Facility location-allocation (FLA) problem, which has been proved to be a valuable method in siting service facility, is widely used in real life, such as emergency service systems, telecommunication networks, public services, etc. However, in real-world situations, the decision maker often lack the information about the customers’ demands, which leads to the FLA problem in uncertain environmen...

This study aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI), foreign language anxiety (FLA), and demotivational factors (DF) at a foundation university in Istanbul, Turkey. 148 B1 (intermediate level) students enrolled English preparatory school participated this study. Data were collected from Turkish-adapted version of Emotional Intelligence Quotient Inventory (EQ-i), ...

Pathogenic FLA are ubiquitous protozoans and despite frequent human contact remain a rare cause of often devastating infectionwith poor prognosis. Given changes in climate, human encroachment into the environment, increasing immunosuppression, and improving diagnostic capacity, it is likely we will see increased cases in the future. Early diagnosis is challenging but crucial to achieving a favo...

background: free-living amoebae (fla) are protozoa that are widely distributed in the environment mainly in water and soil related habitats. thermophilic amoebae are among the most common fla in water bodies, being vermamoeba vermiformis one of the most common species reported worldwide from these sources. interestingly, v. vermiformis has often been reported to survive at high temperatures and...

The relationship between foreign language anxiety (FLA) and enjoyment (FLE) experienced during a creative collaborative oral English-as-a-foreign-language task, the relationships FLE/FLA task speech fluency were investigated. was performed by mid-intermediate/high-intermediate English learners ( N = 43) in groups culminated 2-minute monologues every participant, breakdown (the ratio length of m...

Objective: Free-living amoeba (FLA) are protozoa living in soil and natural man-made water systems. They attract much attention owing to the illnesses associated with them their relationships bacteria. In this study, effect of cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from FLA against Staphylococcus was investigated. Materials Methods: Environmental strains (A1, A2, A3) were lake swimming pools Ista...

The fluorescent leprosy antibody absorption (FLA-ABS) test was improved by absorbing the serum with suspensions of BCG and M. vaccae. This test was positive in nearly 100% of patients with bacteriologically positive forms of leprosy and in approximately 80% of tuberculoid cases but negative in 18 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, in 50 healthy noncontacts, and in 136 of 138 non-leprosy pati...

Free-living amoebae pose a potential health risk in water systems as they may be pathogenic and harbor potential pathogenic bacteria known as amoebae resistant bacteria. Free-living amoebae were observed in 150 (87.2%) of the environmental water samples. In particular, Acanthamoeba sp. was identified in 22 (12.8%) using amoebal enrichment and confirmed by molecular analysis. FLA were isolated i...

Today’s logistic systems in companies depend on optimum solutions of Facility Location-Allocation (FLA) problems in order to minimize cost values the company is dealing with. Therefore, FLA plays an important role in nowadays business environment. In this paper, a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (HGA) is proposed to solve FLA. The HGA is a combination of Genetic Algorithm and Tabu Search while NSGA II...
