strategy (RTS) game, StarCraft II, players need to know the consequences before making a decision in combat. We propose a combat outcome predictor which utilizes terrain information as well as squad information. For training the model, we generated a StarCraft II combat dataset by simulating diverse and large-scale combat situations. The overall accuracy of our model was 89.7%. Our predictor can be integrated into the artificial intelligence agent for RTS games as a short-term decision-making module.

Breed Comparison

AbstractCloning, through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), has the potential for a large expansion of genetically favorable traits in a population in a relatively short term. In the present study we aimed to produce multiple cloned camels from racing, show and dairy exemplars. We compared several parameters including oocyte source, donor cell and breed differences, transfer methods, embryo formation and pregnancy rates and maintenance following SCNT. We successfully achieved 47 pregnancies, 28 births and 19 cloned offspring who are at present healthy and have developed normally. Here we report cloned camels from surgical embryo transfer and correlate blastocyst formation rates with the ability to achieve pregnancies. We found no difference in the parameters affecting production of clones by camel breed, and show clear differences on oocyte source in cloning outcomes. Taken together we demonstrate that large scale cloning of camels is possible and that further improvements can be achieved.
