Objective(s): Graphene as two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted wide attention in different fields such as biomedical imaging. Ultra-small graphene nano-sheets (UGNSs) have been designated as low dimensional graphene sheets with lateral dimensions less than few nanometres (≤ 500 nm) in one, two or few layers. Several studies have proven that the process of acidic exfoliation and oxidati...

Multi-dimensional data (i.e., data referenced in one, two, three, and four dimensions) are often managed by transportation agencies with databases and technologies that cannot be integrated due in part to the lack of a comprehensive model for location referencing of the data. This lack of a comprehensive location referencing system data model limits organizations in implementing improved soluti...

most of the multi-criteria decision methods (mcdm), including analytic hierarchy process (ahp) and analytic network process (anp), use subjective judgments for obtaining the relative importance of the decision elements of a subject matter. this has been considered as one the important limitations of the mcdms. the f’anp model, a hybrid factor analysis and analytic network process (f’anp) model ...

Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...

Governments worldwide are encouraging public agencies to join e-Government initiatives in order to provide better services to their citizens and businesses; hence, methods of evaluating the readiness of individual public agencies to execute specific e-Government programs and directives are a key ingredient in the successful expansion of e-Government. To satisfy this need, a model called the eGo...

Business Process Management (BPM), in various forms, has been around for the last 10 to 15 years. During this time BPM has progressed to a holistic management approach that has an inherent level of complexity resulting in part from the myriad of implementation options available. This paper proposes a BPM Maturity model that provides a framework for the detailed evaluation of BPM capabilities an...

Data in a data warehouse is organized in a multidimensional model. This multidimensional model helps in faster query processing and efficient OLAP operations for data analysis and decision making. In this paper, we introduce a framework which proposes design methodologies to map the relational database into a multidimensional model. The process starts with first cleaning the relational database...

In this piece, we develop a holistic model of transformation. Model development is grounded in current transformation theory. We embarked on this daunting task because we believe that holism offers an excellent paradigm for managing change that can be of benefit to both academics and practitioners. We initially test our theoretical model by examining how well it maps onto an existing organizati...

This article examines some of the differential diagnostic considerations associated with the interaction between advanced cocaine psychosis and the neuropsychiatric manifestations of AIDS-Spectrum Disorders. A clinical case is presented to illustrate the potential for institutional countertransference in the treatment of substance abusing patients. The role of a multi-dimensional hypotheses tes...
