A New Hendecagonal Fuzzy Number For Optimization Problems
No full textA new fuzzy number called Hendecagonal fuzzy number and its membership function is introduced, which is used to represent the uncertainty with eleven points. The fuzzy numbers with ten ordinates exists in literature. The aim of this paper is to define Hendecagonal fuzzy number and its arithmetic operations. Also a direct approach is proposed to solve fuzzy assignment problem FAP and fuzzy travelling salesman FTSP in which the cost and distance are represented by Hendecagonal fuzzy numbers. Numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method and the Hendecagonal fuzzy number M. Revathi | Dr. M. Valliathal | R. Saravanan | Dr. K.

Artemis simulations were run using the development branch of artemis https://github.com/ECP-WarpX/artemis
Some simulations in this paper were performed with different commit hashes of artemis and amrex, however, the input files should still work with the most recent development branch of artemis.
In the attached tar file, the input files, data, and scripts used to analyse simulation results shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the paper are provided. To run the simulations on perlmutter GPUs, the code is compiled with USE_GPU=TRUE and USE_LLG=FALS

No full textFactors associated with prehospital delay in patients with acute stroke in South India
No full textBackground: Early hospital presentation is critical in the management of acute ischemic stroke. The effectiveness of stroke treatment is highly dependent on the amount of time lapsed between onset of symptoms and treatment. This study was aimed to identify the factors associated with prehospital delay in patients with acute stroke. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Sri Ramachandra University Hospital, India. A total of 210 patients hospitalized in the stroke unit were included. Patients' data were obtained by interviewing the patient and/or accompanying family member and by reviewing their medical records using a standard questionnaire. Associations were determined between prehospital delay (≥4.5 h) and variables of interest by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: The prehospital delay was observed in 154 patients (73.3%) and the median prehospital delay was 11.30 h. The following are the factors significantly (P < 0.05) attributed for the delay in presenting to the hospital: contextual factors like using public transport (bus), taxi, time of onset of symptoms, 7 pm–3 am; family history of stroke, perceived cognitive and behavioral factors like, wishing or praying for the symptoms to subside on its own, hesitation to travel due to long distance, delay in arranging transport, and arranging money for admission and wasting time by shopping for general practitioners, nursing homes, and hospitals. The presence of stroke symptom, headache, significantly decreased the prehospital delay. Conclusions: Prehospital delay is high in South India and influenced by clinical, contextual, and cognitive/behavioral factors

Hijra’s Customs As Elucidated In A.Revathi’s The Truth About Me
No full text This article entitled “Hijra’s Customs As Elucidated In A.Revathi’s‘The Truth About Me’””attempts to highlight the habitual practises (customs) of the hijra community.
Hijra is a term, used to refer a person whose birth sex is male but later identified to be female (trans-women). They usually live in well-defined and organised communities led by a guru. The author, A.Revathi is a Bengaluru-based, trans-woman, writer and activist whose debut book was in Tamil, Unarvum Uruvamum (2004). Following this, Revathi decided to write her own experiences and published her second book, The Truth about Me: A Hijra Life Story (2010). This book is a courageous and touching autobiography of a hijra where the author records the customs of their hijra community, giving special attention to the post-nirvaanam customs strictly practised for 40 days after castration.  
Urban Asymmetries Ciudad Juarez, Mexico: Designing A Transferium ...... A point of Exchange
No full textThe MSc. graduation project dealt with understanding the implications of Neo liberal policies on the city of Juarez which lies on the US - Mexico border. In 2009 Ciudad Juarez was rated as “the most violent zone in the world outside of declared war zones” due to high crime rates, femisides, homicides, corruption, drug trafficking and multiple other problems. The city is also presently facing massive exodus and the abandoning of large portions of its housing stock due to the increase in violence and a prevailing low intensity war between the state and the drug cartels. The reasons for this asymmetrical development are multiple and point towards a complex mesh of forces that transgress the scope of the built environment. They encompass entangled dimensions of political economy and socio-economic developments, which eventually affect the built environment. With this background a six month intense research was carried out and a counter proposal group strategy was proposed on a prototype site Riberas Del bravo and eventually an Urban & architectural intervention was designed. Thus as part of my graduation project I designed a collective transport system comprising of three design elements the Transferium hub, the bus stops and the routes on the prototype site. The core design idea dealt with developing a time based concept, that allowed hybridization of the programme and hence catered to both peak and anti-peak hour differently. Firstly a strong east west axis was developed to regulate and accentuate the flow of people along the canal & public promenade proposed as part of the group strategy. These east west axis were flanged by three pavilions serving the Transferium and Community center on the two edges and a multipurpose market space at the center. The central multipurpose market space manifested itself further as Hawking zone courtyard, Mobile Market courtyard and Permanent Market. During the peak hour the Transferium expanded into the central multipurpose space and during the anti-peak hour the community market/activities expanded into the multipurpose space. Thus depending on the flow of vehicles the central multipurpose space grew or condensed in size catering to different activities.Urban AsymmetriesDelft School of DesignArchitectur
INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL (1C) AND PROPENSITY TO MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS (M&A) IN THE INDIAN PHARMACEUTICALS AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
No full textThis study is intended to analyse the various Intellectual Capital(IC) components and other firm specific factors which determines the M&A decision of a firm in the Indian pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Binary logistic regression is used for testing the various Intellectual Capital components such as Human Capital(HC), Structural capital (SC) and Customer capital(CC) and firm characteristics like Firm size, Leverage and Return on Asset on propensity to M&A in these high tech industries. The result shows that IC elements, namely, HC, SC, and CC are the strong determinant of M&A propensity in the pharmaceuticals and chemicals industry in India. In the pharmaceutical industry, the companies which are having less HC (labour intensity) and high SC( R&D and patent ) and strong CC( Marketing & distribution Intensity) are more tend to go for M&A. And acquirers in the pharmaceutical industry are larger in size, and their firm performance also good. In the chemical industry, the companies that have higher HC, higher Innovation Capital and higher CC and less experienced companies have more probability of an acquirer. Similar to pharmaceutical acquirers, these acquirers are also larger in size, and they have better firm performance
