India's nuclear power program is based on indigenous materials and technology, with the potential for providing energy security for many centuries. This paper examines the technical validity of this plan, specifically the role of breeder reactors for extending the domestic uranium supplies. Our study shows breeding is unlikely to occur at anywhere near the rates envisioned, leading to a slow gr...

This study aims to determine the activities and performance of extension workers based on perceptions farmer groups in Makali District, Polman Regency. type research is descriptive research, namely that describes phenomenon variables without testing hypothesis. The location population partners group, totaling 60 groups. A purposive sample assessment which all heads were used as samples represen...

In an editorial entitled "PI Blood Group, Pigeon Antigens, and Respiratory Disease" in the December 1976 issue (Chest 70:694, 1976), I suggested that individuals without the P, antigen (P, blood phenotype) may have a greater risk of respiratory disease and that this hypothesis should be tested among individuals selected for respiratory disease, rather than for handling of birds. In their reply ...

High successful applications of soft computing and fuzzy logic can be found in engineering disciplines. Current research is done for computational subject, e. g. computing with words, or computing with colors, which is one of the new ideas for the processing of color information. The main fact of this approach is the adequate representation of color and its linguistic description. This approach...

Linguistic variables are reviewed and some aspects of the original definition revisited, showing that they provide a first formal frame to do computing with words in a “narrow sense”. A two-levels hierarchy of languages is discussed in order to move to simple cases of computing with words in natural language, supported by linguistic variables.
