Bacterial and fungal pathogens in recirculating aquaculture egg incubation systems can cause elevated mortality decreased production. Peracetic acid (PAA) is a relatively low-cost, safe, effective disinfectant; however, its toxicity to early life stages of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has not been assessed. The 24-h LC50 value PAA was determined for three salmon: eyed eggs, fry (~0.17 g), ...

In this work, the conformational space of the pseudosaccharyl ether 3-(allyloxy)-1,2-benzisothiazole 1,1-dioxide (ABID) has been studied by means of infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Five different low energy conformers (TSk, TC, GSk, GSk' and GC, with relative energies of 0.00, 1.97, 2.00, 3.82 and 6.02 kJ mol(-1), respectively) were found on the DFT(B3LYP...

In this work the physical-chemical properties of asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits are studied. Their component composition was determined. The results obtained basis for selection effective solvents and choice method removing from oil reservoirs. Two hydrocarbon with brands “TSK А” B” were tested. solvent ability

This paper introduces a higher-order Takagi-SugenoKang (TSK) neuro-fuzzy inference system and its applications in medical decision support systems. Different from most TSK fuzzy systems that utilize first-order TSK type fuzzy rules, the proposed system is composed of higherorder TKS fuzzy rules that have functions in their consequent parts of the following type: y = b0 x1 b1 x2 ...xp . The type...

Abstract. Recently, a number of extensions to classical fuzzy logic systems (type-1 fuzzy logic systems) have been attracting interest. One of the most widely used extensions is the interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems. An interval type-2 TSK fuzzy logic system can be obtained by considering the membership functions of its existed type-1 counterpart as primary membership functions and assigning ...

In this paper, a TSK-type quantum neural fuzzy network (TQNFN) for temperature control is proposed. The TQNFN model is a five-layer structure, which combines the traditional Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK). Layer 2 of the TQNFN model contains quantum membership functions, which are multilevel activation functions. Each quantum membership function is composed of the sum of sigmoid functions shifted by ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the factor structure of the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK). DESIGN Chinese patients with chronic pain attending either orthopaedic specialist services (n = 216) or multidisciplinary specialist pain services (n = 109) participated in this study. METHODS Subjects completed the Chinese version of TSK, The Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire, Hospita...

The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for the development of diverse tissues during embryogenesis. Signal transduction is activated by the binding of Wnt proteins to the type I receptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5/6 and the seven-pass transmembrane protein Frizzled (Fzd), which contains a Wnt-binding site in the form of a cysteine-rich domain. Known extracellular antagon...

This study aimed to identify the skin temperature (Tsk) behavior to understand the acute cross-effect after unilateral training of lower-limbs. Seventeen healthy young men (weight, 75.2±5.5 kg; height, 1.8±0.1 m; age, 22.5±1.6 years) were divided into two groups: high-trained (n=8) and low-trained (n=9). All participants performed: (a) one-repetition maximum (1RM) testing protocol on the leg pr...

The Mamdani and TSK fuzzy models are fuzzy inference engines which have been most widely applied in real-world problems. Compared to the Mamdani approach, the TSK approach is more convenient when the crisp outputs are required. Common to both approaches, when a given observation does not overlap with any rule antecedent in the rule base (which usually termed as a sparse rule base), no rule can ...
