In conventional shortest path problems, it is assumed that decision maker is certain about the parameters (distance, time etc.) between different nodes. But in real life situations, there always exist uncertainty about the parameters between different nodes. In such cases, the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers. In this paper the shortcomings of the existing algorithm are pointed out a...

Efforts to automatically extract salient features from rich media documents (audio, video, still images, speech, etc.) have been underway and maturing for the last 15 to 20 years; longer than that if you consider speech recognition research. However, there is still a paucity of real world applications that leverage the technology, and scaling the technology for situations “outside the lab” have...

The demand and growth for published research in the field of multiple sclerosis (MS) has increased exponentially over the last few years. The primary aim of the Multiple Sclerosis Journal (MSJ) has always been to reflect the excellent work of the ever-expanding and diverse clinical and research field of MS, and this role will now be shared by MSJ’s companion journal MSJ Experimental, Translatio...

In this contribution we define a new class of non-linear integrals based on decomposition integrals. These integrals are motivated by greediness of many real-life situations. Another view on this new class of integrals is that it is a generalization of both the Shilkret and PAN integrals. Moreover, it can be seen as an iterated Shilkret integral. Also, an example in time-series analysis is prov...

Laser scanners are used more and more as surveying instruments for various applications. With the advance of high precision systems, capable of working in most real world environments under a variety of conditions, numerous applications have opened up. In the field of surveying laser scanners open up a new dimension with data capturing. Different industrial sectors require precise data of the e...

â â â  today, domicile is not only considered as the shelter but also is the security and capital resource among the inhabitants of a city. this problem which has an important role in cites formation caused many problems in view point of social indices. for example , the substructure area becomes smaller , room shortage in a residential building, per capita shortage of a person area in a house ...

in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear bilevel programming (fflblp) problems by representing all the parameters as triangular fuzzy numbers. in the proposed method, the given fflblp problem is decomposed into three crisp linear programming (clp) problems with bounded variables constraints, the three clp problems are solved separately and...

The Kohonen Self Organizing Map (SOM) is an unsupervised neural network method with a competitive learning strategy which has both clustering and visualization properties. Interval-valued data arise in practical situations such as recording monthly interval temperatures at meteorological stations, daily interval stock prices, etc. Batch SOM algorithms based on adaptive and non-adaptive city-blo...

In this article we present an approach for tackling three important aspects of text normalization: sentence boundary disambiguation, disambiguation of capitalized words in positions where capitalization is expected, and identification of abbreviations. As opposed to the two dominant techniques of computing statistics or writing specialized grammars, our document-centered approach works by consi...

The immune microenvironment is considered a major obstacle to generating an effective antitumor immune response. Checkpoint inhibitors manipulate the co-stimulatory response between antigen-presenting cells and immune cells-or between the tumor and immune cells-to elicit an antitumor immune response that would have otherwise been suppressed. Checkpoint inhibitors have shown great promise in the...
