the present study was undertaken to investigate the role of banana extract (be) on synchronous plantlet formation from seeds of dendrobium lituiflorum lindl. the seedlings formed on modified knudson c (kc) medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) be had significantly high fresh and dry weights. morphologically uniform plantlets with elongated leaves and well developed roots were formed on kc medium w...

This study investigated the role of ability and trait emotional intelligence (EI), fluid intelligence, and personality traits in career decision-making self-efficacy, career indecision and indecisiveness. The Advanced Progressive Matrices, Big Five Questionnaire, Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test, Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Inventory, Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire...

We focus on fuzzy random multiobjective linear programming problems with variance covariance matrices, and propose a fuzzy decision making method to obtain a satisfactory solution. In the proposed method, it is assumed that the decision maker has fuzzy goals for both permissible levels and the corresponding objective functions for a probability maximization model or a fractile optimization mode...

In this paper, we propose an iterative soft decision decoding scheme for Reed Solomon codes with near maximum likelihood performance. The advantage of this decoding algorithm over previously proposed algorithms is its fast convergence in terms of the number of iterations required. This is achieved by combining two powerful soft decision decoding techniques which were previously regarded in the ...

While considering processes of decision making we often encounter the problem of incomplete information. In group decision making (GDM) problems each decision maker is supposed to provide a matrix that describes his/her preferences over the set of given options. However, we have to take into account that an expert can not be able to define his/her preferences about all the options. Usually the ...

Linear diffusion layer is an important part of lightweight block ciphers and hash functions. This paper presents an efficient class of lightweight 4x4 MDS matrices such that the implementation cost of them and their corresponding inverses are equal. The main target of the paper is hardware oriented cryptographic primitives and the implementation cost is measured in terms of the required number ...

in this paper, an algorithm is presented for the formation of optimal null basis vectors corresponding to sparse flexibility matrices. for controlling the independence of the vectors, a generator is selected in each corresponding self-equilibrating systems, and the sequence of generators is modeled as decision variables. since the equilibrium conditions and uniqueness of generators consists a u...

In electrophysiological experiments on visual pattern discrimination, decision difficulty was manipulated either via the physical characteristics of the test stimuli, or by changing the instruction given to the observer. Visual stimuli were rectangular matrices each composed of 100 Gabor patches having different orientations. Matrices differed in the number of Gabor patches with vertical, or ho...
