BACKGROUND Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may cause subtle changes in left atrium (LA) structure and function which may not be readily detected by conventional parameters. AIM To explore the relationship between PVCs and LA shape and size remodelling in patients without known structural heart disease. METHODS PVC frequency per 24 h was divided into tertiles. Echocardiographic mea...

In this paper, we want represented a method for ranking of two exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. A median value is proposed for the ranking of exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. For the validation the results of the proposed approach are compared with different existing approaches.

In this paper, we want proposed a new method for ranking in areas of two generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. A simpler and easier approach is proposed for the ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. For the confirmation this results, we compared with different existing approaches. 2010 AMS CLASSIFICATION: 47S20, 03E72.

A new block method of order two for the numerical solution of initial value problems is derived. This method is similar to the block Trapezoidal rule [12] , where the low power of the block size appear in the principal local truncation error. Direct comparison with result relating to the block Trapezoidal rule results obtained in [1] is made.

We present a construction and basic properties of a class of continuous distributions of an arbitrary form defined on a compact (bounded) set by concatenating in a continuous manner three probability density functions with bounded support using a modified mixture technique. These three distributions may represent growth, stability and decline stages of a physical or mental phenomenon.

Fuzzy Newton-Cotes method for integration of fuzzy functions that was proposed by Ahmady in [1]. In this paper we construct error estimate of fuzzy Newton-Cotes method such as fuzzy Trapezoidal rule and fuzzy Simpson rule by using Taylor's series. The corresponding error terms are proven by two theorems. We prove that the fuzzy Trapezoidal rule is accurate for fuzzy polynomial of degree one and...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

The diffraction efficiency behavior of reflection gratings with an asymmetrical trapezoidal groove profile has been studied. Theoretical calculations predict that at certain grating parameters superior efficiency compared to the conventional ruled gratings can be achieved.

We prove a Murnaghan–Nakayama rule for k-Schur functions of Lapointe and Morse. That is, we give an explicit formula for the expansion of the product of a power sum symmetric function and a k-Schur function in terms of k-Schur functions. This is proved using the noncommutative k-Schur functions in terms of the nilCoxeter algebra introduced by Lam and the affine analogue of noncommutative symmet...
