BACKGROUND Recent obesity prevention initiatives focus on healthy neighborhood design, but most research examines neighborhood food retail and physical activity (PA) environments in isolation. We estimated joint, interactive, and cumulative impacts of neighborhood food retail and PA environment characteristics on body mass index (BMI) throughout early adulthood. METHODS AND FINDINGS We used c...

This paper presents a general framework for the study of rough fuzzy sets in which fuzzy sets are approximated in a crisp approximation space. By the constructive approach, a pair of lower and upper generalized rough fuzzy approximation operators is first defined. The rough fuzzy approximation operators are represented by a class of generalized crisp approximation operators. Properties of rough...

In this paper, we introduce some properties of an intuitionistic normal fuzzy m-subgroup of m- group with m-homomorphism and isomorphism. We study he image, the pre-image and the inverse mapping of the intuitionistic normal fuzzy m-‎subgroups.‎

A novel fuzzy cellular automata is proposed to simulate bone degradation during osteoporosis. The initial three-dimensional (3D) microstructure obtained from computed tomography (CT) images. Cellular algorithm implemented the 3D lattice and a Sugeno Fuzzy inference system designed with nine sets of rules process. distance vector parameter defined describe number neighborhood cells that each cel...

Tracking of a square trajectory 12.6 m x 12.6 m by a two-link flexible robot manipulator is performed repetitively for both inverse dynamics control (IDC) and fuzzy logic control (FLC). Repetitive learning inverse dynamics control (RLIDC) achieves no improvement in tracking but repetitive learning fuzzy logic control (RLFLC) achieves greater precision where cyclic tracking enables the fuzzy inf...

A preconditioned Jacobi (PJ) method is provided for solving fuzzy linear systems whose coefficient matrices are crisp M matrices and the right-hand side columns are arbitrary fuzzy number vectors. The iterative algorithm is given for the preconditioned Jacobi method. The convergence is analyzed with convergence theorems. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the procedure and show the effe...

Temperature and humidity are two highly coupled variables in a control system, which need to be decoupled for effective control. Moreover, the coupling problem may get more severe and the two control loops may produce a strong interference to each other that can cause system instability when the humidity is measured by dry-and-wet bulb method. In this study, a control method based on fuzzy-neur...
