Objective: To study plants purification capability of  Cu on two cultivars of vetch plant (Vigna Radiata) in contaminated soils and their effects on morphological characteristics. Methods: we conducted a completely randomized trial as factorial. Different concentrations of  Cu (0, 150, 300, and 400 mg/ Kg of dried soil) were used. After four weeks growth on contaminated soil, parameters such as...

aggregation operators (aos) have been studied by many schol- ars. as many aos are proposed, there is still lacking approach to classify the categories of ao, and to select the appropriate ao within the ao candidates. in this research, each ao can be regarded as a cognitive style or individual dierence. a cognitive style and aggregation operator (csao) model is pro- posed to analyze the mapping ...

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data aggregation schemes have been extensively investigated in order to reduce energy and bandwidth consumptions. In this paper, we propose an application-aware data aggregation (AADA) scheme, which applies different aggregation policies adaptively, depending on the types of packets (i.e. real-time (RT) and non real-time (NRT) packets). Specifically, NRT pack...

The uncertainty of decision making problems means that the assessments may be provided by means of continuous intervals. The importance weighted continuous ordered weighted averaging operator has been developed in the case that the values in an interval have associated importance weights. In order to provide better properties of the importance weighted aggregation method, we propose the importa...

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making MAGDM problems, in which the attribute weights take the form of real numbers, and the attribute values take the form of fuzzy linguistic scale variables, a decision analysis approach is proposed. In this paper, we develop a new fuzzy linguistic induce OWA FLIOWA operator and analyze the properties of it by utilizing some operational laws ...

Background & Aims: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-β plaques in the brain. Although several studies have been done for finding effective medicines in the treatment of this disease, a drug that inhibits amyloid β aggregation and ameliorates the disorder has not been approved so far. One important therapeutic approach is use...

Data aggregation plays an important role to improve the transmission efficiency in wireless body area networks (WBANs); however, it inherently induces additional aggregation delay. Therefore, the effect of packet aggregation on WBAN applications, which are vulnerable to delay, must be analyzed rigorously. In this paper, we analyze the packet aggregation delay for multisource sensor data with an...
