Bacteria are tiny living things that like to attach to surfaces. Most bacteria are harmless, but if the harmful bacteria get into the human body where they do not belong, they can cause an infection. Infections make the human body very sick. Most infections with bacteria can be cured by antibiotics, but not infections caused by biofilms! Biofilms are communities of bacteria living together and ...

The core objective of the integrated curriculum of compulsory education is to “enable students to demonstrate their network-talents instead of just scoring high on independent exams.” The key to determining education reform strategies in the e-era is to establish network-competence indicators for educational behavior in primary schools. We propose a MCDM means for evaluating, comparing and impr...

The grey theory mainly works on systems analysis with poor, incomplete or uncertain messages. The popular grey model, GM(1,1) is efficient for long-term port throughput forecasting. However, it is imperfect when the throughput increases in the curve with S type or the increment of throughput is in the saturation stage. In this case, the throughput forecasting error of grey system model will bec...

Authors explored grey-matter density in 29 methamphetamine abusers and 20 healthy comparison subjects using voxel-based morphometry. Grey-matter density changes and performances on the Wisconsin Card Sorting test (WCST) were also compared between 11 short-term (<6 months) and 18 long-term (>or=6 months) abstinent methamphetamine abusers. Methamphetamine abusers had lower grey-matter density in ...

International incoming grey traffic is currently one of the most important issues for both the Regulator and legal telecommunication operators in Pakistan. The major reason for higher grey traffic in Pakistan is because of international settlement rates which are higher than the cost of domestic termination rate. The grey traffic operators gain financial advantage by offering low international ...

Abstract: Aimed at the situation that the plan attribute value is a three-parameter interval grey number and that attribute weight is uncertain, a three-parameter interval grey number multi-attribute decision making method based on information entropy is proposed. In this study, we combine the three-parameter interval grey number decision-making problem with information entropy, build the dista...

The problem for selection of appropriate assets investing composition projects such as assets rationalization plays an important role in promotion of business systems. We consider the assets investing composition plan problems subject to grey multi objective programming with the grey inequality constraints. In this paper, we show in detail the entire process of the application from modeling the...

Grey theory [1] has been proposed over 30 years. Great endeavor has been devoted to increase the forecasting precision. One of methods treated the forecasting error to become the modified grey forecasting model. Hsu and Wen [2] modified original GM (1,1) models are improved by using residual modifications with Markov chain sign estimations. Hsu and Chen [3] improved grey GM (1,1) model, using a...

It has always been an important research objective to improve prediction accuracy with limited data. The Grey Model is a typical example in forecasting industrial water c onsumption with a small amount of data. As to the basic grey forecasting models, the prediction accuracy can still be improved. So this paper proposed an improved new information and equal dimensional grey model. The industria...
