Petrobas P-36 was a floating offshore production unit operating in the Roncador Field, off the coast of Brazil, commencing operations May 2000. This structure was originally designed as a floating drilling unit and was modified...
Earth was moderately cooler last year, but not by much. 2017, additionally, was a year of record-breaking disasters for the United States. These disasters included devastating California wildfires, a trio of hurricanes, hail...
Taking the one-year-old T. chinensis (Tamarix chinensis Lour.) in Yellow River Delta as the study object, the variations of C, N and P stoichiometry in T. chinensis under drought stress was studied using pot experiments. The...
Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is directly relevant to green hydrogen production from water splitting. Recently, a low-cost Ni5P4 material has been demonstrated experimentally and theoretically to...
In this article, the author categorises the solid transportation problem (STP) under uncertain environments. He formulates the mixed and fully intuitionistic fuzzy solid transportation problems (FIFSTPs) and utilizes the...
Daniel Mayer, leadership educator and researcher into the epistemology of biology, has long reflected on the nature of organization, both of organisms and of organizations. This is the topic of his recently completed PhD...

NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool that is commonly used to assess the degradation of lithium-ion battery electrolyte solutions. However, dissolution of paramagnetic Ni2+ and Mn2+ ions from cathode...
AbstractWeak gravitational lensing by the intervening large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe is the leading non-linear effect on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave...
Rotavirus genotypes are species specific. However, interspecies transmission is reported to result in the emergence of new genotypes. A cross-sectional study of 242 households with 281 cattle, 418 goats, 438 pigs, and 258 humans...
The purpose of the study is to examine the influence of hedonic and utilitarian motivation on Indian consumer's online purchase intention. Second, this study tried to explore if social media mediates the influence of hedonic and...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RDP) is increasingly used as an alternative to laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer but comparative multicenter studies...
The authors tested the use of tablets to collect breast cancer risk data and compared the approach against paper-based scantrons. The goal was to examine the usability of digital technology for data collection in underserved...
INTRODUCTION: There are no formal guidelines for whether CT-guided or fluoroscopy-guided TFESI should be undertaken for patients with symptoms of lumbar nerve root irritation and corresponding nerve impingement. Here, we sought...
Diabetes, caused by the rise in level of glucose in blood, has many latest devices to identify from blood samples. Diabetes, when unnoticed, may bring many serious diseases like heart attack, kidney disease. In this way, there...
Aim: This study assessed, if use of herbal medicine (HM) among hypertensive patients is coincidence or planned. Design: Cross‐sectional survey. Methods: The study used a cross‐sectional survey for collection of data from four...
A new MCDM model based on a triangular intuitionistic fuzzy (TIF) aggregating and ranking model is proposed for the evaluation of adhesive materials used in joining fibre-reinforced plastic. The new model which uses the...
In the guise of artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic/evolutionary computation algorithms (GAs/ECAs), fuzzy logic (FL) inference systems (FLIS) and their variants as well as combinations, the computational intelligence (CI)...
NBME subject examinations are used by many Canadian medical schools to evaluate students during their clerkship rotations. Although studies show strong correlations between NBME scores and the American licensing examination...
This article analyzes an infinite buffer discrete-time single server queueing system with variant working vacations in which customers arrive according to a geometric process. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server...
