The aim of this paper was to explore decision-making using Pythagorean fuzzy sets with an acronym in Portuguese for Interactive multi-criteria decision making (TODIM) approach. We propose a novel model that TODIM integrates the technique order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) and concepts solve problems related core alternatives facing innovative companies under bullwhip effect ...

As global public health is under threat by the 2019-nCoV and a potential new wave of large-scale epidemic outbreak spread looming, an imminent question to ask what optimal strategy prevention control (P&C) measures would be, especially in terms timing enforcing aggressive policy response so as maximize efficacy contain pandemic spread. Based on current statistic data, here we developed ...

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of early post-operative computed tomographic angiography (CTA) after direct extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery in moyamoya patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis all adult patients treated at our center from 2013 to 2019 with a EC-IC was performed. Early CTA (within 24 h surgery) compared conventional digital subtraction (DSA) 6–12 mo...

Statistical distributions are of great interest for actuaries in modelling and fitting the distribution various data sets. It can be used to present a description risk exposure on investment, where level determined by “key indicators” that usually functions statistical model. Financial mathematicians actuarial scientists often use such key indicators determine degree which particular company is...

Humidity measurement is an important technique for the agricultural, foods, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. For the sake of convenience, electrical relative humidity (RH) sensors have been widely used. These sensors need to be calibrated to ensure their accuracy and the uncertainty measurement of these sensors has become a major concern. In this study, a self-made divided-flow generat...

high congestion of returned product at remanufacturing facility causes substantial delays and consequently remarketing value losses for time-sensitive and high-tech products with short life cycles, such as electronic equipments. at the remanufacturing site the returned product are inspected and classified according to their quality and processing time in one of the two classes: class 1 being ad...

There are various opinions about how the phenomenon of sentential genericity (Carlson and Pelletier, 1995) is related to other classes of expressions of natural language. The notion of 'genericity' is most commonly viewed as having close ties to tense, mood and aspect (cf. Dahl, 1985; Comrie, 1985). For instance, philosophers and occasionally linguists (e.g. Dahl, 1975, 1985, and 1995) make use...

Transactivation by the ETS family of transcription factors, whose members share structurally conserved DNA-binding domains, is variably sensitive to methylation of their target genes. The mechanism by which DNA methylation controls ETS proteins remains poorly understood. Uncertainly also pervades the effects of hemi-methylated DNA, which occurs following DNA replication and in response to hypom...
