Operations on Hesitant Linguistic terms sets Induced By Archimedean Triangular Norms And Conorms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2018
The aim of the paper is to discuss some new operations on hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms sets based on Archimedean t-norm and t-conorm. The advantage is that the operations on hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms sets are closed, by studying propositions of ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

A spectrum of compromise aggregation operators for multi-attribute decision making.

open access: yes, 2007
In many decision making problems, a number of independent attributes or criteria are often used to individually rate an alternative from an agent’s local perspective and then these individual ratings are combined to produce an overall assessment. Now, in

A discussion on aggregation operators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
summary:It has been lately made very clear that aggregation processes can not be based upon a unique binary operator. Global aggregation operators have been therefore introduced as families of aggregation operators $\lbrace T_n\rbrace _n$, being each one

Aggregation Functions Considering Criteria Interrelationships in Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making: State-of-the-Art

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Aggregation function is an important component in an information aggregation or information fusion system. Interrelationships usually exist between the input arguments (e.g., the criteria in the multi-criteria decision making) of an aggregation function.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Bivariate copula-based aggregation functions

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents the role of copula functions in the theory of aggregation operators. In this context we are focusing our attention about several properties of aggregation functions, like supermodularity and Schur-concavity, studying also a ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
