Supply chain requirements and challenges in recent years have made managers to explore new methods in dealing with supply chain management (SCM) problems. Methods with high flexibility which can adapt plans to real conditions help one to make a decision at the right time. In the SCM, distribution and allocation problems are of enormous significance and due to their applications in the cross-fun...

This paper describes the design objectives and presents an overview of the design for the IBM S/390T CMOS Cryptographic Coprocessor, also known as the S/390 cryptographic module (SCM). The SCM is fully compatible with the earlier S/390 cryptographic module, ICRF (Integrated Cryptographic Facility), and has been certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the highest level...

This article continues the development of the basic terminology for the SCM as defined in [11,12,18]. There is developed of the terminology for discussing static properties of instructions (i.e. not related to execution), for data locations, instruction locations, as well as for states and partial states of SCM. The main contribution of the article consists in characterizing SCM computations st...

Mitochondrial dysfunctions contribute to neurodegeneration, the locations of which vary among neurodegenerative diseases. To begin to understand what mechanisms may underlie higher vulnerability of the spinal cord motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, compared with brain mitochondria, we studied three major functions of rat brain mitochondria (BM) and spinal cord mitochondria (SCM) mi...

Breastfeeding is unquestionably the best nourishment for infants. Current epidemiological as well as experimental evidence has repeatedly demonstrated the nutritional, immunological, and psychosocial benefits attributable to breastfeeding. However, suboptimal breast health may compromise maternal ability to breastfeed and the well-being of breastfeeding infants. Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is an...

This paper describes an ultra high performance OpenSource Software Configuration Management (SCM) system for Cadence DFII 4.4 based on the Perforce Fast SCM System.

The early age shrinkage is responsible for the early age cracking of concrete. It is very critical for durability of concrete. The change in volume of concrete due to evaporation of water or dehydration process is known as shrinkage. To reduce the early age shrinkage utilized the supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete. In present research industrial and agricultural waste byprodu...

slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. accurate prediction of the factor of safety (fos) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. in this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of fos. three anfis models were implemented including g...
