Marques da Silva, Hugo J. R. Almeida et al.A clinical case of co-infection Cladophialophora sp. and Lacazia loboi is described and in a same patient with an 18-year history of verrucous plaques and parakeloidal nodular lesions. A 50-yearold man, a laborer, living in the Anajás city, Para, Brazil (rural Amazon region), was seen at the Evandro Chagas Institute’s ambulatory. Histopathological analysis revealed intense hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,747 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombining ANP and TOPSIS Concepts for Evaluation the Performance of Property-Liability Insurance CompaniesHui-Yin Tsai, Bao-Huey Huang, An Siou WangThis is a significant problem for the property-liability insurance industry. The study first uses Modified Delphi Method to sift influence property-liability insurance effects out norms. Moreover, the evaluation weights are determined using Analytic Network Process (ANP). Finally, the technique for ordering preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) constructs performance evaluation model of property-liability insurance companies in Taiwan. This … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMIXED CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ON A VERTICAL SURFACE IN A POROUS MEDIUM SATURATED BY A NANOFLUID WITH SUCTION OR INJECTIONM. H.M. Yasin, N. M. Arifin, R. Nazar et al.An analysis of the steady mixed convection boundary layer flow past a vertical permeable surface embedded in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is performed in this study. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are obtained using the shooting method. Three types of metallic or nonmetallic nanoparticles, namely Copper (Cu), Alumina (Al2O3) and Titania (TiO2) are considered by using … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 May 2013 · 7,165 accessesView PDF Cite
