The 2-tuple Linguistic Model

Computing with Words in Decision Making

By: Luis Martínez,Rosa M. Rodriguez,Francisco Herrera

This book examines one of the more common and wide-spread methodologies to deal with uncertainty in real-world decision making problems, the computing with words paradigm, and the fuzzy linguistic approach. The 2-tuple linguistic model is the most popular methodology for computing with words (CWW), because it improves the accuracy of the linguistic computations and keeps the interpretability of the results. The authors provide a thorough review of the specialized literature in CWW and highlight the rapid growth and applicability of the 2-tuple linguistic model. They explore the foundations and methodologies for CWW in complex frameworks and extensions. The book introduces the software FLINTSTONES that provides tools for solving linguistic decision problems based on the 2-tuple linguistic model. Professionals and researchers working in the field of classification or fuzzy sets and systems will find The 2-tuple Linguistic Model: Computing with Words in Decision Making a valuable resource. Undergraduate and postdoctoral students studying computer science and statistics will also find this book a useful study guide.

Chapter 11. Lycopene: A Review of Chemical and Biological Activity Related to Beneficial Health Effects

By: Montaña Cámara,María de Cortes Sánchez-Mata,Virginia Fernández-Ruiz,Rosa María Cámara,Sadia Manzoor,Jorge O. Caceres

This work focuses on the developments related to lycopene, a natural carotenoid and bioactive compound, particularly with reference to its chemistry and biological activity and its potential health effects. The formation of free radicals or other compounds in the body that are able to oxidize lipids, proteins, and DNA (also known as oxidative stress) is one of the major risk factors for chronic diseases. There is considerable evidence that lycopene has a protective effect against cardiovascular disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, skin damage, and certain types of cancer such as prostate, breast, lung, and others. Because of this, the presence of lycopene in the diet is considered to be of great value. Dietary lycopene may increase the lycopene level in the body and act as an antioxidant. It may trap reactive oxygen species resulting in an increase in the overall antioxidant potential or a reduction in the oxidative damage to lipids (lipoproteins, membrane lipids), proteins (important enzymes), and DNA (genetic material), thereby lowering the oxidative stress. Alternatively, the increase in serum lycopene level may regulate gene functions, with the enhancement of intercellular communication (responsible for cell growth), modulating hormonal and immune response, regulating metabolism, and thus lowering the risk of chronic diseases. These mechanisms may also be interrelated and may act simultaneously to provide health benefits. Lycopene is quickly absorbed from different food sources (mainly tomato products) and distributed to corporal tissues where it maintains its antioxidant properties. This absorption varies depending on various factors such as food source, food processing, and other components in the diet. The human body is unable to synthesize carotenoids, such as lycopene, so a suitable diet intake is necessary to reach the adequate levels. In this review, the new developments in lycopene analysis by spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques along with mathematical modeling are also considered. These advances have made it possible to evaluate and determine the biological activity of lycopene in natural products. All this knowledge about the chemistry and biological activity of lycopene will be very helpful for the food industry, providing new opportunities in the field of food product development.

Introduction to Carbon Science

By: Ian A. S. Edwards,Harry Marsh,Rosa Menendez

Introduction to Carbon Science deals with various aspects of carbon science, from polymer science and prosthetics to crystallography, carbonization, spectroscopy, and surface science. Topics covered include the mechanisms of formation of isotropic and anisotropic carbons, physical properties of pitch relevant to the fabrication of carbon materials; kinetics and catalysis of carbon gasification; and porosity in carbons and graphites. Carbon fibers, cokes and composites, and coal to coke transformations are also discussed. This book is comprised of nine chapters and begins with an overview of the basic structural features of carbon materials, along with definitions of the various carbon forms encountered in carbon science. The principal techniques for studying the structure of solid carbons are also considered. The reader is then introduced to the mechanisms underlying the formation of isotropic and anisotropic carbons; the physicochemical changes that take place when pitch is pyrolyzed to carbon; and kinetics and catalysis of carbon gasification reactions. The following chapters explore various types of porosity in carbons and graphites; manufacture, properties, structure, and applications of carbon fibers; and mechanical properties of cokes and composites. This text concludes by describing the conversion of coal to coke. This monograph will be of interest to carbon scientists, technologists, and engineers, as well as those entering the field of carbon science for the first time.

Language and Literacy Development

English Learners with Communication Disorders, From Theory to Application, Second Edition

By: Linda I. Rosa-Lugo,Florin M. Mihai,Joyce W. Nutta

Language and Literacy Development: English Learners with Communication Disorders, from Theory to Application, Second Edition brings you the most useful, up-to-date information on best practices for English learners (ELs) with communication disorders from a variety of backgrounds—how to conduct assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring. The first edition of this text gave a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of serving ELs with communication disorders, and the second edition is expanded to show the nuts and bolts of how to meet ELs’ needs and how professionals can support their success at school. This text emphasizes collaboration between speech-language pathology (SLP) and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) professionals. More importantly, it shows how to apply the knowledge and implement the mechanics and practicalities of assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring. New to the Second Edition: * Updated EL and EL with communication disorders demographics and legislation. * An innovative assessment/intervention/monitoring (AIM) framework geared toward language proficiency development and academic content expansion of ELs with communication disorders. * Research-based and proficiency-level appropriate pedagogical interventions and recommendations for implementing effective assessments that support English learners with communication disorders in their language and content growth. * Updated information on commonly used assessments used by speech-language pathologists to identify/determine disability. Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as documents, audio, and video, etc.) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

The Maria Paradox

How Latinas Can Merge Old World Traditions with New World Self-Esteem

By: Rosa Maria Gil,Carmen Inoa Vazquez

In a lively, anecdotal manner, the authors show how to balance old-world values with contemporary North America, whether the issue is juggling career and family demands, turning the traditional marriage into a partnership, awakening and accepting one’s own sexuality, seeking help with emotional problems outside the family, or learning to stand up for one’s feelings and rights. Filled with real-life success stories and wise, compassionate advice, The Maria Paradox details how any Latina can enjoy the best of both worlds and become her own person at last.
