alumina nanomaterials were synthesized via a solution combustion technique using tris-(acetylacetonato) aluminum(iii) complex (1) and tris-(2-formylphenolate) aluminum(iii) complex (2) at 600, and 1000 °c for 3h. the obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. to investigate the phase formation, powder x-ray diffraction technique was use...

Background: Recently, tendency to use veterinary specific Portable blood glucose meter (PBGMs) has increased. However, assessment of their analytical and clinical accuracy is a matter of concern. OBJECTIVES: To assess accuracy of two veterinary (AlphaTRAK2 and CERA-PET) and one human-based (Bionime) PBGMs for canine blood samples. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 160 client-ow...

The Caspian Kutum, Rutilus Kutum (Kamensky 1901) specimens were sampled by purse seine in the northern Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea at four locations:  Feridoonkenar Shahed, Mahmoudabad Khoram, Lariim Azadi fishing coop, and the Shiroud River in Ramsar city. “Back-calculation” is a retrospective method of estimating the characteristics of growth of fish in terms of length and rate of growth...

In this paper, the application of hexagonal fuzzy multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology for site selection electric vehicle charging stations is considered. regard, four factors and thirteen sub-factors have been taken into consideration E-vehicle selection. research, geographic information system (GIS) has incorporated with MCDM techniques. The analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) ...

Some machine part failures have often occurred in areas of components where the strength was lowest, especially at its weld region. Presence voids weldments or joints greatly reduces quality weldment. To prevent these defects, a proper optimum selection process parameters is highly encouraged to achieve an acceptable mechanical property. The Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) method appli...

The integration of environmental concerns into the product design process has highlighted a new problem that arises when confronted with complex systems. Indeed environmental assessment methodologies like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) become in this case particularly heavy to implement. Considering aluminium electrolysis substations as a complex industrial system, we propose a new eco-design meth...

this paper presents a new approach for assessing agricultural landscapes based on mixturemethods and the study and definition of aesthetic attributes as lines, forms, texture, spatial composition, scaleand color as they are the closest to human perceptual aesthetic attributes. a set of variables capable ofquantifying those attributes in a simple, objective and systematized way will be proposed....
