Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deploy an export dependency index identify the sectors and countries in Latin America which are most exposed fluctuations Chinese demand. Bilateral trade between China has grown very quickly past decade. As a consequence, economic relationships with intensified tremendously, as growing demand for resources drove into relatively unexplored frontiers. Design/methodology/approach Index measures relative exposure American exporters shifts from scaled 0 1...
Chinese official statistics may be distorted by the presence of stop-over destinations such as Hong Kong and offshore centers in Caribbean. In this paper we recalculate these flows a way which accounts for distortions, estimating actual magnitude distribution China's ODI stocks based on weighted averages. Our estimates show that 2013 have been overstated due to round-tripping, dislodging previously held assumptions country is close becoming net exporter FDI. Furthermore, more diversified...

Background To evaluate disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with symptomatic esophageal achalasia before and after therapy. Methods Symptoms HRQoL were evaluated 3 months Therapy selection, either dilatation or myotomy, depended exclusively on the opinion physician charge patient. Symptom severity was graded from 0 to 3, using a scoring system. A questionnaire for developed validated Spanish language 18 items four subscales (AE-18) used HRQoL. Changes therapy...
Introduction When solving multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems using a search algorithm without priori information, the result is Pareto front. Selecting solution from it laborious task if number of solutions to be analyzed large. This would benefit systematic approach that facilitates analysis, comparison and selection or group based on preferences decision makers. In last decade, research development algorithms for has been growing steadily. contrast, efforts in posteriori...
Background & Aims Individuals at risk of (H1N1) influenza A infection are recommended to receive vaccination. Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients receiving treatment might be a higher respiratory bacterial infections after infection. However, there no observational studies evaluating the immunogenicity, tolerance and acceptance 2009 vaccine in CHC patients. Methods We evaluated immunogenicity (Pandemrix®) by using hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titers method well defined cohort or not...
En este trabajo se analizó la fiabilidad de un Sistema Distribución Potencia Media Tensión (SDMT) con aplicación del Dispositivo Seccionamiento/Protección (SP). La solución más satisfactoria obtuvo a través metaheurística X-PSO extensión al dominio difuso. principal contribución fue simplificación índice denominado Costo Intrínseco (IC) y el análisis los criterios coste dispositivo energía no suministrada. El IC permite obtener valoración económica cada uno optimizar basa en cláusula...

Requirement prioritization in Software Engineering is the activity that helps to select and order for requirements be implemented each software development process iteration. Thus, requirement assists decision-making during iteration management. This work presents a method considers many experts' opinions on multiple decision criteria provided using fuzzy linguistic labels, tool allows capturing imprecision of judgment. These are then aggregated aggregation operator MLIOWA considering...
