Several choice processes of alternatives for non-homogeneous group decision making problems, assuming linguistic preference relations for expressing the opinions of individuals and linguistic values for expressing their respective power or importance degrees, are presented. These processes are designed using two choice degrees of alternatives based on the concept of fuzzy majority: quanti-er gu...

The article focuses on A. Huxley's famous novel "Brave New World" and the two versions of its translation (Russian Armenian). aim analysis is identification linguistic means specifying futuristic world, so-called World State XXVI century (AD 2540), a where psychological manipulation predominates as method creating totalitarian society, dictatorship subjugation people’s successful standardizatio...

Linguistic Databases is an edited collection of papers on the use of databases in linguistics. It comprises a selection of 12 contributions to the conference with the same title, which was held at the University of Groningen on 23-24 March 1995. The need for data management tools in linguistics is evident. Although collections of linguistic data grew rapidly in the past, the development of suit...

abstract: application of atomic force microscope as a manipulator for pushing-based positioning of nano-particles has been of considerable interest during recent years. however a detailed modeling of the interaction forces and control on the afm tip is important for prosperous manipulation control, a reliable control of the afm tip position during the afm-based manipulation process is a main is...

The intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS) is an extension of linguisitc variable. To overcome the drawback of using single real number to represent membership degree and non-membership degree for ILS, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic linguistic set (IVILS) is introduced through representing the membership degree and non-membership degree with intervals for ILS in this paper. The oper...

Because of the complexity of decision-making environment, the uncertainty of fuzziness and the uncertainty of grey maybe coexist in the problems of multi-attribute group decision making. In this paper, we study the problems of multi-attribute group decision making with hybrid grey attribute data (the precise values, interval numbers and linguistic fuzzy variables coexist, and each attribute val...

The sensitivity analysis of atomic force microscope (AFM) based manipulation of gold spherical nanoparticles in air medium has been carried out in previous research works. In the AFM-based manipulations conducted in various biological liquid mediums, the new environmental parameters associated with these biological fluids also affect the dynamics of the manipulation process. Therefore in this r...

Abstract The concern that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to manipulate individuals, with undesirable consequences for the manipulated individual as well society a whole, plays key role in debate on ethics of AI. This chapter uses case political manipulation voters and vulnerable consumers studies explore how AI contribute facilitate such evaluated from an ethical perspective. presents...
