This article is a critical review of some of the methods that have been used for the sampling, analysis, and monitoring of vapor-phase toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Only some of the methods that have received relatively widespread application have been addressed in this article. This review includes a "tutorial style" discussion of basic definitions and basic principles and procedures of quality ...

Purpose Respiratory motion prediction is a chaotic time series prediction problem. In this study, respiratory motion predictability from 12 traces from breast cancer patients is examined by using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Interval Type-2 Non Singleton Fuzzy System (IT2NSFLS). Methods Free breathing data curves were obtained from Real Time Position Management system (RPM ...

6 ABSTRACT Fuzzy logic plays an important role in the field of medicine. Many diseases are diagnosed using fuzzy logic. Heart disease is the number one killer to the human community throughout the world. This study was conducted to diagnosis the heart disease among the patients. The components of this study are Fuzzification, Generating rules for Advanced Fuzzy Resolution Mechanism and defuzzif...

This paper presents a fuzzy, non-linear similarity measure designed for a clinical casebased reasoning system in radiotherapy treatment planning. The developed fuzzy similarity measure takes into account the distribution of attribute similarity values in the case base to ensure that the numerical values of the similarity between individual attributes are comparable and can be combined to give t...

This paper discusses two topics on fuzzy random variables in decision making. One is a new evaluation method of fuzzy random variables, and the other is to present a mathematical model in financial engineering by fuzzy random variables. The evaluation method is introduced as mean values defined by fuzzy measures, and it is also applicable to fuzzy numbers and fuzzy stochastic process defined by...

In this paper is shown that the probability-statistic methods application, especially at the early stage of the aviation gas turbine engine (GTE) technical condition diagnosing, when the flight information has property of the fuzzy, limitation and uncertainty is unfounded. Hence is considered the efficiency of application of new technology Soft Computing at these diagnosing stages with the usin...

In this paper we propose computationally simple, pointwise formulas for extended t-norms and t-conorms on fuzzy truth values. The complex convolutions of the extended operations are shown to be equivalent to simple pointwise expressions for several special cases. Linear fuzzy truth values are defined and it is shown that the extended Łukasiewicz operations preserve linearity. Since linear fuzzy...

many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

In the formal and fully graded setting of Fuzzy Class Theory (or higher-order fuzzy logic) we make an initial investigation into basic notions of fuzzy topology. In particular we study graded notions of fuzzy topology regarded as a fuzzy system of open or closed fuzzy sets and as a fuzzy system of fuzzy neighborhoods. We show their basic graded properties and mutual relationships provable in Fu...

This paper presents a fuzzy approach to the identification of organizational values and culture. The proposed approach has been developed from crisp assessment methods in the literature and has been applied to the Industrial Engineering Department (IED) at a state university in Turkey. Highly subjective judgments and ambiguity regarding the presence of values and the culture type of the organiz...
