Background and Objectives: Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a well-established model to alleviate the risk of investment in health domain. While the model is widely applied in the developed countries, the adoption of the model in many developing countries is hampered partly by the lack of knowledge on dimensions and requirements of its local implementation. The present study...

in this paper, rstly, it is proved that, for a fuzzy vector space, the set of its fuzzy bases de ned by shi and huang, is equivalent to the family of its bases de ned by p. lubczonok. secondly, for two fuzzy vector spaces, it is proved that they are isomorphic if and only if they have the same fuzzy dimension, and if their fuzzy dimensions are equal, then their dimensions are the same, however,...

due to key role of parent companies in directing subsidiaries and their huge under-management investments, awareness of changes in external environment as well as sufficient feel of subsidiaries are very crucial in group overall success. so it is essential that the research area of intelligence which was conventionally centralized around single-business companies emerges this time with regard t...

Syncope and epileptic seizures share some common clinical characteristics that may complicate the diagnostic process. In clinical practice, syncope is frequently misdiagnosed as an epileptic seizure and consequently treated with antiepileptic drugs. In this study, we identified 57 patients with syncope (diagnosis based on accepted criteria) who had come to our unit with a previous diagnosis of ...

Simple and practical finite-volume schemes for the lattice Boltzmann equation are derived in two and three dimensions through the application of modern finite-volume methods. The schemes use a finite-volume vortex-type formulation based on quadrilateral elements in two dimensions and trilinear hexahedral elements in three dimensions. It is shown that the schemes are applicable to domains with i...

Geometric constraint solving has applications in a wide variety of elds, such as mechanical engineering, chemical molecular conformation, geometric theorem proving, and surveying. The problem consists of a given set of geometric elements and a description of geometric constraints between the elements. The goal is to nd all placements of the geometric entities which satisfy the given constraints...
