Can Fuzzy Logic Bring Complex Problems into Focus? Modeling Imprecise Factors in Environmental Policy
Introduction You and a friend walk outside on an April morning. You announce that the weather is “mild”. Your friend declares it “cold”. Who is wrong? Or are you both right? We all recognize that language can be imprecise and that words such as cold, hot, or mild do not have well-defined boundaries. In 1965, Lotfi Zadeh introduced fuzzy logic as a means of processing data by extending classical...

Nancy A. Nussmeier, MD‡ All of us make mistakes. The nature of being human is to err. John Nance, speaking at the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) 29th Annual Meeting (April 22, 2007, Montreal, Canada) during the Flawless Operative Cardiovascular Unified Systems (FOCUS) initiative opening address noted, “although individuals may make mistakes, it is possible for teams to be fla...
متن کاملBright Dyes Bring Biology into Focus
Major advances in microscopy have revolutionized our view of the cell, allowing us to see what was previously not visible, now with unprecedented resolution. This would not be possible without an impressive portfolio of bright, modular, and photostable fluorescent dyes. Among these are xanthene-based dyes which includes fluorescein, a versatile FDA-approved reagent first synthesized more than a...
متن کاملFuzzy logic makes complex and non-linear problems much
This paper presents an approach for the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizers using genetic algorithms. In the proposed fuzzy expert system, speed deviation and its derivative have been selected as fuzzy inputs. In this approach the parameters of the fuzzy logic controllers have been tuned using genetic algorithm. Incorporation of GA in the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizer...
متن کاملScience and Culture: Arctic photographers bring climate change into focus.
In 2009, a hunter shot a polar bear and carried it by dogsled about 750 meters to the town of Ittoqqortoormiit on the eastern coast of Greenland. Typically, the town’s hunters encounter polar bears on distant sea ice a couple of hours or even days from town. They skin their catches and leave behind the heavy bones. But as climate change melts more sea ice—the bear’s preferred hunting grounds—po...
