Portfolio selection process is a subject focused by many researchers. Various criteria involved in this process have undergone alterations over time, necessitating the use of appropriate investment decision support tools. An optimization approach used in different sciences is using meta-heuristic algorithms. In the present study, using Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA), a model was introduced for sel...

A study of the DUPIC (Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel In CANDU) cycle was made to analyze cycle performance relative to that of PWR and CANDU fuel cycles in terms of uranium utilization and spent fuel production efficiency. The DUPIC cycle was found to be most efficient in terms of minimizing spent fuel production as well as most efficient (within limits) in terms of maximizing natural uranium uti...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of patients with various anatomical forms hard palate for complete denture fabrication and to compare mean distortion in heat cure base polymer millimetres different forms. METHODOLOGY: Informed consent was taken from total seventy six divided into low medium Dental casts were prepared alginate impression poured type III stone reference point R marked on de...

results two major themes were extracted from the analysis of the transcripts: “comprehensive caring commitment” and “patients’ medication grudge”. conclusions according to the findings, the nurses are in a unique position to care for people with ms; therefore they should be ready to provide high-quality patient care in ms patients. patients must be encouraged to study about their condition and ...

The Hamiltonian cycle problem in digraph is mapped into a matching cover bipartite graph. Based on this mapping, it is proved that determining existence a Hamiltonian cycle in graph is O(n). Abstract. Hamiltonian Cycle, Z-mapping graph, complexity, decision, matching covered, optimization Hamiltonian Cycle, Z-mapping graph, complexity, decision, matching covered, optimization

An optimal electrode position and interventricular (VV) delay in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves its success. However, the precise quantification of cardiac dyssynchrony and magnitude of resynchronization achieved by biventricular (BiV) pacing therapy with mechanical optimization strategies based on computational models remain scant. The maximum circumferential uniformity ratio...
