In [14] Yager and Filev introduced the Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging (IOWA) operator. In this paper, we provide some IOWA operators to aggregate fuzzy preference relations in group decision making problems. In particular, we present the Importance IOWA (I-IOWA) operator, the Consistency IOWA (C-IOWA) operator and the Preference IOWA (P-IOWA) operator. We also provide a procedure to deal wi...

We have examined the effect of an aminoterminal peptide from the lac repressor (residues 1-59) on the methylation of purines in the lac operator with dimethyl sulfate. The peptide perturbs the methylation of the operator, and the peptide-induced pattern of inhibition and enhancement of methylation, across the operator, closely resembles the pattern induced by intact repressor. This demonstrates...

We discuss some nonlinear problems associated with an infinite dimensional operator L defined on a real separable Hilbert space H. As the operator L we choose the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator induced by a centered Gaussian measure μ with covariance operator Q.

Background: Heat stress in the steel industry is considered as a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. A wide spectrum of complications and diseases from mild disorders such as burning sensation to fatal conditions such as thermal shock may occur due to uncontrolled thermal stress. In this study, heat stress assessment was performed according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBG...

In this paper we generate fuzzy relations and fuzzy operators using different kind of generators and we study the relationship between them. Firstly, we introduce a new fuzzy preorder induced by a fuzzy operator. We generalize this preorder to a fuzzy relation generated by two fuzzy operators and we analyze its properties. Secondly, we introduce and explore two ways of inducing a fuzzy operator...

We introduce a new concept of general $G$-$eta$-monotone operator generalizing the general $(H,eta)$-monotone operator cite{arvar2, arvar1}, general $H-$ monotone operator cite{xiahuang} in Banach spaces, and also generalizing $G$-$eta$-monotone operator cite{zhang}, $(A, eta)$-monotone operator cite{verma2}, $A$-monotone operator cite{verma0}, $(H, eta)$-monotone operator cite{fanghuang}...
