Weanling Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) and salt-resistant (DR) rats were used to compare effects of feeding high or low NaCl diets on taste preference for, and intake of, a wide range of saline concentrations. The DS and DR were fed either 8.0 or 0.4% dietary NaCl for 4 weeks. Then, with all animals fed the 0.4% NaCl diet, their taste preferences for 0.0001 to 0.56 M saline were assessed using three...

The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci biotype B is extremely polyphagous with >600 species of host plants. We hypothesized that previous experience of the whitefly on a given host plant affects their host selection and performance on the plants without previous experience. We investigated the host selection for feeding and oviposition of adults and development and survival of immatures of th...

This paper is devoted to construction of fuzzy preference relations and to showing how this construction is connected with Lukasiewicz filters and TL-evaluators. We will study also extensions of Lukasiewicz filters on subsets of some X 6= ∅ to TL-evaluators on the system (lattice) of fuzzy functions f : X → [0, 1].

In decision making, in order to avoid misleading solutions, the study of consistency when the decision makers express their opinions by means of preference relations becomes a very important aspect in order to avoid misleading solutions. In decision making problems based on fuzzy preference relations the study of consistency is associated with the study of the transitivity property. In this pap...
