Rabies is an acute viral disease that causes encephalitis and is universally fatal. The rabies virus is distributed worldwide, such that this disease constitutes an important public health problem. Prevention and control programs that involve the mass vaccination of domestic animals and the development of diagnostic laboratory methods with high sensitivity and specificity have been organised (R...

as a result of rule of law ideal, judges are required to act in accordance with laws. the ideal is justified by some political values: political liberty, legal liberty , personal liberty and equality. citizens are subject only to the law not to the arbitrary will or judgment of another who wields coercive government power. but in some cases law is indeterminate. in these cases there is an impor...

This paper aims at proposing a framework for modelling the safety of an engineering system with various types of uncertainties using a fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FURBER) approach. In the framework, parameters used to define the safety level, including failure rate, failure consequence severity and failure consequence probability, are described using fuzzy linguistic variables; a fuz...

A framework for modelling the safety of an engineering system using a fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FURBER) approach has been recently proposed, where a fuzzy rule-base designed on the basis of a belief structure (called a belief rule base) forms a basis in the inference mechanism of FURBER. However, it is difficult to accurately determine the parameters of a fuzzy belief rule base (FB...

In this paper we propose a method for computing the Faddeeva function $w(z) := {e}^{-z^2}{erfc}(-{i}\,z)$ via truncated modified trapezoidal rule approximations to integrals on real line. Our s...
