Users are often interested in answers to vaguely defined questions that. are nat,ural for human but. inconvenient for the machine. The traditional query languages manage binary queries only. In t,his paper we suggest how to construct fuzzy queries t,hat apply to random data. We reach our goal by combining fuzzy query wit,h a suitable stat.ist.ica1 test. for fuzzy hypotheses.

Given two cellu lar automata rules represented as operato rs Q and X, together with certain nat ural restrictions on their neighborhood st ruct ures , an algor ithm is provided which yields two other rules, A and R, such that Q = AX +R. A generalized arithmetic of residues follows from this.

n 1987 the International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) evaluated radon and its decay products as human carcinogens (1). Large epidemiologic studies conducted in Western Europe in the Õ90s showed that this radioactive gas accounted for 50 to 90% of a radiological dose (2). Very high residential concentrations of radon were measured in Sweden and Finland (3-5). They were 5,000 times higher...
