Introduction: Several studies have contributed to our understanding of the record of alteration of CR chondrites [e.g., 1-5]. However, recent observations of CR2 GRA 06100 suggest that hydration of the CR parent body was a more diverse process than previously anticipated [6]. [6] observed that Fe,Ni metal in this meteorite was invariably and extensively altered to form complex assemblages conta...

This study evaluates an appropriate business model for e-book firms in Taiwan. We apply expert questionnaires to calculate the weights, which contain five criteria, namely, business strategy (BS), finance characteristics (FC), market characteristics (MC), quality measurements of product and service (QS) and implementation (IM) (BCCSM) for the capability of developing the firms’ business. Then, ...

Color Calibration Device is a key component for the performance of Medical Display Monitor (MDM). MDMs have been extensively used in hospitals in the past decades. The technological requirements of MDMs are higher than those of general purpose display monitors, but the gross profit margins of MDMS are larger as well. The purpose of this research is to build a hybrid multiple criteria decision m...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for asupply chain management’s success. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs) considered as animpressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria.

With the popularization of concept sustainability in traditional wickerwork, wickerwork lamps have become most popular production. When customers purchase lamp products, Kansei consensus has a key factor influencing communication between manufacturers and customers. Therefore, purpose this paper is to explore product design solutions for that meet emotional satisfaction users. Firstly, three-le...

The main purpose of this research work is to study the forming limit and fracture behaviour AZ31 magnesium alloy, as well improve formability surface roughness parts formed using warm incremental sheet (ISF) process. For ISF process, Mg alloy sheets were used. Initially, Taguchi orthogonal L27 arrays used design experiments, a framed multi-objective optimization problem was solved grey-fuzzy me...

In this work, the authors have proposed a new technique for network selection decision. This technique combines two multi attribute decision making (MADM) methods. The analytic network process (ANP) method to find the differentiate weights of available networks by considering each criterion and the grey relational analysis (GRA) method to rank the alternatives. To show the effectiveness of our ...

One of the primary causes Nigeria's underdevelopment is a lack electricity to power country's industries. Rather than relying solely on fossil fuels generate in Nigeria, variety other sources, such as nuclear energy, must be considered. A Nuclear Power Plant's (NPP) location critical step its development. This paper thus presents methodology for resolving issue NPP site selection. For this proj...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Education of patients with chronic hepatitis C has been proposed to increase response to therapy with peginterferon and ribavirin. We performed a prospective study to determine the effects of systematic consultation by a nurse on patient adherence and the efficacy of therapy. METHODS We analyzed data from 244 patients who received either systematic consultation after each me...
