In this study, current of seafarers is examined by using observation-based subjective measures. Materials methods: The workplaces 70 crew members 11 container ships were analysed evaluated objective instrument situational screening mental workload (SMW-S). addition, standardised i...

This paper presents a multiresolution adaptive vector quantization and perceptual based multiview image coding scheme. It decorrelates the input views into a number of subbands using a lifting based wavelet transform. The coefficients in the same subbands of different views are divided into vectors and then joined together. The resulting vectors are then vector quantized using an adaptive vecto...

Recent research is recognizing that multiple criteria analysis should take account of the concepts of uncertainty and risk. In some cases, precise determination of the exact value of alternatives and weights of criteria is difficult. Consequently, to deal with these potential problems, their values are regarded as fuzzy and intervals. This paper proposes an interval-valued fuzzy multiple criter...
