Multicriterial ranking approach for evaluating bank branch performance

14 ranking methods based on multiple criteria are suggested for evaluating the performance of the bank branches. The methods are explained via an illustrative example, and some of them are applied to a real-life data for 23 retail bank branches in a large-scale private Turkish commercial bank

Türkiye Makrofungusları İçin İki Yeni Kayıt

Mantar örnekleri 1998 ve 2004 yıllarında İstanbul ve Balıkesir illerinden toplanmıştır. Toplanan örneklerin makroskobik ve mikroskobik özelliklerinden yararlanarak teşhisleri yapılmıştır. Bu makrofunguslar arasından 2 tür Türkiye de ilk kez rapor edilmiştir. Bunlar Chalciporus piperatus (Bull.: Fr.) Bat. ve Russula carminea (Schaeff.) Kühner & Romagn.'dır. Bu türler tanımlanmış ve resmedilmiştir

Acute coronary syndrome mimicked by acute cholecystitis: Case report

PubMed ID: 20796011Various aetiologies have been reported that cause severe trauma segment and T-wave abnormalities that are not related to acute coronary syndromes. However, the reports of transient ECG abnormalities associated with acute cholecystitis are limited in the literature. We describe a 42-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and hypertensive episode that developed dynamic ECG changes mimicking acute coronary syndrome and was diagnosed acute cholecystitis eventually. Emergency physicians should keep in mind dynamic T-wave changes mimicking acute myocardial ischaemia in patients with acute cholecystitis. © 2010 Australasian College for Emergency Medicine and Australasian Society for Emergency Medicine

Characterization of Turkish pine honey according to their geographical origin based on physicochemical parameters and chemometrics

This study was conducted to determine the characteristic properties of Turkish pine honey, which is an important honeydew honey. The geographical classification of the honey was determined by applying carbon isotope, melissopalynological, and physicochemical analyses to 373 samples collected from 47 regions between 2015 and 2017 under controlled conditions. delta C-13 protein-delta(13)Choney, C4%, electrical conductivity, moisture, ash, free acidity, color CIEL* a*b attributes, optical rotation [alpha](20), proline, diastases activities, and sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, and maltose) were used as physicochemical properties. Number of honeydew elements /number of total pollen (NHE/NTP) ratios were studied at melissopalynological analyses. The results showed that all samples exhibited honeydew properties, and that all physicochemical parameters met the criteria set by regulatory standards for honeydew. However, C4% sugar and delta C-13 protein-delta C-13 honey values did not meet the regulatory criteria and exhibited quite wide standard deviations.This project was supported by Turkish Beekeepers Association and Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.Turkish Beekeepers Association; Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestr
