The interval multiple attribute decision-making problems are studied in this paper, where the preference information on attributes is expressed with preference orderings, linguistic terms, interval numbers, and inequality constraints among partial attribute weights. An approach is proposed to determine the attribute weights based on the preference information on attributes and the interval decision matrix. Firstly, preference orderings, linguistic terms, and interval numbers are normalized and aggregated into the group opinions, based on which an optimization model is set up to calculate the subjective attribute weights by including inequality constraints among partial attribute weights in the model.

However, the precise function of this GTPase in innate immunity remains unknown. In this study, we identified a Rab3 gene (Ha-Rab3) from the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera and studied its roles in innate immune responses.

A total of 60 elderly were randomly divided into training group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score and abilities of daily living scale (ADL) score before, after 3-month, and after 6-month intervention period was measured.

A rent study in Spodoptera litura showed that stress-induced elevation of SRP expression highly correlates with reduced feeding activities and growth retardation of larvae. In this study, we identified a SRP gene from the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, namely Ha-SRP, and studied its precise roles in insect immunity.
