Recently, many quantitative or qualitative techniques have been developed to support human resource management (HRM) activities, including Human Resource Information System (HRIS). More importantly, HRIS can include Expert System (ES), Decision Support System (DSS), and Executive Information System (EIS). As DSS and Group Support System (GSS) are able to facilitate human resources (HR) groups t...

This paper aims to develop a fuzzy dynamic programming approach formultiobjectivemultistage decisionmaking problems. Fuzzy dynamic programming usually convert the problems into corresponding single objective problems by an aggregate of hybrid objective values that expresses the performance of the particular stage decision. Weightassessment is an important problem arising from the evaluation of ...

INTRODUCTION Resistance in nucleoside/nucleotide analog (NA) therapy has always been a challenge in the management of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). CLINICAL STUDIES Initially developed for the treatment of HIV infection, early in vitro and clinical observational studies had shown tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to be also active against CHB. Recent data from various multicenter phase 3 and 4...

SINCE Marfan (1896) first described the condition of "dolichostenomalie", some 200 cases have been reported in the literature, each with its variation of the original and with some added claim to the unique. That the syndrome is associated with other congenital abnormalities is also widely reported; its occurrence with congenital heart disease was noted by Lloyd (1937) in his review of a number...

The report attempts to deliver a proof of concept that optimal planning and management strategies can be formulated through applying robust optimization methodology such that limited resources could be allocated more rationally, and reliability of a highway network improved more efficiently. The report focuses on two applications: the network design problem under demand uncertainty, and fleet a...

In order to provide more precise decision-makings for agricultural producers, an intelligent forecasting system is proposed for agricultural applications in this paper, which processes data stream collected from agricultural environment applying WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technology. Sensor data stream is different from other traditional stream, the former is characterized by real-time, sequ...

During the mid-1960s, the clinical chemistry profession began to take on new substance and new directions as its significance in the general US healthcare system came more prominently into public view. In part, this was precipitated by concern about the at-times unscrupulous and unprofessional conduct of certain laboratories in their treatment of human specimens obtained as part of the diagnost...

In PNAS, a report by Ingalhalikar et al. (1) has the makings of a landmark paper. Here I would like to briefly suggest why. Biomedical research in general, and neuroscience in particular, has been built on a false assumption. I refer to the assumption that one may safely ignore potential sex influences, for essentially every domain outside sexual functions and sex-specific issues like prostate ...

Information integration plays an important role in academic settings since it provides a comprehensive view of educations and enables managers to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of education processes. However, the diversity and huge amount of information available in different academic sources overwhelms the education administrators and debilitates decision makings. This paper proposes ...
