In this study, we first define the uncertain linguistic Choquet averaging (ULCA) operator and the generalized Shapley uncertain linguistic Choquet averaging (GS-ULCA) operator. Especially, the GS-ULCA operator does not only globally consider the importance of the elements and their ordered positions, but also overall reflect the correlations among them and their ordered positions. Meantime, som...

The problemof selection and the best option are themain subject of operation research science in decision-making theory. Selection is a process that scrutinizes and investigates several quantitative and qualitative, and most often incompatible, factors. One of the most fundamental management issues in multicriteria selection literature is the multicriteria adoption of the projects portfolio. In...

– AbstractIn a heterogeneous wireless network, multiple networks are available to provide end to end mobility and service to mobile users. So in heterogeneous wireless network, selection of the optimal network becomes an important task, which is a key technology to realize fair resource allocation and load balancing for converged multi-radio heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we combine the...

18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) is a pharmacologically active component of licorice root with documented immunomodulatory properties. We reported that GRA administered orally to mice induces B cell recruitment to isolated lymphoid follicles (ILF) in the small intestine and shortens the duration of rotavirus antigen shedding. ILF are dynamic lymphoid tissues in the gut acquired post-natally upon c...

PURPOSE To analyze the findings for Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (EOEA) and suppression effect in workers with normal hearing exposed to pesticides and noise . METHODS The sample consisted of 55 participants with normal hearing, with ages ranging from 18 to 35 years, divided into two groups: one group exposed to noise and pesticides (GRA) and a control group (CG). The GRA was composed of 25 p...

Glucocorticoid remediable aldosteronism (GRA) is an autosomal dominant cause of primary aldosteronism and high blood pressure resulting from a chimeric 11beta-hydroxylase/aldosterone synthase gene. Abnormal expression of aldosterone synthase causes primary aldosteronism, which can be inhibited by glucocorticoids. Diagnosis of GRA has depended on the identification of a restriction enzyme produc...

18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) exerts anti-tumor effects on various types of cancer. In the present study, we found that GRA attenuated the severity of gastritis and suppressed gastric tumorigenesis in transgenic mice. We also discovered that miR-149-3p was downregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines as compared to normal gastric tissues and epithelial cells, but was upregulated by GR...

18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA), a natural immunomodulator, greatly reduced the parasite load in experimental visceral leishmaniasis through nitric oxide (NO) upregulation, proinflammatory cytokine expression, and NF-κB activation. For the GRA-mediated effect, the primary kinase responsible was found to be p38, and analysis of phosphorylation kinetics as well as studies with dominant-negative (DN...

GRA 06128/9: Since their discovery at Graves Nunataks icefield during the 2006/2007 Antarctic Search for Meteorites field season, GRA 06128 and GRA 06129 have received considerable scientific attention. Their elevated modal abundances of oligoclase (>75%), blocky or slab-like character, granoblastic textures and ‘andesitic’ bulk compositions set them apart from all other meteorite classes. It h...
