    Representing fuzzy numbers for fuzzy calculus

    No full text
    In this paper we illustrate the LU representation of fuzzy numbers and present an LU-fuzzy calculator, in order to explain the use of the LU-fuzzy model and to show the advantage of the parametrization. The model can be applied either in the level-cut or in generalized LR frames. The hand-like fuzzy calculator has been developed for the MSWindows platform and produces the basic fuzzy calculus: the arithmetic operations (scalar multiplication, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and the fuzzy extension of many univariate functions (exponential, logarithm, power with numeric or fuzzy exponent, sin, arcsin, cos, arccos, tan, arctan, square root, Gaussian, hyperbolic sinh, cosh, tanh and inverses, erf and erfc error functions, cumulative standard normal distribution).Fuzzy Sets, LU-fuzzy Calculator, Fuzzy Calculus, Parametric LU represemtation

    (A) Chemical structure of 1’S-1’-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA). (B) The cell viability of MCF 10A, A549 and SK-LU-1 cells lines after exposure to ACA (0–30 μM) for 24 h was assessed using MTT assay. Data represented as mean percentage of cell viability ± SD for three independent experiments. (C) The cell viability of A549 and SK-LU-1 cells lines after exposure to IC50 of ACA (25 μM for SK-LU-1 and 30 μM for A549 cells) on respective cell lines for 0–24 h was assessed using MTT assay. Data represented as mean percentage of cell viability ± SD for three independent experiments. * p p < 0.01 statistically different in comparison to 0 h (D) Representative photomicrograph (200 × magnification) of A549 and SK-LU-1 cell lines upon ACA treatment.

    Factors influencing medical oncology referral in Dukes' C colonic cancer

    Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and adjuvant chemotherapy is proven to improve survival in patients with Dukes' C CRC. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors influencing referral to medical oncology in patients with Dukes' C colonic cancer in our institutions. Methods: Patients who underwent resection for Dukes' C colonic cancer were assessed for factors that influence the pattern of postoperative referral to the medical oncology department, including demographic and perioperative data. Results: Overall, 466 patients were identified to have Dukes' C colonic cancer, with 53.9% of these being female. Referral to medical oncology occurred for 58.4% patients. Multivariable logistic regression modeling identified age, elective admission and resection in private hospitals as factors. The likelihood of medical oncology referral in patients who had elective resection was 63% versus 41% in those who had emergency resection and resection in private hospitals was 69% versus 50% in public hospitals. Conclusion: Referral to a postoperative medical oncology clinic for adjuvant chemotherapy in Dukes' C colonic cancer was more likely in younger patients, those who underwent elective resection and those treated in private hospitals.Cu-Tai Lu, Jacqueline H.

    No full text
    Genus Choneteuthis gen. nov. Etymology: The generic epithet is derived from the Greek word for funnel. It refers to the long, tubular, and exposed funnel of the animal, a feature not seen in any other sepiolid. Diagnosis: Funnel long, tubular, not covered by mantle, web uniting arms shallow, a large, round photophore present on ink sac, colored ventral shield present, anterodorsal margin of mantle and head not fused, well developed nuchal cartilage present, gladius present, hectocotylized arms absent. Type species: Choneteuthis tongaensis sp. nov.Published as part of Lu, C. C. & Boucher-Rodoni, R., 2006, A new genus and species of sepiolid squid from the waters around Tonga in the central South Pacific (Mollusca: Cephalopoda: Sepiolidae), pp. 37-51 in Zootaxa 1310 on pages 38-39, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17385
