BACKGROUND/AIM Almond hull is produced in high amounts and mostly used as livestock feed. This study was designed to examine the impact of almond hull powder (AHP) administration on lipid profile and antioxidant activities in plasma and liver in hyperlipidemic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS As the first step, the antioxidant capacity and radical scavenging activity of AHP were determined using c...

The purpose of this paper is to extend the theory of Hierarchies Consistency Analysis (HCA) to establish a multiple structures evaluation model for the AHP. Traditionally, the AHP process is based on a single evaluation hierarchy, according to statistics and group decision theories, a more objective evaluation will be obtained if we can compromise several estimates. We will construct several di...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is major method for decision making now and decision maker’s answers are strongly related to his or her cognitive abilities. Inner dependence AHP is used for cases in which criteria or alternatives are not independent enough. In the process, calculations and compositions of weights are very important steps. Using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may caus...

This paper presents an empirical study on the impact of maintenance function more sustainable manufacturing processes. The work methodology comprises four stages. At first, ten factors activities from a point view were identified. Then, in second stage, matrix crossed multiplications applied to classification (MICMAC) was carried out categorize these based their influence and dependence values....

Modulation of afterhyperpolarization (AHP) represents an important mechanism by which excitability of a neuron can be regulated. In the leech brain, sensitization enhances excitability of the S-cell, an interneuron thought to play an important role in this form of nonassociative learning. This increase in excitability is serotonin (5-HT) dependent, but it is not known whether changes in AHP con...
