data envelopment analysis (dea) has been long employed as a popular methodology to evaluate the performance of various production activities with multiple inputs and outputs. however, an important issue is that the production process in the real world inevitably generates undesirable outputs (like wastes and pollutants) along with desirable outputs. therefore, the undesirable outputs should be ...

background: a combination of teaching modalities instead of a single method may enhance learning. the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating e-learning modules into the syllabi of clinical contents from different clinical majors at different levels. methods: a total of 108 undergraduate students enrolled from various clinical majors, and participated via u...

in the present study, the potential of a bacterial consortium of enterobacter cloacae and pseudomonas sp. (ercppi-2) for microbial enhanced oil recovery was investigated. various mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery (eor) as a result of using ercppi-2 and its metabolic products were studied in detail. the obtained results showed that under simulated reservoir conditions, interfacial tension redu...

abstract background: determination of transgenic embryos from non transgenic embryos sibling is an important step in producing homozygous transgenic mice. these steps need by pcr or southern blotting followed extraction of dna, but both techniques require skill and consume time. objective: the aim of this study was simulation of high accuracy method using novel enhanced green fluorescent protei...

A rule importance measure is used to evaluate how important are the rules which characterize a data set. This measure was designed based on association rules and it has been proven to be effective to enumerate the most important rules of all rules generated. However, since rule importance is an objective measure, its usage as a rule interestingness measure relies on the interpretation of domain...
