lipid oxidation has adverse effect on food deterioration and human health. the antioxidant activity of fennel seed extracts (fse) was evaluated by synthetic antioxidant. its oxidative stability was compared in olive oils in concentrations of bha (75 ppm), bht(75 ppm) and  1:1 bha to bht ratio. peroxide (pv), p-anisidine (av) and totox values were evaluated to assess the extent of oil deteriorat...

introduction: saliva as a simple non-invasive method of gaining body fluids has been used to detect the thyroid hormones. a single method for determining these hormones has not been clearly stated in the literature. furthermore, thyroid diseases would affect the salivary glands and may compromise salivary flow. materials and methods: a comprehensive search was conducted using pubmed and medline...

Selecting the most suitable alternative under uncertainty is considered as a critical decision-making problem that affects the success of organizations. In the selection process, there are a number of assessment criteria, considered by a group of decision makers, which often could be established in a multi-level hierarchy structure. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new hierarchical multi...

This paper focuses in the selection of an optimal path pair for cooperative diversity based on cross-layer optimization in multihop wireless ad hoc networks. Cross-layer performance indicators, including power consumption, signal-to-noise ratio, and load variance are optimized using multi-objective optimization (MOO) with Pareto method. Consequently, optimization can be performed simultaneously...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...
