Recently, Zhao et al. [Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making (2007) 6, 279-295] characterized the interarrival times as fuzzy random variables and presented a fuzzy random elementary renewal theorem on the limit value of the expected renewal rate of the process in the fuzzy random renewal process. They also depicted both the interarrival times and rewards are depicted as fuzzy random variables...

This editorial explains how JEI is a Phoenix rising, welcomes readers and future authors describes the content of issue.

In this paper, we construct fuzzy renewal processes involving fuzzy random variables. We first extend the renewal processes to the fuzzy renewal processes where interarrival times, rewards, and stopping times are all fuzzy random variables. According to these fuzzy renewal processes, we then extend some theorems of renewal processes to those in fuzzy renewal processes. These are elementary rene...

Stem cells are characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple adult cell types. Although substantial progress has been made over the last decade in understanding stem cell biology, recent technological advances in molecular and systems biology may hold the key to unraveling the mystery behind stem cell self-renewal and plasticity. The most notable of these advances...
