New Approach of Science: Picoscience and Picotechnology

Emerging Trends of Nanotechnology towards Picotechnology: Energy and Biomolecules

In nature, metal oxide particles display their existance of picomolecules in solution state at the picoscale and bioactive states in the body. We put evidence of picomolar behavior of picoscale molecules different than nanomolar behavior of particles using PICOTECHNOLOGY devices. PICOTECHNOLOGY means picomolar measurement of picoscale molecule physical properties measured by pico-devices or pic...

A new approach for solving fuzzy multi-objective quadratic programming of water resource allocation problem

Nanotechnology and picotechnology to increase tissue growth: a summary of in vivo studies

The aim of tissue engineering is to develop functional substitutes for damaged tissues or malfunctioning organs. Since only nanomaterials can mimic the surface properties (ie, roughness) of natural tissues and have tunable properties (such as mechanical, magnetic, electrical, optical, and other properties), they are good candidates for increasing tissue growth, minimizing inflammation, and inhi...

A new heuristic approach to solve product mix problems in a multi-bottleneck system

Product mix problem (PMP) is one of the most important and complicated problems in production systems. Different approaches have been applied to solve this problem, among them, theory of constraints (TOC) has been widely considered since 1990s. This paper develops a distinguished algorithm to solve product mix prob-lems that is efficient both in single and multi-bottleneck problems. At first, t...

A new approach for performance evaluation of energy-related enterprises

Oil is among the most effective and the largest industries in the world. Given that it supplies a large percentage of the world’s energy and plays a significant role in the national power and international credit of countries, it has a huge impact on our world today. Iran has  huge oil reserves, and plays a key role in the exchange of the required energy in the world. In order to improve the pe...
