[ABSTRACT] Some argue that God’s omnipotence and moral perfection prevent God from being afraid and having evil desires and thus from understanding such states—which contradicts God’s omniscience. But, I argue, God could acquire such understanding indirectly, either by (i) perceiving the mental states of imperfect creatures, (ii) imaginatively combining the components of mental states with whic...

The raw Complete Blood Count (CBC) or Full Blood Count (FBC) data from an Automated Blood Cell Counter are collected and transformed in to a Preprocessed and Flattened data using the preprocessing phases of the Knowledge Discovery in Databases. The data is classified into child and adult data sets. The transformed data is used to create clusters of the database in this paper. The K-Means algori...

Promising discoveries about the lifesaving attributes of umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells have led to the emergence of public and private cord blood banks throughout Canada. UCB cells are currently used in the treatment of a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases and for research purposes. There is also much talk of their potential use for the treatment of a broad range of degener...

The effect of dietary Terbutaline, a beta adrenergic agonist, on carcass characteristics and blood attributes in 288 Japanese quails was studied from 21 through 49 days of age. Dietary treatments included four levels of Terbutaline [0 (T0), 1 (T1), 3 (T3), and 5 (T5) mg/Kg of the diet]. Quails were bled at the end of the trial for biochemical assays and the carcass characteristics were then mea...

The correlation between the performance of attributes and the overallsatisfaction such as they are perceived by the customers is often used tocalculate the importance of attributes in the crisp case. Recently, the methodwas extended, based on the standard Zadeh extension principle, to the fuzzycase, taking into account the specificity of the human thinking. Thedifficulties of calculation are im...

Background: Hyperspectral image analysis is a fast and non-destructive technique that is being used to measure quality attributes of food products. This research investigated the feasibility of predicting internal quality attributes, such as Total Soluble Solids (TSS), pH, Titratable Acidity (TA), and maturity index (TSS/TA); and external quality attributes such as color components (L*, a*, b*)...
