Improved arithmetic optimization algorithm for patient admission scheduling problem
Published in: Soft Computing
Dec 16, 2023
The patient admission scheduling problem (PASP) has been studied for many years as one of the most important scheduling problems in the health sector. The primary goal of PASP is to assign patients to appropriate hospital beds while considering some hard and soft constraints. PASP is an NP-hard problem, which implies that the optimization approach is one of the best approaches that can be used to solve it. The arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) is a new optimization algorithm that can effe...
Using Measurement Invariance to Explore the Source of Variation in Basic Medical Science Students’ Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness
Published in: International Journal of Statistics in Medical Research
Dec 06, 2023
Introduction: Many research studies have shown that students' evaluations of teaching(SET) are affected by different variables without testing the requirement of fair comparisons. These studies have not tested the measurement equivalency of SET surveys according to these variables. Measurement equivalency of SET refers to whether a SET survey is interpreted similarly across different groups of individuals (Variable Levels). Without evidence of measurement invariance across different variables u...

This paper proposes a compact and frequency-adjustable/reconfigurable dielectric (DR)-loaded eighth-mode substrate integrated waveguide (EMSIW) antenna for duplex wireless communications. The miniaturization of the resonators is realized using a rectangular slot and high isolation is achieved by keeping a reasonable space between them. The proposed design is simulated using a three-dimensional (3D) full-wave simulator, then analysed with a circuit model and finally validated experimentally. Fre...
