Applications of T-spherical fuzzy aczel-alsina power muirhead mean operators in identifying the most effective water purification process for commercial purpose.

One of the key areas of research in ambiguous and inconsistent problems with decision-making is T-spherical multiple-attribute decision making (TP-FMADM). The TP-F number (TP-FN), which is an extension of the fuzzy number, an intuitionistic fuzzy number, and other fuzzy structures, may deal with problems involving a significant amount of incorrect, incomplete, and inconsistent data. Being an extension of various fuzzy structures, the TP-F sets (TP-FSs) provide decision-makers greater freedom to voice their actual opinions and offer a broader range of acceptable membership grades.

Novel truxene-based dipyrromethanes (DPMs): synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and photophysical properties.

For the first time, herein, we report the synthetic part of the truxene-centred mono-, di- and tri-substituted dipyromethanes (DPMs) in good yields (60-80%) along with their preliminary photophysical (absorption, emission and time resolved fluorescence lifetime) properties. The condensation reaction for assembling the required DPMs were catalyzed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 0 °C to room temperature (rt), and the stable dipyrromethanes were purified through silica-gel column chromatography. After successfully synthesizing these easy-to-make yet interesting molecules, they were fully characterized by means of the standard spectroscopic techniques (H NMR, C NMR and HRMS).

-Symmetric Indole-Based Truxenes: Design, Synthesis, and Photophysical Studies.

In recent years, truxenes and related polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have engrossed ample interest of the scientific community because of their ease of synthesis, functionalizations, and use as building blocks for the synthesis of fullerene fragments, liquid crystals, larger polyarenes, and -tripod materials. In the present work, we have disclosed an ingenious method for the construction of various indolo-truxene hybrid molecules in good yields (52-90%), by means of the acid-catalyzed cotrimerization, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and Fischer indole synthesis, and fully characterized them through the standard spectroscopic techniques. The photophysical properties of the thus-prepared compounds have also been investigated using steady-state absorption and fluorescence and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy techniques.

Improving Value in Colorectal Cancer Care: An Economic Analysis of Enhanced Recovery Protocols at a Community Hospital.

Background: Enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) have been shown to improve the outcomes of gastrointestinal cancer care, leading to reduced morbidity of gastrointestinal treatment and reduced delays in systemic therapy. ERP implementation has also previously shown a reduction in length of stay (LOS) without changing the readmission rate; however, the economic cost associated with these measures has not yet been quantified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic costs of ERP implementation for colorectal cancer at a community hospital.
