 Nonlinear MUSA is an extension of MUSA, which employs a derived approach to analyze customer satisfaction and its determinants. It is a preference disaggregation approach, widely welcomed by scholars since 2002, following the principles of ordinal regression analysis. N-MUSA as a goal programing model, evaluates the level of satisfaction among some groups including customers, employees, etcete...

In-vitro proliferation of Musa balbisiana improves with increased vitamin concentration and dark culturingSsekiwoko F, Talengera D, Kiggundu A., Namutebi M.K, Karamura E, Kunert K

musa is one of the novel techniques in csa, which lays its foundation on linear goal programming, developed for overcoming prior csa models’ weaknesses such as coping with ordinal nature of data and low fitness. employing a simple questionnaire, musa develops the interval scale and the level of satisfaction as well as determining its determinants in addition to several fruitful indices. this pa...

Musa paracoccinea is published as a new species. Two imperfectly known species, M. nagensium and M. sanguinea are accepted. Musa lushanensis, M. luteola and M. dechangensis are reduced as synonyms of M. basjoo. It is pointed out here that M. wilsonii and M. rubra used in the Chinese literature such as Fl. Reipubl. Popularis Sin. and Fl. Yunnan. are in fact misidentifications of M. itinerans and...

Phenylphenalenones, polycyclic aromatic natural products from some monocotyledonous plants, are known as phytoalexins in banana (Musa spp.). In this study, (1) H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics along with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to explore the chemical responses of the susceptible 'Williams' and the resistant 'Khai Thong Ruang' Musa varieties to...

BACKGROUND Cultivated bananas and plantains are giant herbaceous plants within the genus Musa. They are both sterile and parthenocarpic so the fruit develops without seed. The cultivated hybrids and species are mostly triploid (2n = 3x = 33; a few are diploid or tetraploid), and most have been propagated from mutants found in the wild. With a production of 100 million tons annually, banana is a...

We are considering the problem of measuring and analyzing customer satisfaction concerning a product or a service evaluated on multiple criteria. The proposed methodology generalizes the MUSA (MUlticriteria Satisfaction Analysis) method. MUSA is a preference disaggregation method that, following the principle of ordinal regression analysis, finds an additive utility function representing both t...

The d evelopment effort for interactive Web applications is continuously increasing, because multiple clients with widely varying user interface (UI) capabilities have to be supported. In addition, personalization features render the task more complex. The MUSA (Multiple User Interfaces, Single Application) system addresses that issue by decoupling the application logic from the UI logic. The a...
