vital decisions made at the strategic level in an organization are not only intricate but also costly to alter. it is therefore important to find a comprehensive approach to deal with such a possibility. one of the major problems of a common balanced scorecard (bsc)-based model in strategic management is lack of a ranking system for strategic objectives in order to enable prioritization of the ...

This paper presents the design of a secure and fault-tolerant CORBA datastore based on the Fragmentation-Redundancy-Scattering (FRS) technique. This technique consists in fragmenting the con dential data and scattering the resulting fragments across several archives. The FRS-Datastore service interacts with the other CORBA services, in particular with the Persistence, Security and Trading servi...

Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is an experimental technique for direct measurements of short-lived exotic nuclei which has been developed at the FRS-ESR facility at GSI [1]. A bottleneck for the present IMS experiments is the low transmission in the injection channel of the ESR [2]. Further losses occur due to possible an ionoptical mismatch between the FRS [3] and the ESR. Here the result...

Background and Aim: Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) sets in following interactivity of fungi with Sino nasal tract when immune system is subdued. Due to varied clinical presentation of FRS with inconclusive evidence of imaging, mycological evaluation helps to identify and speciate the fungi .FRS can be diagnosed with biopsy tissue and/or deep nasal swabs. This study was undertaken to know risk fact...

Cloud computing, often referred to as simply the cloud, appears as an emerging computing paradigm which promises to radically change the way computer applications and services are constructed, delivered, managed and finally guaranteed as dynamic computing environments for end users. The cloud is the delivery of on-demand computing resources everything from applications to data centers over the ...

Online social networks have attracted millions of users to integrate their daily life into these social media. As an important e-activity, the Friend Recommendation System (FRS) has been designed to help the users exploring new friends with common interests. However, most existing FRS are using simple methods, such as mutual friends, location-based information etc. This paper proposes a hybrid ...

In the isochronous ion-optical mode of a storage ring the revolution time of circulating ions is independent of their velocity, and depends on their mass-over-charge ratio only. This mode is the basis for the Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS). This experimental technique for direct mass measurements of a large variety of short-lived exotic nuclei has been developed at the FRS-ESR facility at ...

The purpose of this study is to build up mathematical models to age specific marital fertility rates (ASM FRs) and forward cumulative ASM FRs of Bangladesh. For this, the secondary data of ASMFRs have been taken from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS). It is observed that ASMFRs follows quadratic polynomial model in 1996 and one degree polynomial model i. e. simple linear regressio...

OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that specific psychotic symptom clusters may be explained by patterns of biological abnormalities. The presence of first rank symptoms (FRS) has been associated with cognitive abnormalities, e.g., deficits in self-monitoring or in the experience of agency, suggesting that a specific network of neural abnormalities might underlie FRS. Here, we investigate differen...

Aging is accompanied by considerable heterogeneity with possible co-expression of differentiation pathways. The present study investigates the interplay between crucial myogenic, adipogenic, and Wnt-related genes orchestrating aged myogenic progenitor differentiation (AMPD) using clonal gene expression profiling in conjunction with Bayesian structure learning (BSL) techniques. The expression of...
