A modified analytical hierarchy process (M-AHP) approach for decision support systems in natural hazard assessments
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013)
The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a classic and powerful decision support tool. However, the conventional AHP has some disadvantages originating in the expert decision-making process. To minimize the disadvantages ...

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2013)
In this study, octreotide (OCT), a synthetic sonnatostatin analog, was tested for its beneficial effects in the prevention of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) induced by bleomycin (BLM) in rats by histological examination ...
Effects on caregiver burden of education related to home care in patients undergoing hemodialysis
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
Caring for a patient undergoing hemodialysis is highly stressful and can negatively affect a caregiver's physical and psychological well-being. This study was conducted to examine the effect of educational support concerning ...
Anomalous top-gluon couplings in gamma p collision at the CERN-LHC
(EPL ASSOCIATION, EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY, 2013)
We have investigated anomalous chromomagnetic and chromoelectric dipole moments of the top quark via top pair production in a gamma p collision at the LHC. We obtain 95% CL bounds on the anomalous couplings with various ...
Effect of an intense laser field on the holes in graded quantum wells
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2013)
The potential profile and the energy levels of the heavy holes (hh) and light holes (lh) in graded quantum wells under an intense laser field are theoretically calculated within the framework of the effective mass ...
