just like any other process, vaccine manufacturing procedures are defined as a series of interrelated functions and activities using a variety of specified actions and equipment designed to produce a defined product. to assure the reproducibility and consistency of such processes, they must be carried out using validated equipment and under the established procedures that meet all the acceptanc...

Deep learning (DL) is a type of machine learning that mimics the thinking patterns of a human brain to learn the new abstract features automatically by deep and hierarchi‐ cal layers. DL is implemented by deep neural network (DNN) which has multihidden layers. DNN is developed from traditional artificial neural network (ANN). However, in the training process of DL, it has certain inefficiency d...

throughout life cycle of oil production wells, it is imperative to have production optimization and real response time to rapid changes of well conditions and more understanding of subsurface otherwise it is the matter of expenditure losing. smart well capabilities meet aforementioned issues. however there is a key concern in managers' mind that they have limited budget and several fields' docu...

this research conducted in order to prioritize the effective criteria on development of medicinal plants cultivation in north khorasan province using analytical hierarchy process (ahp) and delphi methods. for this purpose, a list of effective factors offered to delphi group. analysis of delphi process showed that among 23 offered factors 19 factors, had greater impact on development of medicina...

the final goal of all dairy cow raising systems in the world is to use the available capacities and the cooperation of other sectors in order to solve the problems and issues, such as the limitations in time, man power and financial resources, for providing a complete answer. therefore, the need for optimization of cow raising systems by prioritization of measures and plans is the most obvious ...
