TISSUE Tissue is a biological structure made up of cells of the same type. - Cells of the same phenotype(e., same genes expressed). An aggregation of morphologically similar cells and associated extracellular matrix acting together to perform one or more specific functions in the body. - There are four basic types of tissue: muscle, nerve, epithelia, and connective. An organ is a structure made up of or more tissues

How to make a better device Good performance faster and less power consumed Low cost more compact and use less area

In this problem we will study the effects of adding rules to the rule- base. Suppose that we use seven triangular membership functions on each universe of discourse and make them uniformly distributed in the same manner as how we did in Exercise 2.3. In particular make the points at which the outermost input membership functions for e saturate at +r/2 and for e at tr/4 For u make the outermost ones have their peaks
