This paper presents a very practical type-2-fuzzistics methodology for obtaining interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) models for words, one that is called an interval approach (IA). The basic idea of the IA is to collect interval endpoint data for a word from a group of subjects, map each subject’s data interval into a prespecified type-1 (T1) person membership function, interpret the latter as a...

Words mean different things to different people, and so are uncertain. We, therefore, need a fuzzy set model for a word that has the potential to capture their uncertainties. In this paper I propose that an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) be used as a FS model of a word, because it is characterized by its footprint of uncertainty (FOU), and therefore has the potential to capture word uncerta...

dans le monde littéraire de la perpétuelle création imaginaire, les notions classiques ne peuvent à jamais rester les mêmes pendant des siècles. il arrive parfois même qu’à l’époque moderne, plutôt mondaine et matérielle, elles changent, en partie, de leur définition. nous pourrions citer en guise d’exemple, la notion de mysticisme, un concept autant religieux que traditionnel. la variété du mo...

In this document, we give a more detailed explanation of the accuracy (ACC) vs. frequency-of-use (FOU) metric introduced in the main paper. We show the ACC vs. FOU curves for a human user1 as well as automatic failure prediction using our specification sheets. The area under these curves were reported in Tables 2 and 3 in the main paper (and are replicated here in Tables 1 and 2). Recall that o...

l’homme a toujours souffert du caractère impeccable du réel qui, imposant des répressions mentales et sociales, interdit la réalisation des souhaits et des désirs. pourtant il semble que rien ne puisse faire d’obstacles à l’esprit humain lorsqu’il prend la voie du rêve, ce phénomène compliqué et surnaturel. mais quelle est la fonction du rêve quand il entre dans le domaine de la littérature? pe...

Bacteria and eukaryotes possess redundant enzymes that recognize and remove oxidatively damaged bases from DNA through base excision repair. DNA glycosylases remove damaged bases to initiate the base excision repair. The exocyclic methyl group of thymine does not escape oxidative damage to produce 5-formyluracil (5-foU) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5-hmU). 5-foU is a potentially mutagenic lesion....
