as a generalization of the triple i method, the universal triple imethod is investigated from the viewpoints of both fuzzy reasoningand fuzzy controller. the universal triple i principle is putforward, which improves the previous triple i principle. then,unified form of universal triple i method is established based onthe (0,1)-implication or r-implication. moreover, the reversibilityproperty o...

We extend the notion of semigroup compactification to the class of transformation semigroups, and determine the compactifications which are universal with respect to some topological properties.

The growing need for valid assessment procedures of the outdoor thermal environment in the fields of public weather services, public health systems, urban planning, tourism & recreation and climate impact research raised the idea to develop the Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI based on the most recent scientific progress both in thermo-physiology and in heat exchange theory. Following exten...

The reflectance properties of leaves are influenced by diverse biochemical components including chlorophyll, one of the key indicators related to plant photosynthesis and plant stress. Although a number of hyperspectral indices have been proposed for quantifying leaf chlorophyll concentrations, their applications are largely restricted to where they were developed and can hardly provide satisfa...

     Drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. It is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. In many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. Geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of v...
