In this paper, a novel method for ranking of fuzzy numbers are proposed. In this method, decision maker is defined based on the center of mass at some cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in discreet version and center of mass on all of cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in continuous version. Our method can rank more than two fuzzy numbers simultaneously. Also, some properties of methods are described...

This paper examines the properties of metadata in the form of IF THEN rules which contain two predicates on attributes of a relational database table. For example: a(15 .. 30) ⇒ d(243 .. 271), which means "if the value of attribute 'a' in a tuple is in the range 15 to 30 then the value of attribute 'd' will be in the range 243 to 271." Metadata of this kind is useful in Semantic Query Optimisat...

Knowing the degree of antonymy between words has widespread applications in natural language processing. Manually-created lexicons have limited coverage and do not include most semantically contrasting word pairs. We present a new automatic and empirical measure of antonymy that combines corpus statistics with the structure of a published thesaurus. The approach is evaluated on a set of closest...

Kinematic simulations of turbulent pair diffusion in planar turbulence with a k(-5/3) energy spectrum reproduce the laboratory results of Jullien et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2872 (1999)]], in particular the stretched exponential form of the probability density function of pair separations and their correlation functions. The root mean square separation is found to be strongly dependent on init...

A SiGe HMOSFET can be engineered to provide enhanced linearity in its output current-voltage characteristics. The additional linearity can be exploited in the design of more linear analogue circuits like the differential pair presented here. From the TCAD data of such a structure, the BSIM3v3 model of the transistor was extracted and simulation results were obtained for the performance of a dif...

Sudoku has risen in popularity over the past few years. The rules are simple, yet the solutions are often less than trivial. Mathematically, these puzzles are interesting in their own right. This paper will generalize the idea of a sudoku puzzle to define a new kind of n× n array. We define a latin square of order n as an n×n array where every row and every column contain every symbol 1, 2, . ....

Frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry, a concept that has emerged in the last decade, presents unique systems capable of metal-free hydrogenation by using simple combinations of cooperative main group element components. This finding is particularly interesting given that hydrogenation is a chemical reaction that is performed on a huge scale worldwide with current technologies relying on metal-...

1 Background Learning in small groups is deemed highly effective. Given this observation, pair programming appears to be a natural setting for learning how to program. However, even in groups learning takes considerable time and pair programming has some prerequisites that are not easily met, not even in a university setting: it requires suitable facilities where students can work on a computer...
