The use of operationally-defined sequential Fe extraction methods for mineralogical applications: A cautionary tale from Mössbauer spectroscopy

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Sequential Methods and Their Applications

Pseudothrombocytopenia--a cautionary tale.

Multichannel electronic cell counters are now in widespread use in haematology laboratories. Platelet counts are given routinely by many instruments and low platelet counts generate much further investigation. A falsely low platelet count may expose the patient to unnecessary and expensive investigation and treatment, and we report two illustrative cases. The platelet counts were performed on b...

Soliloquy: a Cautionary Tale

The Soliloquy primitive, first proposed by the third author in 2007, is based on cyclic lattices. It has very good efficiency properties, both in terms of public key size and the speed of encryption and decryption. There are straightforward techniques for turning Soliloquy into a key exchange or other public-key protocols. Despite these properties, we abandoned research on Soliloquy after devel...

Twitter911: A Cautionary Tale

Researchers have argued that social media, and in particular, Twitter, can be searched to improve “situational awareness” in emergency situations; that is, to provide objective, actionable, real-time information to first-responders. Prior studies have examined cases of very rare, catastrophic emergencies that took place over many days, such as the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. We asked instead ...
