UNLABELLED Inflammation has been associated with atherothrombotic stroke and recently with cardioembolic stroke. Different genetic risk factors have been specifically associated with the subtypes of ischemic stroke (cardioembolic, atherothrombotic, and lacunar). However, there are no studies that have generated genetic risk scores for the different subtypes of ischemic stroke using polymorphism...

The effects of seed source and seed size on germination and field performance were studied in five grasses. Greater seed weights were associated with better germination in Yorkshire fog, cocksfoot and timothy but not significantly so for Chewings fescue and browntop. In cocksfoot, Chewings fescue and timothy, higher seed weights were found in samples collected at altitudes above those generally...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...

background nearly every nation in the world faces shortages of health workers in remote areas. cameroon is no exception to this. the ministry of public health (moph) is currently considering several rural retention strategies to motivate qualified health personnel to practice in remote rural areas.   methods to better calibrate these mechanisms and to develop evidence-based retention strategies...

This paper introduces an eecient le directory structure which provides for parallel retrieval of documents. The directory structure is based on the M-B-T directory structure. The M-B-T directory structure is compatible with current automatic retrieval and query processing techniques. Weights that are assigned to index terms can be included in the directory with the terms at no additional cost. ...

during recent years, determining appropriate strategy in the supply chain has become an important strategic issue. however, the nature of these decisions usually is complex and unstructured. to determine the best supply chain strategy, many quantitative and qualitative attributes such as cost, responsiveness and flexibility can be taken into account. in order to approximate the human subjective...
