TLDR
The habitat of Luehdorfia puziloi inexpecta was analyzed by using Quantification Theory Type I, a method for quantifying qualitative data as mentioned in this paper, and the results showed the order of importance of environmental factors to be: aspect of slope > amount of food plants > tree type = tree trunk girth > condition of undergrowth > geography.
Abstract
The habitat of Luehdorfia puziloi inexpecta was analyzed by using Quantification Theory Type I, a method for quantifying qualitative data. The investigation area was divided into 92 small sections and was surveyed for its environmental characteristics such as type of trees, tree trunk girth, condition of undergrowth, geography, aspect of slope, and amount of food plants. Environmental factors suitable for oviposition were analyzed using the area density of eggs in each section as the external criterion. The results showed the order of importance of environmental factors to be: aspect of slope > amount of food plants > tree type = tree trunk girth > condition of undergrowth > geography. A slope facing northeast, rich in food plants, with deciduous trees of trunk girth larger than 40 cm, with undergrowth below 30 cm and along a ridgeline was the most preferable habitat for the butterfly.

The recognition of the leaf size determines the egg cluster size while leaf abundance is correlated to the laying frequency for Luehdorfia puziloi (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) oviposition

TL;DR: For the Luehdorfia puziloi, the females’ recognition of the leaf size seems to be the most important factor in the egg cluster size, and the number of egg clusters had positive correlation with food plant density per unit area.

Validación de la identidad de marca de un diseño Kansei por Redes Neuronales Artificiales

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology to validate a design obtained by Kansei Engineering from the brand identity using Artificial Neural Networks, which is applied to a case study for a company; mathematical model QT1 and an artificial neural network, with which the design obtained for the brand of company is validated, are used for the synthesis space.

Fuzzy quantification theory type ii

TL;DR: The main stresses are that the approach to the quantification treatment of such qualitative data is based on fuzzy set theory, that this is different from Hayashi's approach employed in his quantification theory type I which deals with crisp cases of the authors' and that the method can be solved by linear programming.
