The research scope of grey relational analysis has not been developed in recent years, and the exiting GRA models are all based on three perspectives, including distance perspective, slope perspective, and area perspective. Under this situation, a novel model called grey relational analysis based on angle perspective (GRAAP) was developed in this paper for the first time, and this model can exp...

In recent years, the problem of selecting and evaluating the suppliers in supply chain management has aroused considerable interest in business firms. Owing to the development of information systems, reaching an appropriate decision for adopting discrete methods is a need. The researchers intend to present a new model in this paper as a contributing factor in the grey environment in which the r...

the problems of shortages and quality deterioration of water, have led to an increased interest in the reuse of treated grey water in many parts of the world. this study examined the suitability of locally available materials (beach sand, oyster shells, and charcoal) to treat grey water samples collected weekly from three halls of residence (unity hall, africa hall, and independence hall) on kw...

Homozygous grey and white Karakul lambs die after they have reached weaning age. This is due to a lethal gene causing digestive disturbances. Previous studies revealed that grey and white lambs have large, milk-filled rumens; the phenomenon was attributed to a significant decrease in the number of myenteric ganglia and neurons in the rumen wall. This study was undertaken to determine whether an...

High-quality products are considered as one of the most important practices for achieving success. However, it is really hard to predict and forecast the product quality due to some undetermined parameters. In order to forecast product quality from various aspects, we propose an integrated model of utilizing grey theory and neural network. In this paper, the grey forecasting model for product q...

BACKGROUND Progressive volumetric changes in the brains of people with schizophrenia have been attributed to a number of factors. AIMS To determine whether glutamatergic changes in patients with schizophrenia correlated with grey-matter losses during the first years of illness. METHOD Left anterior cingulate and thalamic glutamatergic metabolite levels and grey-matter volumes were examined ...

Homozygous grey and white Karakul lambs suffer from a lethal genetic factor causing death after weaning. Previous studies revealed large milk-filled rumens in the grey and white lambs which was attributed to a significant decrease in the number of myenteric ganglia and neurons in the rumen wall. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of milk on the epithelial lining of the forestomac...

Homozygous grey Karakul lambs are born with a lethal genetic factor responsible for death at weaning age. When put on a high roughage diet under field conditions they develop distended, thin-walled rumens and sand impacted abomasa. Homozygous white Karakul lambs have a similar factor but survive for a longer period. Black Karakul lambs are not affected. The present study was undertaken to compa...

This paper describes a clinically controlled study on the effectiveness of cimetidine an h2 receptor antagonist for the treatment of melanoma in grey horses. Fifteen grey horses (age range 18 to 27 years) with dermal melanomatosis were divided in three groups. group A served as the control group; groups B and C received cimetidine at two different protocols for 60 days (3.5 mg/kg PO, BID and 7....
