چکیده
Data from epidemiological studies have demonstrated that genetics is an important risk factor for schizophrenia. Disturbances of serotonergic brain pathways have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Some studies have suggested that the efficacy of atypical antipsychotics on schizophrenia treatment may be related to the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A), and that serotonergic drugs may induce psychotic symptoms. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between the C516T polymorphism and schizophrenia in a Brazilian population composed by 246 patients and 315 healthy matched controls in a case-control approach. No statistically differences were observed in allelic (χ2=1.77, 1d.f., p=0.18) or genotypic (χ2=1.69, 2d.f., p=0.42) distributions between cases and controls. The results suggest that the C516T polymorphism of the 5-HT2A receptor gene is not related to the susceptibility for schizophrenia in our Brazilian sample.

Neuro-fuzzy modelling in support of knowledge management in social regulation of access to cigarettes by minors
In this paper a neuro-fuzzy modelling is proposed to support knowledge management in social regulation. The neuro-fuzzy learning process is based on tacit knowledge in order to highlight what specific steps local government should undertake to reach the outcome with an increase in compliance. An example is given to demonstrate the validity of the approach. Empirical results show the dependabili...

A comparative study on a short-term water level prediction using arti/cial neural networks (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy system is addressed in this paper. The performance of the traditional approaches applied for such a hydrological task can often be constrained by data availability and simplifying assumptions in the processes description. In this paper, the ANN and neuro-fuzzy approaches are used for...

Although fuzzy systems demonstrated their ability to solve different kinds of problems in various applications, there is an increasing interest on augmenting them with learning capabilities. Two of the most successful approaches to hybridise fuzzy systems with adaptation methods have been made in the realm of soft computing: neuro-fuzzy systems and genetic fuzzy systems hybridise the approximat...
متن کاملDesign of an adaptive neural network based power system stabilizer
Power system stabilizers (PSS) are used to generate supplementary control signals for the excitation system in order to damp the low frequency power system oscillations. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional PSS (CPSS), numerous techniques have been proposed in the literature. Based on the analysis of existing techniques, this paper presents an indirect adaptive neural network based power s...
