Background:  The objective of the study was to appraise the total dollar value of human life losses (TDVHL) associated with COVID-19 in Canada. Methods: The net output approach (also known as human capital approach) was applied in the dollar valuation of the 6,062 human life losses associated with COVID-19 in Canada as of 23 May 2020. The economic model was rerun five times: (a) using the nati...

a thermodynamic study on the interaction between zinc ion (zn2+) and human growth hormone(hgh) was studied at two temperatures of 27c and 37c in aqueous solution using an isothermal titrationcalorimetry. it was found that there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for zn2+ ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 1.54...

This paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) under dynamic and flexible environment. CM is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. The most important benefits of CM are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...

air conditioning is widely applied for the improvement of standard of living in human life. this present investigation focused on the prediction of indoor air quality characteristics of air conditioned car using fuzzy logic algorithm. the conditioned space was selected and the experiments were planned as per design of experiments to study the effect of human load, fresh air supply and air veloc...

intellectual capital (ic) is organizational intangible asset which is frequently associated with performance. ic is commonly categorized into three core components: human capital, structural capital and relational capital. this study takes a step further in the evolution of the ic model for the hotel industry and divides relationship capital into two categories: end customer- relationship capit...
