While a number of organizations and government entities have encouraged the development of more "age-friendly" environments, to date there has been limited research linking these environment features to elder outcomes. Using a representative sample of older adults living in Detroit, this study examined the association between age-friendly environment factors and self-rated health. Results indic...

The selection of appropriate work center is one of the most critical decision in process planning of a successful production environment. In this study, a user-friendly decision support system is proposed for work center selection. This system guides the decision-maker in selecting work-center from available work-centers via effective algorithms, such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). .T...

NSDUAZ (Neutron Spectrometry and Dosimetry from the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas) is a user friendly neutron unfolding package for Bonner sphere spectrometer with (6)LiI(Eu) developed under LabView(®) environment. Unfolding is carried out using a recursive iterative procedure with the SPUNIT algorithm, where the starting spectrum is obtained from a library initial guess spectra to start th...

The very notion of "reform of the international monetary system" is a very modern one in two respects. "Reform" is a conscious act, an act of volition and coordinated will, as distinguished from a series of piecemeal changes that occur as individual actors--banks, business firms, governments--respond to new circumstances, leading over time to change, but not to conscious reform. Second, the not...

The development of the eco friendly procedures makes nanoparticles as the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology. Amongst, the silver nanoparticles have become prominent in the field of medicine to their peculiar antimicrobial properties. In the present study we suggest an eco friendly procedure of extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles with an average sizes of 5-50nm using an Act...
