In practice, there are many problems which decision parameters are fuzzy numbers, and some kind of this problems are formulated as either possibilitic programming or multi-objective programming methods. In this paper, we consider a multi-objective programming problem with fuzzy data in constraints and introduce a new approach for solving these problems base on a combination of the multi-objecti...

Rabbits were immunized with p-azobenzene arsonic acid derivatives of human serum albumin (HA-As) or of dissociated keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The IgM response to the hapten was evaluated in terms of the number of hapten-specific plaque-forming cells in the lymph node draining the injection site. In some experiments, antibody was measured by agglutination of tanned and sensitized erythrocytes. T...

in mammals, the intrauterine condition has an important role in the development of fetal physiological systems in later life. suboptimal maternal environment can alter the regulatory pathways that determine the normal development of the fetus in utero, which in post-natal life may render the individual more susceptible to cardiovascular or metabolic adult-life diseases. changes in the intrauter...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a derivative of a fatty acid linoleic acid (LA), has been reported to decrease tumorigenesis in animals. CLA is unique because unlike most antioxidants which are components of plant products, it is present in food from animal sources such as dairy foods and meats. CLA concentrations in dairy products typically range from 2.9 to 8.92 mg/g fat of which the 9-cis, 1...

the fuzzy linear regression model with fuzzy input-output data andcrisp coefficients is studied in this paper. a linear programmingmodel based on goal programming is proposed to calculate theregression coefficients. in contrast with most of the previous works, theproposed model takes into account the centers of fuzzy data as animportant feature as well as their spreads in the procedure ofconstr...

mathematical modeling of supply chain operations has proven to be one of the most complex tasks in the field of operations management and operations research. despite the abundance of several modeling proposals in the literature; for vast majority of them, no effective universal application is conceived. this issue renders the proposed mathematical models inapplicable due largely to the fact th...

PURPOSE This white paper addresses a burning question related to investment promotion and trade promotion synergies: Are Trade Promotion Organizations and Investment Promotion Agencies merging? In order to better understand Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and if their services and goals present similarities with Trade Promotion Organizations (TPOs), this whitepaper identifies the four majo...

Although some areas of clinical health care are becoming adept at implementing continuous quality improvement (CQI) projects, there has been limited experimentation of CQI in health promotion. In this study, we examined the impact of a CQI intervention on health promotion in four Australian Indigenous primary health care centers. Our study objectives were to (a) describe the scope and quality o...

regarding the need for scientific development and achievement our national goals, it is clear that international cooperation has the main role in this way. here is a report on what we have done during past almost 10 years (2001-2011) in the field of international medical research activities in deputy ministry for research & technology, ministry of health, iran. our effort was focused to identif...
