This article aims to present with more details, the multicriteria decision aid SAPEVO-M-NC (Simple Aggregation of Preferences Expressed by Ordinal Vectors - Non-Compensatory Multi Decision Makers). It is a new version SAPEVO-M method, an ordinal, non-compensatory nature and possibility acting multiple makers. As result, method provides information on partial weights, indicating relative importa...

nephrocalcinosis is defined as calcium deposition in the renal interstitium. one of the major causes of neonatal nephrocalcinosis is the use of calcium and phosphor supplements for premature neonates. this study aims at assessing the effects of calcium and phosphor supplementation in neonatal nephrocalcinosis by renal ultrasonography. in this randomized controlled trial, 37 premature neonates w...

In this paper, in order to study the relationship among different converters, a novel concept—modular high step-up converter—is proposed, which is composed of one basic converter, Nc cell (Nc-SUC), and M-source passive lossless clamped circuit (PLCC). means number capacitors represents PLCC. Nc-SUCs many voltage lift cells (VLCs) constant (CVLCs) are proposed their general gain formula deduced....

We recently reported that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) carrying PTAP and LYPX(n)L L domains ceased budding when the nucleocapsid (NC) domain was mutated, suggesting a role for NC in HIV-1 release. Here we investigated whether NC involvement in virus release is a property specific to HIV-1 or a general requirement of retroviruses. Specifically, we examined a possible role for NC i...

We construct the complete set of positive parity pentaquarks, which correspond in the quark model to s̄qNc+1 states with one unit of orbital angular momentum L = 1. In the large Nc limit they fall into the K = 1/2 and K = 3/2 irreps (towers) of the contracted SU(4)c symmetry. We derive predictions for the mass spectrum and the axial couplings of these states at leading order in 1/Nc. The strong ...

A technique is presented by which NC and RNC algorithms for some problems can be extended into NC and RNC algorithms, respectively, that solve more general parametric problems. The technique is demonstrated on explicit bounded degree circuits. Applications include parametric extensions of the shortest-path and spanning-tree problems and, in particular, the minimum-ratio-cycle problem, showing a...
