Published: September 2016

In this article, we describe a possible way of assessing the level of the means of communication in children with impaired sight and hearing in the structure of multiple developmental disorders. The method is designed for examination of children with complex and multiple disabilities. It is advisable to use a methodology for assessing the level of language development in children who do not enjoy the expanded verbal or sign language, especially in cases where the surrounding is difficult to assess what treatment and the extent to which the child understands. The proposed character level evaluation procedure, the child can understand, can be used for initial diagnosis, as well as for the dynamic tracking of language development in the learning process. This version of the method may be used with children who have a substantive vision. Addressing age: school-aged children. Stimulus material technique selected on the basis of the model of symbolic stairs (M. Skelly), according to which the first level of symbolization is the real object (the demonstration of an object becomes a permanent sign of the beginning of the corresponding event, such as a cap – a symbol of a walk), and the highest level of symbolization becomes concept language word. It includes 15 real objects, 5 items of clothing, 5 pieces of dishes and 5 educational supplies, pictures of these objects, realistic color images, as well as the outline of the image. In addition, the plates are attached to the printed names of the same things and pictures on their sign symbols. The procedure of conducting the survey and recording results are discribed. Evaluation protocol allows you to determine what level of symbolic notation of items most successful child acts and what is the maximum level of symbolization it is available. Examples of description and analysis of the results are presented.

Published: September 2016

Tuna is the second largest fishery commodity in Indonesia after the shrimp. Since the
high demand and the limited stock of tuna resulted in fraudulent chance. Authentication
is required to meassure consumers regarding the accuracy of its labeling and food
safety. In this study, the authentication was based on protein and DNA barcoding using
cytochrome-b gene (cyt-b) of the mitochondrial DNA as the target of gene. Primer of
cyt b gene was designed based on the tuna species. This study aimed to identify the
authenticity of tuna fresh and its processed products through protein using SDS-PAGE 

and DNA barcoding techniques. The phases of this research were protein electrophoresis
by SDS-PAGE, DNA extraction, PCR amplification, electrophoresis and sequencing.
Samples of fresh fish (Tu1, Tu2, Tu3, Tu4, and Tu5) and processed tuna (canned and
steak) were successfully extracted. Result showed that SDS-PAGE proved the damage of
proteins in the processed tuna, so this method was not appropriate if it is used to identify
the authenticity of tuna. PCR electrophoresis results showed that the samples of tuna,
tuna steak, sushi, meat ball, abon, and caned tuna were successfully amplified in the range
of 500-750 bp except Ka3, which was in line with the target of DNA (620 bp). Resulted
sequences of Tu2, Tu3, Tu4 and Tu5 were identified according the results of morphometric
namely T. albacares, while Tu1 was identified as T. obesus with homology level of 99%.
Processed tunas (steak and canned tuna) were identified as T. albacares, as stated on the
labels.

Published: September 2016

Background: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Datura metel (leaf, seed and fruit) on blood lipid profile of male albino rats.

Methods: Thirty-five albino rats (8 weeks old) weighing between 66g and 84g were purchased and randomly allotted into 7 groups. The normal control (group 1) received normal saline, while groups 2 to 7 received extracts of Datura metel at low (300 mg/kg body weight) and high doses (600 mg/kg body weight). The extracts were administered orally for seven consecutive days, while the animals were sacrificed on the 8th day; blood samples were collected, allowed to stand for fifteen minutes and then centrifuged.  

Results: There was a general decreasing trend in the mean values of low density lipoprotein levels across  the groups, however, group 7 (with lowest value) was found to be significantly lower (p <0.05) than other groups when compared with the normal control. Also, there was a general decreasing trend in the values of high density lipoprotein compared with normal control group, however lowest value was recorded to be 1.35±0.06 mmol/l for group 5. There were no significant differences (p >0.05) in triglyceride levels across the groups, while total cholesterol in groups 5 and 6 had significant differences with values of 2.05±0.06 mmol/l and 2.13±0.10 mmol/l respectively when compared with the normal control.

Conclusions: This study suggests that ethanolic extracts of Datura metel have active ingredients that are capable of improving blood lipid profile and this might be useful in the management of cardiovascular diseases.

Schwanomma arising from mental nerve: a rare entity
Authors: Priya Ratna , Virmani Nitish , Dabholkar J. P.
Published: September 2016

Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are benign tumors of the nerve sheath that are single, well encaspsulated, bening and arise from the perineural schwann cells. They may arise either in central or peripheral nerves. Approximately 25–45% of all schwannomas are present in the head and neck region. The overall incidence of intra-oral schwanommas is 1% with most common site being tongue followed by buccal mucosa and lastly lip and gingival. Here we present a case report of lower lip schwanomma arising from mental nerve. On physical examination, a smooth globular swelling was present in the lower lip on right side, 2 cm × 3 cm in size and of firm, non-tender in character with regular margins. The patient underwent surgery and the lesion was excised intraorally with sublabial incision. Final pathological diagnosis was made as “schwannoma.” The patient has been following up for 6 months and there is no evidence of any recurrence. High index of suspicion is required and Schwannoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in oral cavity bening lesions. The final diagnosis is based on histopathology report and immunohistochemical analysis. The treatment of these tumors is complete resection. The prognosis of such cases is extremely good, without any recurrence.
Recent update in ultrasound contrast agents
Authors: Vohra Poonam , Jasuja Kusum
Published: September 2016

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is the application of ultrasound contrast medium to traditional medical sonography. Ultrasound contrast agents rely on the different ways in which sound waves are reflected from interfaces between substances. This may be the surface of a small air bubble or a more complex structure. Commercially available contrast media are gas-filled microbubbles that are administered intravenously to the systemic circulation. Microbubbles have a high degree of echogenicity (the ability of an object to reflect ultrasound waves). There is a great difference in echogenicity between the gas in the microbubbles and the soft tissue surroundings of the body. Thus, ultrasonic imaging using microbubble contrast agents enhances the ultrasound backscatter, (reflection) of the ultrasound waves, to produce a sonogram with increased contrast due to the high echogenicity difference. CEUS can be used to image blood perfusion in organs, measure blood flow rate in the heart and other organs, and for other applications.

Authors: Munjal Manish , Ghera Bindia
Published: September 2016

Background: Hoarseness is one of the earliest signal of local and systemic disease. It should be emphasized that hoarseness is not a disease in itself but a symptom of disease or disturbance of larynx or laryngeal innervation. The aim of the study was to analyse various causes and conditions associated with hoarseness of voice.

Methods: We studied 150 patients in a prospective randomised study with inclusion criteria of hoarseness of voice, attending otolaryngology outpatient department of Dayanand medical college and hospital, Ludhiana, irrespective of their age, sex and duration of disease. No exclusion criteria were applied. All the routine investigations like Hb, BT, CT, TLC, DLC, urine-for albumin and sugar were carried out in all patients. X-ray chest- PA view and X-Ray soft tissue neck- AP and lateral view were done when required. Larynx was examined by flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy followed by biopsy if suspicious looking area was seen. 4% lignocaine spray was used orally and nasally to provide local anaesthesia.

Results: In the present study of 150 cases 87 were males and 63 were females with M:F ratio of 1.4:1 and age ranged from 10–90 years with majority of cases in 4th and 6th decade of their life. All patients had history of hoarseness of voice with most of patients having duration of disease between one month to one year. On flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy 27% of cases showed normal study, vocal nodule was  most common, seen in 20% of cases, 10% showed vocal cord palsy and 10% had laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. Bilateral lesion (72.6%) predominated overall, with left sided (15.2%) of larynx affected more as compared to right side (12%).

Conclusions: Flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy is an effective alternative for diagnosis of laryngeal lesions and various causes of hoarseness of voice. Vocal nodule has been found as the commonest cause of hoarseness of voice followed by vocal cord palsy and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.

Published: September 2016

Background: Mucosal type of chronic otitis media is a common disease worldwide with 5.2% prevalence in Nepal. Cartilage material is criticized in terms of hearing results due to its thickness. The objective of this study was to compare graft uptake and post-operative hearing of palisade cartilage with temporalis fascia following tympanoplasty.

Methods: A prospective randomized study conducted over 12 months included subjects of chronic otitis media mucosal inactive having dry ear for at least 4 weeks. 76 subjects were enrolled and reviewed on 6th post-operative day, 6th and 12th post-operative week. The graft uptake and post-operative hearing were evaluated. The results were compared within and between the groups.  

Results: The graft uptake on 42nd and 90th post-operative days were comparable with no statistical difference. The difference of mean pre-operative, 42nd and 90th post-operative air bone gaps in palisade cartilage and temporalis fascia were also comparable. The results were statistically significant, showing improvement in hearing after surgery. Closure of air-bone gap within 30 dB was achieved in 71.87% in temporalis fascia and 88.89% in palisade cartilage. The intergroup difference was not statistically significant.

Conclusions: The graft uptake rates and hearing results after palisade cartilage are similar to temporalis fascia.

Published: September 2016

O uso inadequado de doses de herbicidas pode contribuir para que resíduos permaneçam no solo e influenciem a germinação e a emergência de culturas. No presente trabalho teve-se como objetivo avaliar a germinação e o desenvolvimento de plântulas (milho, milheto e sorgo) quando em contato com o herbicida trifluralin. A pesquisa foi organizada em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 3x4, sendo três espécies (milho, sorgo, milheto) e quatro doses (testemunha (água destilada), 1/4, 1/2 e 1x a dose recomendada do herbicida trifluralin), sendo cada uma repetida quatro vezes. Cada repetição foi composta por 50 sementes. Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: teste padrão de germinação, Índice de Velocidade de Germinação (IVG), crescimento de plântulas (comprimento da maior raiz, parte aérea, número de ramificações) e peso seco de plântulas. As médias dos resultados foram submetidas à análise de variância, e, para as causas de variações significativas, foi utilizado o teste Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. A espécie milho foi considerada a mais tolerante aos efeitos do herbicida quando em contato. O produto utilizado, mesmo em sua menor dose, causou fitotoxidade nas espécies estudadas, principalmente no desenvolvimento radicular. O milheto foi a cultura mais sensível ao herbicida.

El Proceso de Promoción de la Esfera Personalista del Trabajador Autónomo: Hacia un Nuevo Modelo de Protección
Authors: Ahumada J. Eduardo López
Published: September 2016

El trabajo autónomo se proyecta sobre aquellos profesionales que ejercen su actividad profesional de forma personal. Ello se corresponde con la idea de empresario individual configurado como una pequeña y mediana empresa (pyme). El objetivo del trabajo es destacar cómo el trabajo autónomo es una fórmula empleada legalmente para fomentar el empleo y permitir una vía de trabajo flexible. Esta nueva regulación no ha descuidado la garantía de la protección integral del trabajador autónomo, aunque todavía cabe mucho margen de mejora. El método de análisis empleado es esencialmente jurídico, apoyándose ciertamente en otros aspectos técnicos relativos a la económica y al impacto social de dicho modelo de trabajo. Legalmente se viene produciendo un proceso de promoción de la esfera personalista del trabajador autónomo y se han reconocido a dichos profesionales gran parte de los derechos profesionales garantizados constitucional y legalmente a los trabajadores asalariados. Y esta interpretación extensiva del ámbito de protección se ha fundamentado en el carácter transversal de dichos derechos, ligados en muchos casos a la condición de ciudadanos y de trabajadores en general, sin referencia expresa a su condición de dependientes o autónomos.

Com o advento da Constituição Federal de 1988, os direitos sociais foram guindados à categoria de autênticos direitos fundamentais. Neste contexto, a fim de concretizar o texto constitucional, foi inserida a seguridade social, englobando a proteção da saúde, previdência e assistência social. A seguridade social enquanto política pública que utiliza método de economia coletiva é instrumento vital para a efetivação da proteção social e da dignidade da pessoa humana, pois representa um mínimo existencial indispensável à sua manutenção. A concretização do sistema de seguridade social esbarra na reserva do possível e na limitação orçamentária do país. No momento da efetivação da seguridade social enquanto política pública tem-se percebido a ocorrência de alguns fenômenos como baixa politização e acentuada judicialização. Na tentativa de discutir este fenômeno propõe-se o tema da concretização da seguridade social como alicerce para a efetivação dos direitos sociais no Brasil. A proposta metodológica é a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para atender a esta inquietação: Esse deslocamento de demandas da seguridade social dos Poderes Legislativo e Executivo, para a solução individual via Poder Judiciário, não compromete a sua efetividade como direito fundamental, tendo em vista tratar-se de direitos sociais que devem ser atendidos a nível coletivo, a partir de escolhas políticas? Entende-se que a concretização da seguridade social via Poder Judiciário pode comprometer a oferta da proteção social a toda a população, o que deve ser objeto de reflexão, tendo em conta o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana.
A Efetividade da Dignidade Humana e a Estigmatização dos Imigrantes e Refugiados

Published: September 2016

O presente artigo tem como objetivo debater alguns fenômenos surgidos principalmente em virtude da globalização e da “aproximação” entre as nações. Esse fato é resultante de questões de ordem global, com as quais os Estados possuem enorme dificuldade em lidar, especialmente o aumento do fluxo migratório de refugiados. Assim, houve uma transformação entre os modelos de políticas estatais, deixando de ser um Estado Social e tornando-se um Estado Penal. Além disso, cria-se um triste paradoxo, dotado de falácias e preconceitos de ordem social, cultural e religiosa, que muitas vezes afrontam a dignidade da pessoa humana em nome do direito à segurança.
Nouvelle méthode rapide de dosage du gaz carbonique dans les vins tranquilles
Authors: Blouin Jacques , Desenne Alain
Published: September 2016

Le dosage du gaz carbonique du vin est possible par déplacement du gaz par acidification et mesure de la variation de conductivité d'un thermistor. L'appareil CORNING 965 D permet un dosage très rapide, reproductible, impersonnel et équivalent à la méthode électrométrique de référence. Sa rentabilité peut apparaître dans les laboratoires effectuant des dosages nombreux et ou urgents.

+++

Carbon dioxide measurement in wine is possible by gas displacement by acidification and measurement of the conductivity of a « thermistor ». The CORNING 965 D apparatus permits a rapid, reproducible, impersonal measurement shown to be equivalent to the electrometric method of reference. It may be worth while in laboratories carrying out numerous and/or urgent measurements.
Intervention du bois de chêne dans l'évolution des vins rouges élevés en barriques
Authors: Pontallier Paul , Salagoïty Marie-Hélène , Ribéreau-Gayon Pascal
Published: September 2016

Une expérimentation complète montre, de manière significative, la supériorité du chêne de l'Allier; le séchage naturel à l'air apporte un caractère boisé vanillé plus fin et plus puissant que celui communiqué par le séchage artificiel à l'étuve. Le chêne du Limousin ne communique pas un caractère boisé aussi intense et aussi agréable; il est moins sensible aux conditions de séchage. Les résultats des examens organoleptiques sont confirmés par le dosage des acides phénols des vins. Le mode de cintrage du fût (au feu ou à la vapeur) et les conditions de son affranchissement (à l'eau froide, à l'eau chaude, à la vapeur) n'ont pas une incidence aussi prépondérante.

+++

A complete analysis shows to a significant degree, the superiority of Allier oak; natural open air drying develops a finer and stronger vanilla wood character than that given by artificial oven drying. Limousin oak doesn't give as intense nor as nice a woody character; it is less sensitive to the drying method. Organoleptic test results are confirmed by phenol acid measurements in wines. The method to form barrels (by flame or steam) and the conditions for soaking out (by cold water, hot water, steam) don't have as preponderant an influence.
Evolution des acides aminés de vins rouges en fonction de la durée de macération
Authors: Bertrand Alain , Médina Bernard , Chevallier Jean-Pierre
Published: September 2016

On étudie l'évolution de la concentration des acides amines de vins rouges (3 cépages) en fonction de la durée de macération. Les analyses sont effectuées par chromatographie en phase gazeuse. Les résultats sont traités par méthodes statistiques : analyse de variance, classification hiérarchique ascendante, analyse factorielle des correspondances.

+++

The influence of the time of skin contact of the must on the concentration of amino acids of red wines (Three cultivars) is studied. The analysis are carried out by gas chromatography. Results are treated by statistical methods : variance analysis, cluster analysis (hierarchical ascendant classification), correspondance factor analysis.
Etude de l'évolution des anthocyanes en fonction de la durée de macération
Authors: Bertrand Alain , Gauthier Myriam , Salagoïty Marie-Hélène
Published: September 2016

La différenciation des vins rosés authentiques des vins blancs colorés en rouge par coupage avec un vin rouge est analytiquement difficile à résoudre. C'est la constitution même du vin, au niveau individuel de chaque substance qui pourra éventuellement nous renseigner. C'est ainsi que nous avons entrepris l'étude des variations des concentrations d'un grand nombre de constituants du vin en fonction de la durée de macération pour différents cépages du Bordelais.
Incidence oenologique du traitement biologique de la vigne par Trichoderma viride a l'egard de la pourriture grise
Authors: Găină B. S. , Lafon-Lafourcade Suzanne , Dubos Bernadette
Published: September 2016

T. viride actif contre B. cinerea et d'autres champignons parasites de la vigne (A. carneus, P. frequentans, P. roqueforti) ne modifie ni la composition du moût ni sa couleur; il ne présente aucune action inhibitrice sur S. cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces et L. oinos. Par son activité polysaccharidase, son développement conduit à des vins plus limpides. A la dégustation, aucune variation significative n'apparaît par rapport aux vins témoins. L'antagonisme de T. viride peut donc être utilisé sans danger pour les caractères des moûts et des vins.

+++

T. viride active against B. cinerea and other parasitic fungi of the vine (A. carrneus, P. frequentans, P. roqueforti) modifies neither the must composition nor its colour : it has no inhibitory influence concerning S. cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces and L. oinos. By the use of its polysaccharidase activity its development gives wines with better limpidity. When tasting no significant variations appear when comparing with reference samples. So the antagonism of T. viride can be used without any danger for the must and wines characters.
Relation entre la composition chimique des vins blancs liquoreux et la qualité de la vendange utilisée : l'indice de surmaturation
Authors: Chauvet Serge , Sudraud P.
Published: September 2016

Les auteurs ont analysé une série de vins liquoreux, élaborés au laboratoire et au chai, provenant d'une vendange dont la qualité était parfaitement définie. Les données les plus significatives, sélectionnées par informatique, leur ont permis d'établir un indice de surmaturation. Cet indice permet de vérifier si un vin répond bien aux exigences des décrets de définition de son appellation.

+++

A serial of sweet wines, prepared in the laboratory and in the cellar using grapes of clearly defined quality is analysed. After a selection of the most significant data using a computer, it is possible to obtain an over-ripening index. This index makes possible to determine wether a wine agree with legal regulations concerning its « appellation d'origine ».
Influence de quelques pratiques culturales sur la qualité des raisins
Authors: Ureta C. F. , Yavar Lucia O.
Published: September 2016

Certains systèmes de conduite de la vigne peuvent aboutir, sur des sols riches, à des rendements considérables mais à des vins de faible qualité. Les auteurs étudient, pour le vignoble chilien, quelques pratiques culturales pouvant améliorer la qualité. L'effeuillage et la diminution de la fumure azotée sont les principaux facteurs augmentant la qualité.

+++

Some of grape vine training systems, upon fertile soils, can induce an important crop yield which lead to wines of low level quality. In that work, some farming methods to increase this quality are studied. The thining out of leaves and the decrease of nitrogen fertilization are the main factors which allow to obtain an increase of wine quality.
Expression quantitative de l'évolution du nombre de boutons floraux et de baies du débourrement à la vendange chez deux cultivars de Vitis vinifera L., le Grenache et le Carignan
Authors: Bernard A. C. , Vergnes A.
Published: September 2016

Les chutes de boutons floraux, nulles jusqu'à la floraison, sont beaucoup plus importantes chez le Grenache (76 pour cent), cultivar reconnu sensible à la coulure et dont les grappes portent un plus grand nombre de fleurs, que chez le Carignan (56 pour cent). Les pertes se situent essentiellement entre le 5e et le 10e jours après l'anthèse chez le Grenache, le 5e et le 15e jours chez le Carignan.

+++

The falling of flower buds (not until blossoming times) is much more important with the Grenache (16 per cent) cultivar that is recognized more for the grapes carried and the greater number of flowers formed than the Carignan (56 per cent) cultivar. This loss occurs essentially between the fifth and tenth days after the « anthèse » with the Grenache variety and between the fifth and fifteenth days with the Carignan variety.
Les sols viticoles formés sur le calcaire à astéries : facteurs naturels et humains
Authors: Canion Odile , Duteau Jacques , Latouche Claude , Seguin Gérard
Published: September 2016

Sur le calcaire à astéries (Stampien) certaines parcelles de Premiers Grands Crus Classés de Saint-Emilion ont été presque entièrement reconstituées par l'homme; des fumures potassiques et phosphatées les ont par la suite fortement enrichies. Les mêmes types d'apports, mais plus limités, se retrouvent dans un Cru Bourgeois Supérieur du Médoc; en revanche on n'observe pas d'apports de terre ni de fumures excessives dans une petite propriété de l'Entre-deux-Mers.

+++

On the asterias chalky soils (Stampien), some parcels of Premiers Grands Crus Classés in the Saint-Emilion area have been nearly entirely reconstituted by human hand; later the levels of potassium and phosphate were increased by fertilization. Some identical but more limited dressings have occured in a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur du Médoc. However, neither excessive dressings nor fertilization have been noticed in the soils of a small vineyard in the Entre-deux- Mers area.
Application de la bioluminescence au dénombrement des microorganismes vivants dans les vins
Authors: Lonvaud-Funel Aline , Joyeux Annick
Published: September 2016

La bioluminescence a été appliquée au dénombrement des microorganismes du vin. Il existe une excellente corrélation avec la numération par comptage des colonies sur boîtes de Petri. La simplicité de la manipulation et la rapidité d'obtention des résultats sont les principaux atouts de cette méthode. Toutefois, des recherches sont encore nécessaires, d'une part, pour différencier les levures et les bactéries et, d'autre part, pour abaisser le seuil de détection.

+++

Bioluminescence was applied to enumerate the microorganisms present in wine. An excellent correlation is obtained by counting colonies grown in Petri dishes. The simplicity of the manipulations and the rapid obtention of results are the principal benefits of this method. Research is still necessary both in the differentiation of yeasts and bacteria and the reduction of the threshold of detection.
Comparaison de différentes densités de plantation et méthodes de culture du sol (non culture et enherbement permanent)
Authors: Remoué Michel , Lemaitre C.
Published: September 2016

Un essai, implanté en 1971, compare plusieurs densités de plantation (2 500 à 5 000 souches par ha) obtenues avec deux écartements entre rangs (1 m - 2,60 m), trois espacements entre les souches (1,10 m - 1,25 m - 1,50 m), pour quatre cépages blancs.

Deux méthodes d'entretien du sol (non culture par désherbage chimique et enherbement permanent à 50 p. 100 de la surface) sont également étudiées.

Dans le contexte écogéopédologique de l'essai, les faibles densités de plantation augmentent significativement la vigueur et le rendement par souche, alors que la qualité de la vendange n'est pas altérée. L'enherbement permanent tout en ne modifiant pas le rendement, diminue la vigueur et l'acidité des moûts.

+++

A field experiment, started in 1971, compares several planting densities of vineyards (2 500 to 5 000 vines by ha) achieved through two row spacements (1.8 m and 2.6 m) and three vine spacings (1.1 m, 1.25 m, 1.5 m) with four white groupe varieties.

Two methods for soil maintenance, are also studied (clean cultivation by chemical weed control and permanent grass cover on 50 per cent of the aera).

For the ecogeopedological context of this experiment, their is significant increasing of the vigour and the yield by wine for low planting densities, whereas the grape quality is not altered. Permanent ground cover lead to decrease the vigour and the must acidity, but not changes the yield.
Les mycorhizes à vésicules et arbuscules chez la vigne
Authors: Schubert Andrea
Published: September 2016

La présence de mycorhizes à vésicules et arbuscules (VA) est très répandue dans les vignobles. Le symbiote fongique peut influencer positivement l'absorption de phosphate et par conséquence la croissance de la plante. Les données expérimentales relevées jusqu'à présent permettent d'envisager l'application artificielle des mycorhizes VA dans quelques domaines de la viticulture.

+++

Vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae are widespread in vineyards. Their structures allow an improved phosphate nutrition and consequently an enhanced growth of the vine, specially in P-deficient soils. Experimental results obtained up to now show the interest in the use of artificially introduced VA mycorrhizae in some areas of viticultural practice.
Evaluation of Cloud Services: A Fuzzy Multicriteria Group Decision Making Method
Authors: Wibowo Santoso , Deng Hepu , Xu Wei
Published: September 2016

This paper formulates the performance evaluation of cloud services as a multicriteria group decision making problem, and presents a fuzzy multicriteria group decision making method for evaluating the performance of cloud services. Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to model the inherent subjectiveness and imprecision of the performance evaluation process. An effective algorithm is developed based on the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution method and the Choquet integral operator for adequately solving the performance evaluation problem. An example is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed fuzzy multicriteria group decision making method for solving the multicriteria group decision making problem in real world situations.
