The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data.In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data.A Water Pumps linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data.Then, as an appli
Proximate Analysis and Mineral Composition of the Fruiting Body of Pleurotustuberregium (Mushroom) Cultivars from South East Nigeria.
The proximate analysis and mineral elements of the fruiting body of Pleurotus tuberregium were investigated to ascertain its nutritional and clinical implications.The protein content, crude-fibre, crude-fat, moisture and ash contents were determined using standard methods, the mineral elements was determined using atomic Betaine HCL (TMG) absorptio
Wideband Dual-Element Antenna Array for MIMO Mobile Phone Applications
A printed dual-element antenna array for LTE MIMO mobile phone applications is presented in this paper.The two array elements are symmetrically placed with the same dimensions, and each of the them consists of a novel driven strip and a wandering shorting strip.The driven strip is a whole loop, which improves House flag the impedance matching for t
Influence of model resolution on bomb cyclones revealed by HighResMIP-PRIMAVERA simulations
Bomb cyclones are explosively intensifying extratropical cyclones that can cause severe damage to life and property.However, the poor ability of coarse-resolution climate models to simulate bomb cyclones, including underestimation of the frequency of bomb cyclones, remains a problem.In this study, the dependence of bomb cyclone characteristics on h
Anxiogenic-like effect of acute and chronic fluoxetine on rats tested on the elevated plus-maze
The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine (FLX) is widely prescribed for depression and anxiety-related disorders.On the other hand, enhanced serotonergic transmission is known to be classically related to anxiety.In this study, the effects of acute (5.0 mg/kg) and chronic (5.0 mg/kg, 22 days) FLX were investigated in both food-deprived
