A COMPARISON OF GENETIC ALGORITHM AND ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY APPROACHES IN SOLVING BLOCKING HYBRID FLOWSHOP SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH SEQUENCE DEPENDENT SETUP/CHANGEOVER TIMES

In manufacturing process where efficiency is crucial in order to remain competitive, flowshop is a common configuration in which machines are arranged in series and products are produced through the stages one by one.In certain production processes, the machines are frequently configured in the way that each production stage may contain multiple pr

Uncontrolled immune responses resulting from overactivated cellular signaling pathways, leading to inflammation and tissue injury, are a major cause of death in pathogen-infected individuals.This phenomenon has been well studied in mammals but is less explored in invertebrates.Bacteria of the genus Vibrio are among the most harmful pathogens to hum

ABSTRACT Objectives The International Methodology Consortium for Coded Health Information (IMECCHI), an international collaboration of health services researchers, launched the IMECCHI-DATANETWORK initiative in October 2015.Its main objective is to enable replication of observational studies across countries through a distributed data infrastructur

BACKGROUND:Toxic Shock Cyclist Accessories - Triathlon - Accessories Syndrome (TSS) is characterized by fever, rash, hypotension, constitutional symptoms, and multi-organ involvement and is caused by Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins such as Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB).SEB binds to the MHC-IIalpha chain and is recognized by the TCRbeta chai

The aim of this study was to develop a 16S-23S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid internal transcribed spacer (ITS) quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for TV the early diagnosis and rapid screening of brucellosis.Blood, milk, and tissue samples were spiked with B.abortus biovar 1 (B01988-18 strain) to determine the analytical sensitiv
