Incomplete preferences are likely to arise in realworld preference aggregation and voting systems. This paper deals with determining whether an incomplete preference profile is single-peaked. This is essential information since many intractable voting problems become tractable for single-peaked profiles. We prove that for incomplete profiles the problem of determining single-peakedness is NPcom...

Disease diagnosis using molecular profiles has gained more attention during the last decades. Among the molecular diagnosis study, metabolomics has been a recently emerging field as promising tools for early detection of diseases. However, due to complexity and largeness of the metabolic profile data, data mining techniques have been essential to handle, process, and analyze the data, and also ...

Background: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) have significantly reduced the incidence of acute rejection. Nephrotoxicity however may contribute to long-term allograft dysfunction. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may allow cyclosporine (CsA) dose reduction without increasing the risk of rejection. Methods: In seventy-eight living unrelated kidney transplant patients with renal dysfunction, we studi...

precision forging process is widely used for the production of spur gears due to its advantages such asimproved strength and surface finish, little waste of materials and reduction in the machining time ofthe gear. an important aspect of precision forging process is the load required to perform the processsuccessfully and design the forging tools. in this research, a new kinematically admissibl...
