Examining Racial and Ethnic Disparity in Prosecutor’s Bail Requests and Downstream Decision Making
… research into prosecutorial and judicial decision making has been taking place for over three decades, but a great deal remains unknown about the mechanics of prosecution. A majority of the work done by prosecutors occurs outside of public view, and most research focuses on the ‘back end’ …

Structured decomposition of adaptive applications
… to automate certain high-level implementation decisions in a pervasive application, allowing them to be postponed until run time. Our system enables a model in which an application programmer can specify the behavior of an adaptive application as a set of open-ended decision points. We …

Assessing decision inputs in drug development between small, early stage companies and big pharma : is there is a difference?
… and compare qualitatively and quantitatively the decisions for projects at key decision points between early stage pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and Big Pharma. Given that much of the critical discovery and R&D work on pharmaceutical products happens both before and during a product's …

Decision models for optimizing fuel enrichment services under long-term fixed-commitment contracts
… purpose of this study is to construct and test decision models that will enable utility companies to identify cost effective strategies for dealing with enrichment service contracts. Specifically, three decision models are developed to analyze the 18 month decision points of the Long-Term …

Manufacturing footprint strategy for product line expansion
… linear optimization program it can be used as a decision support tool to inform the operational strategy. Likely expansion scenarios and decision points (consolidation, acquisition, capital expenditures, etc.) are considered as decision variables in the supply chain optimization model to minimize …

A computer program for the tentative selection of structural members
… and to make clear the analytic and decision making process incorporated in the program's construction. The user is presumed to be a designer or architectural student. Efforts towards the design of the program have been aimed at making the software effective for designers and …

AUGMENTED REALITY SPATIAL CUES FOR TARGET ACQUISITION
… warfare is generating numerous time-critical decision points that can exceed the cognitive capacity of the average Marine. By reducing extraneous cognitive demands through the use of augmented reality (AR), warfighters may gain more bandwidth to focus on essential tactical decisions. AR has …

Comparison of Distributed Versus Collocated Command Group Collaboration Performance
… primarily due to the cumulative effect of poor decision making across the multiple decision points required of the command groups during the exercise.

Goal-oriented hardware design
… is a programming framework to specify open-ended decision logic. This approach relies on two fundamental concepts-Goals and Techniques. Goals encode decision points and Techniques are scripts that describe how to satisfy Goals. In Fide, Goals represent the functional requirements (e.g., addition …

Factors that Influence Women's Decision During Menopause
… associated with a period of uncertainty; 2) decision points concerning symptom management that occurred once or several times over the perimenopause transition; and 3) ways of self care, which included strictly personal care, care women sought from a health professional, and support received …

Reducing Disparities in the Adult Criminal Justice System: Creating a Model for Denver County
… to research which leans towards analyzing system decision points in a vacuum, the misuse of official statistics to determine who is involved in crime, and the difficulty in translating solutions to the problem into practice. Disparate treatment of people of color in the American criminal justice …

Stochastic Petri Net Models of Service Availability in a PBNM System for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
… by certain nodes called policy execution points (PEPs) or policy clients from certain specialized nodes called the policy decision points (PDPs) or policy servers. We develop analytical models for the study of the system behavior under two scenarios; a simple Markovian scenario where we …

Lot-sizing in the wood furniture industry
… in this research. In order to understand the decision points better in the furniture manufacturing process, the IDEF (ICAM definition) procedure is used to describe the furniture manufacturing process. The methodology developed is applied to a real-life problem and the results are summarized.

Identifying enterprise leverage points in Defense Acquisition Program performance
… of time and corresponding probabilistic decision points into a model ideal for discrete-event simulation. An extensive program of verification and validation of the model was carried out to increase confidence in the model and its simulation outcomes.

Modeling Human Movement in the Wilderness: Navigating Lost Person Behavior and Searcher Response
… contours), explicit spatial and temporal decision points, and direct comparisons to observed tracks. Through simulation of all possible behavior distributions, we find an average behavioral profile for a hiker in the wilderness that can be adapted to accommodate other categories of lost …

Organizational analysis of building projects
… organized as rigid hierarchies, particularly at decision points, when what was required was a more flexible, dynamic and responsive organization. The study concludes with a series of recommendations; including suggestions for increasing the responsiveness of construction project organizations, …

Sequential Decision Making For Choice Functions On Gambles
… preference and uncertainty models. For single decisions, applying a choice function is straightforward. In sequential problems, where the subject has multiple decision points, it is less easy. One possibility, called a normal form solution, is to list all available strategies (specifications of …

Cognitive Map Generation for Vision and Language Navigation
… Cognitive Map consists of nodes representing waypoints, landmarks, decision points, and edges encoding spatial relationships and navigational actions. These maps are generated using Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4o, to extract spatial information and construct detailed route …
