Fuzzy logic systems technology, particularly fuzzy control and fuzzy modeling techniques, is one of the most successful practical applications of fuzzy set and logic theory. In the past few years, the trend has been to combine fuzzy logic systems technology with artificial neural network technology to produce so called neural-fuzzy or fuzzy-neural systems. The objective is to take the advantage...

The complete sequence of the 7.07 Mb genome of the biological control agent Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 is now available, providing a new opportunity to advance knowledge of biological control through genomics. P. fluorescen...

Symbiosis may be defined as: “the acquisition and maintenance of one or more organisms by another that results in novel structures and (or) metabolism”. Relationships among symbiotic organisms may change over time and ranges of resources. Other organisms may indirectly facilitate or interfere with these relationships. Interactions among bark beetles and their associated fungi and mites are comp...
