abstract— in this paper, a new extended method of multi criteria decision making based on fuzzy-topsis theory is introduced. fuzzy mcdm algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. using a new index leads to procedure for choosing fuzzy ideal and negative ideal solutions directly from the fuzzy data observed alternatives.in this...

Measles remains a major cause of child mortality, in part due to an inability to vaccinate young infants with the current live attenuated virus vaccine (LAV). To explore new approaches to infant vaccination, chimeric Venezuelan equine encephalitis/Sindbis virus (VEE/SIN) replicon particles were used to express the hemagglutinin (H) and fusion (F) proteins of measles virus (MV). Juvenile rhesus ...

The notion of S-fuzzy left h-ideals in a hemiring is introduced and it’s basic properties are investigated.We also study the homomorphic image and preimage of S-fuzzy left h-ideal of hemirings.Using a collection of left h-ideals of a hemiring, S-fuzzy left h-ideal of hemirings are established.The notion of a finitevalued S-fuzzy left h-ideal is introduced,and its characterization is given.S-fuz...

Experimental studies evaluated the vector competence of Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus (Wiedemann), Culex cancer Theobald, Culex pseudes (Dyar and Knab), Culex taeniopus Dyar and Knab, and a Culex (Culex) species, probably Culex quinquefasciatus Say, and Culex nigripalpus Theobald from Chiapas, Mexico, and Tocoa, Honduras, for epizootic (IC) and enzootic (IE) strains of Venezuelan equine encephalo...

The ecology of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus transmission was compared at three enzootic foci: two forest sites in the Catatumbo region of western Venezuela that have yielded small numbers of virus isolates since the 1970s, and another focus in the middle Magdalena Valley of Colombia that has consistently yielded many VEE virus isolates. Our results demonstrated dramatic difference...

Fuzzy semigroup theory concentrates on theoretical aspects, but also includes applications in the areas of fuzzy coding theory, fuzzy finite state machines, and fuzzy languages. In this paper, we introduce the concept of an ( , )-fuzzy filter of an ordered semigroup , where , , , , with . Since the concept of ( , )-fuzzy filter is an important and useful generalization of ordinary fuzzy filter,...

in a ternary semihyperring, addition is a hyperoperation and multiplicationis a ternary operation. indeed, the notion of ternary semihyperringsis a generalization of semirings. our main purpose of this paper is to introducethe notions of fuzzy hyperideal and fuzzy bi-hyperideal in ternary semihyperrings.we give some characterizations of fuzzy hyperideals and investigateseveral kinds of them.

in this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (dmus) called ideal dmu (idmu) and anti-ideal dmu (admu) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of dmus are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (fdea). therefore, we evaluate dmus from the perspective of the best and worst possible relative efficiency. for each dmu two efficiencies are calculated while inputs and ...

in this paper, we present an application of intuitionistic fuzzyprogramming to a two person bi-matrix game (pair of payoffs matrices) for thesolution with mixed strategies using linear membership and non-membershipfunctions. we also introduce the intuitionistic fuzzy(if) goal for a choiceof a strategy in a payoff matrix in order to incorporate ambiguity of humanjudgements; a player wants to max...

In this paper, we study I-fuzzy bi-matrix games with I-fuzzy goals. The indeterminacy factor in the I-fuzzy goal of each player is resolved using the Hurwicz optimism-pessimism rule. As a result, such an I-fuzzy bi-matrix game reduces to solving a fuzzy optimization problem with S-shaped membership functions. The latter problem is equivalently converted into its crisp counterpart using the conv...
