In WSN, data aggregation is an important process for reducing the energy consumption. We can reduce energy consumption by using the efficient technique for data aggregation. Also, achieving the reliability and robustness of transferring data is one of the major issues and challenges. in order to produce both reliability and energy efficiency, in this paper we propose to design a Mobile Sink for...

Background and Objectives: Recently, the use of probiotics for the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections has become more popular. The use of probiotics in therapy is useful as only a few side effects such as destruction of resistant bacteria or disturbance of the intestinal microbiota have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the probiotic effects of lactic acid bacteria by co-a...

In this paper, aggregation behaviors of aqueous solutions of short chain hydrophilic Ionic Liquids (ILs), 1 – allyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl), 1 - ethyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([Emim]Cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4) were investigated using conductivity and laser ...

In our present investigation, a series of novel 4-methoxy-1,3-benzenediolyl-hydrazones were designed and synthesized, and their ability to inhibit platelet aggregation was evaluated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid (AA). The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data. Results demonstrated that the activities of all compounds excelled the positive d...

Aloe vera plant (A. vulgari and A. barbadensis) has being used traditionally as a medicinal plant for centuries. Gel from the inner central zone of the leaves and latex from pericyclic cells are used for medicinal purposes. The present study was conducted to elucidate the beneficial effects of Aloe vera juice on the platelet aggregation in cerebral microvessels of mice. Male mice were injected ...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...

Several fuzzy connectives, including those proposed by Lotfi Zadeh, can be seen as linear extensions of the Boolean connectives from the scale ${0,1}$ into the scale $[0,1]$. We discuss these extensions, in particular, we focus on the dualities arising from the Boolean dualities. These dualities allow to transfer the results from some particular class of extended Boolean functions, e.g., from c...

recent technological improvements have extended the application range of dielectric permittivity biomass measurements to on-line monitoring of physiological changes during bacterial fermentations. in an industrial fermentation of bacillus thuringiensis, it is important to verify the intactness of bacterial plasmid content in all steps of culture. changes in certain plasmid resident properties o...

sensor networks generally consist of a very great number of sensor nodes which will be spread into a vast environment and aggregate data out of it. the sensor nodes are afflicted with some limitations as follows memory, reception, communication as well as calculation capability, and battery power. the transmission of a great amount of extra data increases data transmission and proportionally in...
