Concerning the information asymmetry, subjectivity and other problems in the prediction of port customer credit risk level, a port customer credit risk evaluation system was designed, which provided the quantification base for port customer credit risk prediction. External-internal information fusion model was proposed for port customer credit risk prediction. Customers’ internal history inform...

abstract background peripheral blood vessels, due to availability are used for many years in cancer patients, however in patients with potentially harmful drugs to skin (vesicant drugs) or difficult accessibility to vessels, the use of implantable port (totally implantable venous access port-tivap)devices with central vascular access are important.  materials and methods in this retrospective s...

When the service region of ports overlap, consignors’ selecting behaviors for shipping ports become homogeneous to commuters’ choosing behaviors on trips. The commuters’ travel behaviors can be described through a probabilistic model in transportation planning. In this study, we adopt the transportation probabilistic forecast model to forecast port throughput. First, we amend the model with a p...

Scanning of ports on a computer occurs frequently on the Internet. An attacker performs port scans of IP addresses to find vulnerable hosts to compromise. However, it is also useful for system administrators and other network defenders to detect port scans as possible preliminaries to more serious attacks. It is a very difficult task to recognize instances of malicious port scanning. In general...

Makran subduction zone, along the southern coasts of Iran and Pakistan, has a wide potential seismogenic zone may be capable generating large magnitude (M ~ 9) tsunamigenic earthquakes. Considering ambiguities exist in source characterization for megathrusts like Makran, where detailed geologic, seismic, geodetic data are insufficient, probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) is most preval...

Extraction of coupling of modes (COM) parameters from the manufacturing process of a surface acoustic wave device (SAW) is important in practice. In this study, we employed an inverse algorithm to recover the COM parameters from the measured admittance of a one-port SAW resonator. For completeness, the COM equations, the P-matrix representation and the related COM parameters have been summarize...

BACKGROUND Radical cystectomy (RC) with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancers. However, the locoregional recurrence rate is still significantly higher for locally advanced cases post-RC. The underuse of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in such cases after RC is related mainly to a lack of proven survival benefit. Here we are reporting...

introduction tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large amount of water which is generated by underwater earthquake, volcano, landslide or other disturbances below water. the makran subduction zone (msz) is one of the regions that have potential to generate tsunami which also has been occurred in 1985 and is capable of another one. in msz, the coasts of chabahar ba...
