in a previous work, we introduced particular fuzzy numbers anddiscussed some of their properties. in this paper we use the comparison methodintroduced by dorohonceanu and marin[5] to compare between these fuzzynumbers.

the central issue in strategy formulation and implementation process, or strategy-making, is the identification of environmental forces and the preparation of a plan of action to deal with them. this necessitates scanning the environment for gathering information. environmental scanning should enable the firm to identify these forces. doing this not only calls for information gathering, but als...

Background This study was undertaken to investigate the efficiency of two different embryo somatic cell co-culture conditions tissue culture medium 199 (TCM199)–vero cells and Menezo B2 (B2)-vero cells for the in vitro developmental quantity and quality of bovine embryos. MaterialsAndMethods Bovine oocytes were allowed to mature and subsequently undergo fertilization in vitro. Their presumptive...

The Zarankiewicz number z(b; s) is the maximum size of a subgraph of Kb,b which does not contain Ks,s as a subgraph. The two-color bipartite Ramsey number b(s, t) is the smallest integer b such that any coloring of the edges of Kb,b with two colors contains a Ks,s in the rst color or a Kt,t in the second color.In this work, we design and exploit a computational method for bounding and computing...

background: the basis of spermatogenesis is the spermatogonial stem cells (sscs). the concentration of sscs is very small. however, a system that supports the proliferation and maintenance of sscs in vitro could be used to preserve and expand sscs numbers as well as increase success in transplantation. it is a new avenue to restore spermatogenesis in azoospermia subjects. objective: proliferati...

religious scientists opinion about the numbers meaning in quran is different. some of them including shahab-o-ddin ebne edris reject that the numbers shall go out of their main original meaning and shall be applied in their virtual meaning and some others agree that some numbers like seven, seventy, and thousands are indicative of figurative meanings and say about them: the meaning of these num...

it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

introduction: the suspected water samples contaminated with legionella were enriched with acanthamoebae. small numbers of bacteria (not detectable by culture) can be multiplied in amoebae up to culturable level in co-culture condition. the conventional culture method for legionnaires' disease bacterium always suffers from low sensitivity. this co-culture method can significantly improve culture...
