In helping consumers to make a wise decision in purchasing a personal computer (PC), the use of multi-criteria decision analysis methods is a way to provide ranking of the attributes of PCs and to construct the computer preference index (CPI).This paper employs the Rank Ordered Centroid (ROC) method to do the ranking.The findings reveal that the mo

Despite the potential benefits of sequential designs, studies evaluating treatments or experimental manipulations in preclinical experimental biomedicine almost exclusively use classical block designs.Our aim with this article is to bring the existing methodology of group sequential designs to the attention of researchers in the preclinical field a

Bacterial immune systems, such as CRISPR-Cas or restriction-modification (R-M) systems, affect bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance by modulating horizontal gene flow.A model system for CRISPR-Cas regulation, the Type I-E system from Escherichia coli, is silent under standard laboratory conditions and experimentally observing the dynam

Multispectral and hyperspectral image fusion (MHF) aims to reconstruct high-resolution hyperspectral images by fusing spatial and spectral information.Unlike the traditional canonical polyadic decomposition and Tucker decomposition models, the block-term tensor decomposition model is able to improve the quality of fused images using known endmember
