methylmalonic acidemia (mma) is usually caused by a deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-coa mutase (mcm), a defect in the transport or synthesis of its cofactor, adenosyl-cobalamin (cbla, cblb, cblc, cblf, cbld, and cblx), or deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-coa epimerase. a comprehensive diagnostic approach involves investigations of metabolites with tandem mass spectrometry, organic ...

This paper proposes a novel schedule-based approach for scheduling a continuous stream of batch jobs on the machines of a computational Grid. Our new solutions represented by dispatching rule Earliest Gap— Earliest Deadline First (EG-EDF) and Tabu search are based on the idea of filling gaps in the existing schedule. EG-EDF rule is able to build the schedule for all jobs incrementally by applyi...

q-mode hierarchical cluster (hca) and principal component analysis (pca) were simultaneously applied to groundwater hydrochemical data from the three times in 2004: june, september, and december, along the ain azel aquifer, algeria, to extract principal factors corresponding to the different sources of variation in the hydrochemistry, with the objective of defining the main controls on the h...

While many authors have argued for the benefits of applying principles of modularization to ontologies, there is not yet a common understanding of how modules are defined and what properties they should have. In the previous section, this question was addressed from a purely logical point of view. In this chapter, we take a broader view on possible criteria that can be used to determine the qua...

results the total art score was equal to 30.07 ± 12.43. data analysis from art illustrated that 74.6% of 240 cases were in high and 13.8% were in medium level of risk. art-electre results revealed that grading and pars naghsh halls were in the best and decoration hall was in the worst ergonomic conditions and should be placed in the top priority of action level. background in this paper, the er...
