the traditional event tree analysis uses a single probability to represent each top event. however, it is unrealistic to evaluate the occurrence of each event by using a crisp value without considering the inherent uncertainty and imprecision a state has. the fuzzy set theory is universally applied to deal with this kind of phenomena. the main purpose of this study is to construct an easy metho...

OBJECTIVE The value of spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG) oscillations in distinguishing patients in vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious states (MCS) was studied. METHODS We quantified dynamic repertoire of EEG oscillations in resting condition with closed eyes in patients in VS and MCS. The exact composition of EEG oscillations was assessed by the probability-classification a...

during a survey of sindh and punjab provinces of pakistan, two dragonfly genera were collected and identified for the first time from the country. anaciaeshna(family aeshnidae) is a genus of large dragonflies. representatives were collectedfrom gujjo, district thatta (sindh) in august 2008 and were identified as anaciaeshna jaspidea (burmeister). the second genus was epophthalmia (family cordul...

Hydrological drought analysis using SDI index in Halilrud basin of Iran Abstract Nowadays, drought is considered as damaging environmental phenomenon which affects natural resources and social communities. Therefore it will be an important issues that magnitude and effects of these phenomena to be considered. To do this we used L-moment method for regional homogeneity testing. The Streamflow Dr...

Questions: Can probability of occurrence and dominance be accurately estimated for six important conifer species with varying range sizes? Does range size impact the accuracy of species probability of occurrence models? Is species predicted probability of occurrence significantly related to observed dominance? Location: Pacific Northwest region, North America (601–401N, 1401–1101W). Methods: Th...
