New Criteria Established for Assessing Human Carcinogens

New criteria established for assessing human carcinogens.

As to the long standing debate about whether EMFs can cause cancer, researchers hope this study will add to the already substantial body of evidence. The most extensive study to date, released in late October by the National Resource Council, found no conclusive evidence that EMFs cause cancer. A team of EMF specialists will use a special meter to take spot measurements on electromagnetic field...

Animal and human carcinogens.

Lewis et al. (1) state that compared to the fairly large number (> 400) of known rodent carcinogens, only a relatively small number of compounds (-20-30) have been shown to be carcinogenic in humans. From this comparison, the authors seem to infer that animal bioassay cancer findings overpredict for human carcinogens. Of course, for most animal carcinogens there are no available epidemiologic d...

NEW CRITERIA FOR RULE SELECTION IN FUZZY LEARNING CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS

Designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing Fuzzy Learning Classifier (FLC) systems. Conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. In thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of Information Retrieval (IR)systems is adapted as alternative...

A New Fuzzy Method for Assessing Six Sigma Measures

Six-Sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. In most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. In this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO), Defects per Opportunity (DPO), Defects per unit (DPU) and Yield, a new algorithm ba...
