A phylogenetic study was conducted to hypothesize relationships of most of the genera of the Oniticellini and Onthophagini for the first time using morphological characters from a diverse array of external and internal sclerites. The monophyly and sister relationship of both tribes was found using Bayesian and parsimony analyses with heavily to moderately weighted data. An alternative hypothesi...

In this paper a new aggregation operator for a class of LR Fuzzy Numbers i.e., Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFNs) in which the Land Rapex angles of the piecewise continuous linear membership function of the composite or resultant or aggregate TFN are the arithmetic means of the corresponding Land Rapex angles of the individual TFNs is proposed. The Land Rapex angles have been treated independently...

Recent articles of Sánchez and Gómez (2003a, 2003b, 2004) addressed the subject of fuzzy regression (FR) and the term structure of interest rates (TSIR). Following Tanaka et. al. (1982), their regression models included a fuzzy output, fuzzy coefficients and an non-fuzzy input vector. The fuzzy components were assumed to be triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). The basic idea was to minimize the fuz...

The aim of this paper is to develop an effective method for solving matrix games with payoffs of triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) which are arbitrary. In this method, it always assures that players’ gain-floor and loss-ceiling have a common TFN-type fuzzy value and hereby any matrix game with payoffs of TFNs has a TFN-type fuzzy value. Based on duality theorem of linear programming (LP) and the ...

Since there is no state structure in the Jahiliyyah Period, political situation highly uncertain and mysterious. However, reached its peak with Umayyad dynasty while still being present during Period. It a known fact that civilizations of The Period are quite different from other past times. Due to geographic hardships, it impossible survive Arabian Peninsula nuclear family. Thus, people age we...

The deployment of Self-Organizing Networks (SONs) raises a number of key design issues such as scalability, spontaneity, ease-of-management, adaptability, and dynamicallychanging topologies. In this context, routing is particularly challenging, and requires revisiting important components of the routing architecture/protocol suite, such as, establishing and managing an addressing scheme, provid...

Exploring the potential of social capital as a strength society in developing farming becomes central point sustainable agricultural development. The Arfak tribe, community, living Papua region, has only been introduced to introduction upland rice their activities for approximately three years. study find Tribe farming, application and relationship between is aim this research. research was con...

The paper is devoted to a taxonomic review of Oligaphorurini from the north-eastern part of Palaearctic. Two new species, i.e. Oligaphoruraambigua sp. n. and Oligaphoruraduocellata sp. n., are described. Four species, Oligaphoruranataliae (Fjellberg, 1987), Oligaphorurainterrupta (Fjellberg, 1987), Oligaphorurapingicola (Fjellberg, 1987), and Micraphoruraalnus (Fjellberg, 1987), are redescribed...

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin has the highest smoking rate in the state. To address the resultant health disparities, the tribe conducted a qualitative pilot project to examine tobacco use. The findings indicated mainstream models of addiction did not capture the tribe's context well; the Indigenist Stress-Coping Model was most applicable. Participants suggested that Menominee-centric...
