Members of the genus Parachironomus Lenz known from China and Japan are revised, and a key to their male adults is given. Parachironomuspoyangensis sp. n. is described in this life stage. Parachironomusfrequens (Johannsen) and Parachironomusmonochromus (van der Wulp) are recorded from China for the first time, thus are redescribed from Chinese specimens. Parachironomuskamaabeus Sasa & Tanaka an...

Fuzzy linear regression analysis with symmetric triangular fuzzy number coefficient has been introduced by Tanaka et al. In this work we propose to approximate the fuzzy nonlinear regression using Artificial Neural Networks. The working of the proposed method is illustrated by the case study with the data for temperature and evaporation for the IARI New Delhi division. MSC: 62J86

Since Tanaka et al. in 1982 proposed a study in linear regression with a fuzzy model, fuzzy regression analysis has been widely studied and applied in various areas. However, Tanaka’s approach may give an incorrect interpretation of the fuzzy linear regression results when outliers are present in the data set. To handle the outlier problem, we propose an omission approach for Tanaka’s linear pr...

Fuzzy regression analysis using fuzzy linear models with symmetric triangular fuzzy number coefficient has been introduced by Tanaka et al. The goal of this regression is to find the coefficient of a proposed model for all given input-output data sets. In this paper, we propose a new 1716 E. Pasha et al method for computation of fuzzy regression. The method is constructed on the basis of minimi...

A sentinel node biopsy (SNB) has been proved to be an accurate method to estimate the axillary lymph node status as a replacement for axillary lymph node dissection (AxLND) in patients with early breast cancer who have not been treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). We examined the feasibility and accuracy of performing SNB after NAC. Seventy breast cancer patients treated with NAC were e...
