hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is highly prevalent in thalassemic patients, and this may decrease the serum antibody response to hepatitis b virus (hbv) vaccine. there is also some alteration of the immune system in multi-transfused thalassemic patients, as a consequence of iron overload. we investigated whether hcy infection may reduce the effectiveness of hby vaccine in multi - transfused ...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

in this study, under the constraint of resource-saving and environment-friendliness objective, based on multi-agent genetic algorithm, multi-objective spatial optimization (moso) model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the competitive-cooperative relationship. the model was applied to solve the practical m...

The Multi-Agent/Multi-Goal distributed selection modeling system supports experts at different sites to judge the solutions with many relationships in the visualized modeling. The implicit relationships in judgment modeling templates are hard to find by directly surveying the templates. The paper deducts the implicit relationship based on the dimensions established by AHP. Firstly, search for a...

in this study the optimal amount of enriching artemia franciscana with a synbiotic combination of pediococcus acidilactici and fructooligosaccharide (fos( was investigated. the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in ten treatments: multi-level probiotics p. acidilactici (1×109, 1×108 and 1× 107 cfu per l) and multi-level enriched prebiotic fos (1, 2 and 5) g per l of solu...
