In this paper, the synthesis of dicalcium silicate (C2S) via sol-gel (acid-catalyzed) process including aqueous route, non-aqueous and Pechini method is reported. The composition C2S (α, β, γ) polymorphs, by-products, amorphous content established by employing QXRD (quantitative X-ray diffraction) studies. attention has been focused to comprehend assay-amorphous relationships yield. intermediat...

BACKGROUND Sholl analysis remains one of the most commonly used methods to quantify neuronal dendritic complexity and is therefore a key analysis tool in neurobiology. While initially proposed when the quantification of neuronal structure was undertaken manually, the advent of software packages allowing automated analysis has resulted in the introduction of several semi and fully automated meth...

Abstract The quantitative multiple criteria decision making methods are practical to use in decision support systems. In this paper we analyses the quantitative multiple criteria decision making methods and sensitivity analysis methods usage in decision support systems. Both species of these methods are strongly mathematically based. We take notice of sensitivity of these methods to initial dat...

A method for quantitative assessment of tree structures is reported allowing evaluation of airway or vascular tree morphology and its associated function. Our skeletonization and branch-point identification method provides a basis for tree quantification or tree matching, tree-branch diameter measurement in any orientation, and labeling individual branch segments. All main components of our met...

Morphology is an important large-scale manifestation of the global organizational and physiological state of cells, and is commonly used as a qualitative or quantitative measure of the outcome of various assays. Here we evaluate several different basic representations of cell shape - binary masks, distance maps and polygonal outlines - and different subsequent encodings of those representations...

Application of qualitative research in management (why, when and how) Qualitative research has been increasingly used in all sciences. In this paper we will discuss about the applications of qualitative research methods in management sciences. The differences between quantitative and qualitative researches will be clarified and the statistical methods which are suitable for such researches will...
