The paper describes a new preference method and its use in multiobjective optimisation. These preferences are developed with a goal to reduce the cognitive overload associated with the relative importance of a certain criterion within a multiobjective design environment involving large numbers of objectives. Their successful integration with several genetic algorithm–based design search and opt...

 An analysis of eight microsatellite loci in 90 individuals was performed to define the genetic structure and variability of three estuarine populations of Coilia mystus: 30 individuals each  collected from ChangJiang River (Yangtze River) estuary-CJ, MinJiang River estuary-MJ, and ZhuJiang River (Pearl River) estuary-ZJ. The results showed polymorphic information contents (PIC) of 0.7...

the rapid change of land use and land cover in the metropolitan area of tehran has influenced the distribution pattern of land surface temperature (lst). in this study, a spatial autocorrelation analysis is adopted to process the spatial-temporal changes of lst and normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi) in tehran during the period of 1987 to 2010. global spatial autocorrelation analysis ...

We study spectral triples on (weighted) groups and consider functors between the categories of weighted groups and spectral triples. We study the properties of weights and the corresponding functor for spectral triples coming from discrete weighted groups.

Neurodegeneration with brain-iron accumulation (NBIA) encompasses a family of neurodegenerative disorders connected by evidence of abnormal brain iron deposition. Advances in imaging and genetic testing expanded the clinical spectrum of these disorders. Here, a case of parkinsonism and dystonia with orofacial stereotypies is presented. While the patient was initially diagnosed with Parkinson's ...
