This paper introduces an approximate fuzzy representation to FuzzyUCS, a Michigan-style Learning Fuzzy-Classifier System that evolves linguistic fuzzy rules, and studies whether the flexibility provided by the approximate representation results in a significant improvement of the accuracy of the models evolved by the system. We test Fuzzy-UCS with both approximate and linguistic representation ...

Abstract For low-carbon sustainability, recycled rubber particles (RPs) and aggregate (RA) could be used to make rubber-modified concrete (RRAC). The characteristics (compressive strength peak strain) of RRAC with various amounts RA RPs after heating at temperatures were studied in this work. results show that high significantly decreased the uniaxial compressive (UCS), whereas addition ( e.g. ...

Uterine carcinosarcomas (UCS) are rare (3-4%) but highly aggressive, accounting for a disproportionately high (16.4%) mortality among uterine malignancies. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates important cellular processes including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Existence of biphasic elements and a report demonstrating amplification of TG...

The study aims to develop a reliable model using gene-expression programming (GEP) technique for estimating the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of soil stabilization by cement and fly ash. considered effects several parameters, including ash characteristics such as calcium oxide (CaO) content, CaO/SiO2 ratio, loss ignition. research results show that proposed demonstrates superior perform...

Pneumocystis carinii expresses a surface glycoprotein called MSG. Different isoforms of MSG are encoded by a gene family spread over at least 15 telomeric sites. Only one locus, called UCS, supports the production of MSG mRNA. Previous studies showed that P. carinii populations from individual rats exhibited high degrees of diversity with respect to the MSG genes attached to the UCS locus. This...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) expression and survival in women with uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS). Insulin-like growth factor 2 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemical staining of tumor tissues from 103 patients with UCS. The H-score (product of staining intensity and percentage positive cells) was quantifi...

With the rapid development of construction and road engineering, accumulation silting waste soil is becoming more serious. In order to recycle silt, a new type stabilizer was developed in this study improve its mechanical properties applicability on roads. The optimal ratio components determined by orthogonal test grey correlation analysis. effects macroscopic silt were investigated unconfined ...

Comparisons of the performance curve of a classical conditioning group with the curves of control groups provided unequivocal evidence that elicitation of eyelid responses to the conditioned stimulus was acquired by associations formed between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus. The eyelid reflex elicited by stimulation of the cornea is a prompt, stable response which does ...

Conventionally, many researchers have used both regression and black box techniques to estimate the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of different rocks. The advantage of the regression approach is that it can be used to render a functional relationship between the predictive rock indices and its UCS. The advantage of the black box techniques is in rendering more accurate predictions. Gene ...
