PURPOSE L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in human muscle and plays an important role in protein synthesis and can reduce the levels of inflammation biomarkers and creatine kinase (CK) after training sessions. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) develops after intense exercise and is associated with an inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effe...

In the field of strategic marketing, recency, frequency and monetary (RFM) variables model has been applied for years to determine how solid a database is in terms spending customer activity. Retailers almost never obtain data related their customers beyond purchase history, if they do, information often out date. This work presents new method, based on fuzzy linguistic 2-tuple definition produ...

Gasification systems, such as coal-based integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) systems for power generation and byproduct recovery, are complex technologies. Process simulators, such as ASPEN, have typically been used to evaluate the performance, emissions, and costs of these technologies. Process simulation models are sufficiently large that they can only be executed on workstations or...

Customer feedback is used to understand customer requirements. Early design phases require the consideration of items including manufacturing, the environment, and sustainability management. Therefore, it is crucial that eco-efficiency is taken into account in the early design phases. Traditionally, eco-efficiency is considered only in terms of eco-design issues, not customer requirements based...

BACKGROUND Long-term success of endodontic surgeries is often influenced by the type of root-end filling material (RFM). The aim of present study was to compare the marginal adaptation of two different RFM, cold ceramic (CC) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), using scanning electron microscope (SEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS About 20 extracted human single-rooted teeth were collected and stor...

A fundamental understanding and simulation of fuel atomization, phase transition, mixing are among the topics researchers have struggled with for decades. One reasons this is that accurate, robust, efficient jets remains a challenge. In paper, tabulated multi-component real-fluid model (RFM) proposed to overcome most limitations make simulations affordable. Essentially, fully compressible two-p...

Understanding customer behaviour is crucial for business success. For achieving this goal, the Recency–Frequency–Monetary (RFM) model has been commonly recognised as an effective approach to analyse behaviour. However, traditional RFM a coarse method quantifying loyalty and contribution that can only provide single lump-sum value of recency (R), frequency (F), monetary (M); hence, it discards i...

With the increase of living standards and the sustainable changing patterns of people’s lives, nowadays, hairdressing services have been widely used by people. This paper adopts data mining techniques by combining self-organizing maps (SOM) and K-means methods to apply in RFM (recency, frequency, and monetary) model for a hair salon in Taiwan to segment customers and develop marketing strategie...
