Relatively independent evaluation parameters are selected from many through pedigree clustering.Learning the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) and entropy weight method can determine weight, at same time to understand error of is large, so combination subjective objective obtained by two methods, using improved weight-ahp weight. The calculation has a clear hierarchical structure, which not only...

OBJECTIVE To determine associations between objective assessments (swallowing function and weight change) and subjective quality-of-life (QOL) measures. DESIGN Observational case series using clinical testing and questionnaires. SETTING University hospital-based tertiary clinical practice. PATIENTS Convenience sample of 5-year survivors of head and neck cancer (62 nonlaryngectomy survivor...

Observational studies suggest that increased fruit and vegetable consumption can contribute to weight maintenance and facilitate weight loss when substituted for other energy dense foods. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of berries on acute appetite and energy intake. Twelve unrestrained pre-menopausal women (age 21 ± 2 y; BMI 26.6 ± 2.6 kg m(-2); body fat 23...

The review focused on outcomes related to obesity an diabetes as affected by sweeteners and included the following keywords: Food Intake, Subjective Appetite, Hedonics/Reward, Body Weight, Energy Glucose, Metabolism/Adiposity Markers.

Recommendations on backpack loading advice restricting the load to 10% of body weight and carrying the load high on the spine. The effects of increasing load (0%-5%-10%-15% of body weight) and changing the placement of the load on the spine, thoracic vs. lumbar placement, during standing and gait were analysed in 20 college-aged students by studying physiological, biomechanical and subjective d...

Three hand-grenade design factors, namely shape (ball, oval, can), diameter (55, 60, and 65 mm) and weight (300, 400, and 500 g), were assessed. The objective criteria were (1) throwing distance from the grenade stop point to throwing point, and (2) error distance from the grenade stop point to the target. The subjective criteria were (3) the overall rating of handling (to hold and control) pro...

Dependability of software, a major concern in many computer applications, can be improved through several means. But systematic approaches for its evaluation do not exist, which is the prerequisite for dependability control and improvement. Software dependability evaluation is an urgent problem to be solved. There is some subjectivity about weighting coefficient when applying fuzzy comprehensiv...

As a follow-up to a previous assessment of complications of sleep-disturbed breathing in 265 patients, we have reevaluated measures of sleepiness and hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (n = 518), central sleep apnea (n = 50), and subclinical sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) (n = 107). Both subjective and objective (multiple sleep latency test [MSLT]) measures indicated ...

The production task queue has a great significance for manufacturing resource allocation and scheduling decision. Man-made qualitative queue optimization method has a poor effect and makes the application difficult. A production task queue optimization method is proposed based on multi-attribute evaluation. According to the task attributes, the hierarchical multi-attribute model is established ...
