in this paper we continue development of formal theory of a special class offuzzy logics, called eq-logics. unlike fuzzy logics being extensions of themtl-logic in which the basic connective is implication, the basic connective ineq-logics is equivalence. therefore, a new algebra of truth values calledeq-algebra was developed. this is a lower semilattice with top element endowed with two binary...

Neonates positive for immunoreactive trypsinogen assay (IRT) and negative for sweat test have formerly been found to carry the major cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation, delta F508, much more frequently than the general population. Among the 716 IRT positive newborns detected by a three tier (IRT, mutation analysis plus meconium lactase assay, sweat test) CF screening programme in north eastern Italy...

cystic fibrosis (cf) is the most common inherited disorder in caucasian populations, with over 1400 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) mutations. the type of mutations and their distributions varies widely between different countries and/or ethnic groups. seventy iranian cystic fibrosis patients were screened for the cftr gene mutation using arms/pcr (amplification refra...

This paper consider the   general  forms of $(alpha,beta)$-fuzzyleft ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interior ideals) of an orderedsemigroup, where$alpha,betain{in_{gamma},q_{delta},in_{gamma}wedgeq_{delta}, in_{gamma}vee q_{delta}}$ and $alphaneqin_{gamma}wedge q_{delta}$. Special attention is paid to$(in_{gamma},ivq)$-left ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interiorideals) and some related  pr...

As special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. Geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. Constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. Minab delta in Hormozgan Province of Iran is a round or crescent-s...

background : an elevation in the mean percentages of the gamma delta t lymphocytes per total t cells in the epithelium of the small intestine has a diagnostic value for celiac disease.  this study aimed to measure the percentages of the peripheral blood gamma delta t lymphocytes in the adults' celiac disease and healthy controls. materials and methods: in this case-control study the absolute nu...

OBJECTIVES An increasing percentage of cystic fibrosis (CF) diagnoses are occurring in adulthood. The purpose of this study was to explore how age at diagnosis may be associated with selected disease and sociodemographic characteristics. DESIGN The 1996 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) Patient Registry data were analyzed to test for associations between age at diagnosis and selected variables...
