1. Throughout much of Britain, Ireland and north Italy, red squirrels ( Sciurus vulgaris L.) have been replaced by alien grey squirrels ( S. carolinensis Gmelin) introduced from North America. We have studied squirrels in two mixed woodlands in north Italy and two conifer forests in north England. In each country, one site was occupied by red squirrels and one site by both species. 2. We have p...

The feature of our method different from other fuzzy grey relation method for supermixed multiple attribute group decision-making is that all of the subjective and objective weights are obtained by interval grey number and that the group decisionmaking is performed based on the relative approach degree of grey TOPSIS, the relative approach degree of grey incidence and the relative membership de...

We address in this paper automatic face verification from 3D (3-dimensional) facial surface and grey level analysis. 3D acquisition is performed by a structured light system, adapted to face capture and allowing grey level acquisition in alignment. The 3D facial shapes are compared and the residual error after 3D matching is used as a first similarity measure. A second similarity measure is der...

What is the minimum amount of information we must transmit along with greyscale values in order to recover a colour original from a grey image? The problem of colour quantization is one of long standing with, for example, a GIF file consisting of single-byte grey values (appropriately compressed using entropy coding) plus a 256×3 colour lookup table in the file header. That lookup table can be ...

this prioritization of the projects in the organization is a multi-criteria decision making (mcdm) that because of the uncertainties existing in experts judgments, these cannot be represented accurately with numbers. the scope of this research is the introduction of the grey system theory (grey possibility degree method) and application in ranking strategic organizational projects in an uncerta...

Because of the complexity of decision-making environment, the uncertainty of fuzziness and the uncertainty of grey maybe coexist in the problems of multi-attribute group decision making. In this paper, we study the problems of multi-attribute group decision making with hybrid grey attribute data (the precise values, interval numbers and linguistic fuzzy variables coexist, and each attribute val...

Magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate the influence of sex and brain size on compartmental brain volumes (grey matter, white matter, CSF) in a large and well-matched sample of neurologically normal women (n = 50) and men (n = 50). As expected, we found a significant sex difference for the absolute volumes of total brain, grey matter, white matter and CSF, with greater volumes for men....

If there are grey variables in the constraint conditions in uncertain programming, the programming is called grey chance constrained programming. In this paper we provide the concept of grey chance constrained programming. When the whitenization weight functions of grey variables are known and the distribution functions are constructed, we studied the certainty equivalence solution of grey chan...

This letter describes algorithms for global thresholding of grey-tone images which use second-order grey level statistics. Two measures of interaction between classes of intensity levels are defined on simple co-occurance matrices and are used to evaluate and select thresholds. One of these measures is seen to be independent of the grey level histogram and effective in selecting thresholds for ...

-This paper proposes a grey interval relation TOPSIS method for the decision making in which all of the attribute weights and attribute values are given by the interval grey numbers. In this paper, all of the subjective and objective weights are obtained by interval grey number and decision-making is based on four methods such as the relative approach degree of grey TOPSIS, the relative approac...
