Abstract The Weighted Influence Nonlinear Measurement System (WINGS) method originates from DEMATEL, which has the advantage of analyzing interweaved determinants and causal relationships within them. innovation is mainly reflected in considering both strength influencing factors themselves relationship their mutual influence. To address problems ambiguity assessing information uncertainty judg...

In 1993 Ruskey and Savage conjectured that in the d-dimensional hypercube, every matching M can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle. Fink verified this for every perfect matching M , remarkably even if M contains external edges. We prove that this property also holds for sparse spanning regular subgraphs of the cubes: for every d ≥ 7 and every k, where 7 ≤ k ≤ d, the d-dimensional hypercube cont...

We study the problem of maximizing minimal value over sphere $$S^{d-1}\subset {\mathbb {R}}^d$$ potential generated by a configuration $$d+1$$ points on $$S^{d-1}$$ (the maximal discrete polarization problem). The interact via given function f Euclidean distance squared, where $$f:[0,4]\rightarrow (-\infty ,\infty ]$$ is continuous (in extended sense), decreasing [0, 4], and finite convex (0, w...

The limit equilibrium method (LEM) has been a main-stay of analysis for geotechnical engineers for decades. Applied typically in a 2-D plane strain condition the method has been extended in formulation to the method of columns in 3-D and is now gaining increased use in industry. The formulation of the 3-D method of columns has typically been presented in Cartesian coordinates and with the assum...

Thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazoles are valuable materials for a range of technical and biological applications. They used as chemosensors, electroluminescent materials, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), in solar cells, live-cell imaging, etc., those applications π-extended thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole derivatives particularly attractive. A convenient synthetic route to non-symmetrical thiazolo[5,4-d]thia...

Improving food quality is one the major issues for the food processing industry. Since food produced from fish spoils quickly, it obviously cannot be kept for an extended time. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of sodium polyphosphate and smoking on the shelf life of fish sausage that was produced from Capoeta umbla and stored at 4±1°C. Therefore, we designed four groups...
