Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been criticized considerably for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. While in many cases this is a perfectly valid phenomenon, there are also many cases where ranks should be preserved. Our findings indicate that using the geometric mean reduces the variance in ratings substantially; hence, yielding lower i...

Nonequilibrium quantum states can be controlled via the driving field in periodically driven systems. Such control, which is called Floquet engineering, has opened various phenomena, such as light-induced anomalous Hall effect. There are expected to some essential differences between and spin effects of systems because difference time-reversal symmetry. However, these remain unclear due lack en...

We report the structural and electron transport properties of a series of compounds where A /B-site substituted Ni-deficient La Ni0.6Fe0.3 O3 compounds with A=Ag+, Pb2+, Nd3+ and B=Mn3+, Ga3+ have been synthesized by a chemical route. Electrical resistivity was used as an indicator to explore the response of La Ni0.6Fe0.3 O3 for different A /B-site substitutions. The rationalized explanation fo...

UNLABELLED ADAPTSITE is a program package for detecting natural selection at single amino acid sites, using a multiple alignment of protein-coding sequences for a given phylogenetic tree. The program infers ancestral codons at all interior nodes, and computes the total numbers of synonymous (c(S)) and nonsynonymous (c(N)) substitutions as well as the average numbers of synonymous (s(S)) and non...
