We interpret fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems (where some or all coefficients can be fuzzy sets and the inequality relations between fuzzy sets can be given by a certain fuzzy relation) as multiple fuzzy reasoning schemes (MFR), where the antecedents of the scheme correspond to the constraints of the FLP problem and the fact of the scheme is the objective of the FLP problem. Then the sol...

We interpret fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems with fuzzy coefficients and fuzzy inequality relations as multiple fuzzy reasoning schemes (MFR), where the antecedents of the scheme correspond to the constraints of the FLP problem and the fact of the scheme is the objective of the FLP problem. Then the solution process consists of two steps: first, for every decision variable x ∈ IRn, we c...

Traditionally, implementations for functional logic languages (FLP) have used depth-first search to implement narrowing, a well-known search strategy. While this approach yields good performance, it is unnecessarily restrictive in the sense that some programs lead to non-termination (the search computes forever in one part of the search space, failing to consider the rest) when clearly they sho...

Root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is an obligate sedentary endoparasite that infects a large number of crop species and causes substantial yield losses. Non-chemical based control strategies for these nematodes are gaining importance. In the present study, we have demonstrated the significance of two FMRFamide like peptide genes (flp-14 and flp-18) for infection and development of resi...

Type classes [19, 7] are, according to some authors, ‘the most beloved feature of Haskell’. They provide a clean, modular and elegant way of writing overloaded functions. Type classes are usually implemented using dictionaries—data structures containing functions and other dictionaries—which are passed as extra arguments to the overloaded functions. Thus, programs using type classes are transla...

BACKGROUND Circular forms of viral genomic DNA are generated during infection of cells with retroviruses like HIV-1. Such circles are unable to replicate and are eventually lost as a result of cell division, lending support to the prevalent notion that episomal retroviral DNA forms are dead-end products of reverse transcription. RESULTS We demonstrate that circular DNA generated during transd...

In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

This article contributes to a dialogue between childhood studies and the sociolinguistic subfield ‘Family Language Policy’ (‘FLP’). The argues that two fields provide complementary vantage points for exploring child agency. It explains revised version of model I developed conceptualise agency in FLP, consisting four intersecting dimensions: compliance regimes; linguistic norms; competence gener...

Type IV pili are virulence factors in various bacteria and mediate, among other functions, the colonization of diverse surfaces. Various subclasses of type IV pili have been identified, but information on pilus expression, biogenesis, and the associated phenotypes is sparse for the genus Yersinia. We recently described the identification of PypB as a transcriptional regulator in Yersinia entero...

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that has been associated with localized aggressive periodontitis and infections of the heart, brain, and urinary tract. Wild-type clinical isolates have the remarkable ability to adhere tenaciously and nonspecifically to solid surfaces such as glass, plastic, and hydroxyapatite. Adherence by A. actinomycetemcomitans is mediat...
