This study employs a novel fuzzy logic-based framework to address multi-attribute group decision-making problems commonly encountered in modern astronomy. Our approach utilizes the probabilistic linguistic -rung orthopair fuzzy set (PL-ROFS) to handle the inherent uncertainties associated with astronomical data. The PL-ROFS offers significant advantages over existing fuzzy sets like probabilistic hesitant, linguistic intuitionistic, and linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy sets, which comprise both stochastic and non-stochastic uncertainties simultaneously.

The genetic signatures of species have been detected in many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. A small set of representatives of this genus has been isolated and maintained in culture.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that during methanotrophic growth cells of Methylococcus capsulatus Bath express key enzymes of these routes. In this study, the role of the serine cycle key enzymes, serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (Sga) and malyl-CoA lyase (Mcl) in metabolism of Methylococcus capsulatus Bath was investigated by gene inactivation.

The aim of our research was to analyse diagnostic markers for neonatal sepsis and build an application which could calculate its probability. (2) Methods: A retrospective clinical study was conducted on 497 neonates treated at the Clinical Department of Neonatology of the University Children's Hospital in Ljubljana from 2007 to 2021.

These bacteria inhabit oxic-anoxic interfaces of various freshwater habitats and have attracted considerable attention as potential producers of a single-cell protein. Here, we characterize two fast-growing representatives of this genus, strains 12 and MP1, which are phylogenetically distinct from the currently described Methylomonas species (94.
