Given a ®nite set of alternatives A, the sorting (or assignment) problem consists in the assignment of each alternative to one of the pre-de®ned categories. In this paper, we are interested in multiple criteria sorting problems and, more precisely, in the existing method ELECTRE TRI. This method requires the elicitation of preferential parameters (weights, thresholds, category limits,. . .) in ...

Abstract We report on a new method to derive the on‐orbit electron density using Tri Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio‐occultation (Tri‐GNSS Radio occultation (TGRS)) differential total content data and compare it Constellation Observing for Meteorology Ionosphere Climate‐2 Ion Velocity Meter (IVM) ion data. found that IVM is about 8%–15% lower than TGRS derived at insertion orbit...

background: as for human trichomoniasis the host-parasite relationship is very complex, and the broad ranges of clinical symptoms are unlikely be attributable to a single pathogenic mechanism. specific random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers of 490 bp, 720 bp and 460 bp using the primers tv-5, opa-6 and opa-11, respectively, were reported. this was the first description of possible ge­n...

The Brr2 helicase provides the key remodeling activity for spliceosome catalytic activation, during which it disrupts the U4/U6 di-snRNP (small nuclear RNA protein), and its activity has to be tightly regulated. Brr2 exhibits an unusual architecture, including an ∼ 500-residue N-terminal region, whose functions and molecular mechanisms are presently unknown, followed by a tandem array of struct...

A novel fully decoupled micro inertial measurement unit (MIMU) is presented in this paper. The proposed MIMU structure, mostly focusing on the gyroscope unit, is highly symmetrical and can be limited to an area of 10,000 μm × 10,000 μm. Both the tri-axis gyroscope and tri-axis accelerometer structures are fabricated on the same single silicon chip, which can differentially detect three axes’ an...

the feasibility of extractive reaction of methacrylic acid from aqueous solution using a quaternary amine, tri–octyl methyl ammonium chloride (tomac) as an extractant, was studied. the diluents chosen in the present work belong to different chemical classes, n–butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, isoamyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. the effect of initial acid concentration in t...

Optimal solutions of interior point algorithms for linear and quadratic programming and linear complementarity problems provide maximal complementary solutions. Maximal complementary solutions can be characterized by optimal (tri)partitions. On the other hand, the solutions provided by simplex{based pivot algorithms are given in terms of complementary bases. A basis identi cation algorithm is a...

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of transradial primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by comparing the procedural results and complications with those of transfemoral intervention. From April 1997 to October 2004, we enrolled 352 consecutive cases of STEMI who underwent primary PCI. The femoral route was used in 132 case...

Trichloroethylene (Tri) caused modest cytotoxicity in freshly isolated human proximal tubular (hPT) cells, as assessed by significant decreases in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity after 1 h of exposure to 500 microM Tri. Oxidative metabolism of Tri by cytochrome P-450 to form chloral hydrate (CH) was only detectable in kidney microsomes from one patient out of four tested and was not detect...

In this paper, we introduce a new function called tri-ĝ continuous in tri-topological spaces. A map f : X → Y is if f-1(V) closed for each tri-closed set V Y. Also define, quasi tri-ĝ. perfectly tri-ĝ, contra totally and strongly maps are introduced some of their properties studied.
