CFD to Quantify Idealized Intra-Aneurysmal Blood Flow in Response to Regular and Flow Diverter Stent Treatment
Cerebral aneurysms are pathological dilatations of the vessels supplying the brain. They carry a certain risk of rupture, which in turn, results in a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Flow diverters (FDs) are high-density meshed stents which are implanted in the vessel segment harboring an intracranial aneurysm to cover the entrance of the aneurysm, thus reducing the blood flow into the aneurysm, promoting thrombosis formation and stable occlusion, which prevents rupture or growth of the aneurysm. In the present study, the blood flow in an idealized aneurysm, treated with an FD stent and a regular stent (RS), were modeled and analyzed considering their design, surface area porosity, and flow reduction to investigate the quantitative and qualitative effect of the stent on intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics. CFD simulations were conducted before and after treatment. Significant reductions were observed for most hemodynamic variables with the use of stents, during both the peak systolic and late diastolic cardiac cycles. FD reduces the intra-aneurysmal wall shear stress (WSS), inflow, and aneurysmal flow velocity, and increases the turnover time when compared to the RS;therefore, the possibility of aneurysm thrombotic occlusion is likely to increase, reducing the risk of rupture in cerebral aneurysms

Multi-objective integer programming: An improved recursive algorithm
This paper introduces an improved recursive algorithm to generate the set of
all nondominated objective vectors for the Multi-Objective Integer Programming
(MOIP) problem. We significantly improve the earlier recursive algorithm of
\"Ozlen and Azizo\u{g}lu by using the set of already solved subproblems and
their solutions to avoid solving a large number of IPs. A numerical example is
presented to explain the workings of the algorithm, and we conduct a series of
computational experiments to show the savings that can be obtained. As our
experiments show, the improvement becomes more significant as the problems grow
larger in terms of the number of objectives.Comment: 11 pages, 6 tables; v2: added more details and a computational stud
Accounting education and quality dimensions: A field research in TurkeyMuhasebe eğitimi ve kalite boyutları: Türkiye alan araştırması
Rules, regulations and operating characteristics regarding the accounting information system which they use during the life work are transferred to the individuals with the conception of lifelong learning in the accounting education. In this way, individuals acquires sufficient accounting information in their professional careers and professional exams. No doubt, the success is directly related to personal competencies of individuals and the quality of education received. The quality of accounting education is concerned with the level of realization of the expectations from the individuals who take or took accounting education. This study focuses on education quality dimensions referring to accounting education. The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature on the quality of accounting education by examining periodicals on the scope and quality of accounting education made in Turkey. In studies conducted in Turkey, it is investigated that the expectations of students and businesses from accounting education and the quality dimensions held by the universities such as the number of lecturers, course duration, and physical facilities.

Optimising a nonlinear utility function in multi-objective integer programming
In this paper we develop an algorithm to optimise a nonlinear utility
function of multiple objectives over the integer efficient set. Our approach is
based on identifying and updating bounds on the individual objectives as well
as the optimal utility value. This is done using already known solutions,
linear programming relaxations, utility function inversion, and integer
programming. We develop a general optimisation algorithm for use with k
objectives, and we illustrate our approach using a tri-objective integer
programming problem.Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables; v3: minor revisions, to appear in Journal of

An interactive algorithm for resource allocation with balance concerns

Portfolio decision analysis with a generalized balance approach
International audienceWe consider a resource allocation problem in which the decision maker is responsible for selecting a group of projects to generate a portfolio, with the aim of maximizing the total benefit, and distributing the budget in a balanced way across different categories. We assume that the decision maker defines an interval for the desired share of each category. We propose augmented -constraint method to generate the nondominated solutions considering two objective functions: total benefit and balance among categories. The solution time increases with the problem size, and augmented -constraint method fails to find all nondominated solutions. We therefore develop a variable neighborhood search algorithm for the purpose of generating the nondominated frontier. Our computational experiments show that the nondominated frontier can be accurately estimated with respect to different performance measures
