This paper shows how knowledge, in the form of fuzzy rules, can be derizted from a superuised learning neural network called fuzzy ARTMAP. Rule extraction proceeds in two stages: pruning, which simplifies the network structure by remooing excessiae recognition categories and weights; and quantization of continuous learned weights, which allows the final system state to be translated into a usab...

Animals often show left-right (LR) asymmetry in their body structures. In some vertebrates, the mechanisms underlying LR symmetry breaking and the subsequent signals responsible for LR asymmetric development are well understood. However, in invertebrates, the molecular bases of these processes are largely unknown. Therefore, we have been studying the genetic pathway of LR asymmetric development...

Super Resolution (SR) reconstruction is a procedure of attaining the High resolution (HR) images from a set of noisy and blurred low resolution (LR) observations. In this paper a novel SR algorithm is proposed by developing a fuzzy based Bicubic interpolation algorithm to improve the resolution of the image. The algorithm significantly improves the resolution, quality and enhances the color inf...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The basic regulatory mechanisms that control lateral root (LR) initiation are still poorly understood. An attempt is made to characterize the pattern and timing of LR initiation, to define a developmental window in which LR initiation takes place and to address the question of whether LR initiation is predictable. METHODS The spatial patterning of LRs and LR primordia (LRP...

in a previous work, we introduced particular fuzzy numbers anddiscussed some of their properties. in this paper we use the comparison methodintroduced by dorohonceanu and marin[5] to compare between these fuzzynumbers.

In this work, a new concept of upper dense sequence in interval (0,1] is introduced. There are infinitely many upper dense sequences in interval (0,1]. Using any upper dense sequence, a new decomposition theorem for fuzzy sets is established and proved. Then, using a chosen upper dense sequence as one of the necessary reference systems, infinitely many total orderings on the set of all fuzzy nu...

Dubois and Prade introduced the mean value of a fuzzy number as a closed interval bounded by the expectations calculated from its upper and lower distribution functions. In this paper introducing the notations of lower possibilistic and upper possibilistic mean values we definine the interval-valued possibilistic mean and investigate its relationship to the interval-valued probabilistic mean. W...

BACKGROUND We found granulosa cells of low responders (LR) expressed more LH receptors, suggesting that follicles were more luteinized than normal responders (NR). The objectives were to test the hypothesis that follicles of LR were more luteinized than follicles of NR, and to determine if LR with (LR+) and without (LR-) ovarian antibodies differed. METHODS Hormone levels and ovarian autoanti...
