this paper presents a combination of data envelopment analysis (dea) and principal component analysis (pca) to reduce the dimensionality of data set. dea is known as effective tool for assessment and benchmarking. the weak point of dea, it is that the number of efficient dmus relies on the number of variables (inputs and outputs). for solving this, first, we do principal component analysis (pca...

This work describes the purification and characterization of propionicin F, the first bacteriocin isolated from Propionibacterium freudenreichii. The bacteriocin has a bactericidal activity and is only active against strains of P. freudenreichii. Propionicin F appears to be formed through a processing pathway new to bacteriocins. The mass of the purified bacteriocin was determined by mass spect...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy obstinate ideals in MV -algebras. Some properties of fuzzy obstinateideals are given. Not only we give some characterizations of fuzzy obstinate ideals, but also bring the extension theorem of fuzzy obstinate ideal of an MV -algebra A. We investigate the relationships between fuzzy obstinate ideals and the other fuzzy ideals of an MV -algebra. We ...

Fuzzy Answer Set Programming (FASP) combines the nonmonotonic reasoning typical of Answer Set Programming with the capability of Fuzzy Logic to deal with imprecise information and paraconsistent reasoning. In the context of paraconsistent reasoning, the fundamental principle of minimal undefinedness states that truth degrees close to 0 and 1 should be preferred to those close to 0.5, to minimiz...

As with any other multivariate statistical method, Principal Components Analysis is sensitive to outliers, missing data, and poor linear correlation between variables due to poorly distributed variables. As a result data transformations have a large impact upon PCA. This paper introduces a powerful approach to improve PCA: robust fuzzy PCA algorithm (FPCA). The matrix data is fuzzified, thus di...

This paper advances a fuzzy control strategy of the phase angle between the voltage and the current of a variable RL load using the system introduced in [3]. This control method is-easy to adapt for performance The paper presents a practical implementation of a fuzzy controller for the control of an induction motor. control of power factor in a circuit with variable inductive load using a switc...

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution to the impulsive fuzzy functional differential equations under generalized Hukuhara differentiability via the principle of contraction mappings. Some examples are provided to illustrate the result.

Present paper derives fuzzy economic models to evaluate the economic feasibility of information security investment. The Net Present Value (NPV), and discounted Return on Investment (dRoI) models are proposed for the execution of costbenefit analysis. Since fuzzy results are in the form of a complex nonlinear representation, and do not always provide a totally ordered set in the same way that c...
