In this work, we propose an approach for computing the compromised solution of an LR fuzzy linear system by using of a ranking function when the coefficient matrix is a crisp mn matrix. To do this, we use expected interval to find an LR fuzzy vector, X , such that the vector (AX ) has the least distance from (b) in 1 norm and the 1 cut of X satisfies the crisp linear system AX = b ...

A single net system based on Kohonen’s Feature map was trained using a combined vector that contains visual features of an image and its collateral keywords. The performance of the single net was compared with a multinet system, comprising two SOMs, one trained with visual features and the other on keywords, in the presence of a Hebbian network that learns to associate visual features with keyw...

While the conflict between basic science evidence for estrogen neuroprotection and the lack of effectiveness in clinical trials is only now being resolved, it is clear that strategies for estrogen neuroprotection that avoid activation of ERs have the potential for clinical application. Herein we review the evidence from both in vitro and in vivo studies that describe high potency neuroprotectio...
