Granular computing has been applied in many fields to solve problems and describe many spaces at different granularity and hierarchies. This paper proposes a rule generation approach based on granular computing in the frame of rough mereology. The proposed approaches generates a single rule granule from granular space in each step instead of selecting a suitable attribute according to some meas...

PURPOSE To report a case of granular cell tumor as a rare orbital pathology. CASE REPORT A 50-year-old female presented with a 4-year history of diplopia, right ocular displacement and a firm nontender mass in her right lower lid. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbit disclosed a well-defined mass in the right inferior orbit involving the right inferior rectus. Subtotal excision of the m...

Experimental and numerical tests of the trap-door problem have been carried out, involving several granular materials. Three phases have been observed in the load transfer mechanism, as the trap-door is moved downward. The classical pattern for the description of this type of problem (a vertical plane of failure at each edge of the trap-door) corresponds to the third phase observed. The previou...

The author reviews the theoretical and empirical literature to examine the traditional perception that the following trade-off exists between economic efficiency and stability in the banking system: a competitive banking system is more efficient and therefore important to growth, but market power is necessary for stability in the banking system. That this trade-off exists is not clear. Market p...

in this study, we offer a general view at the area of fuzzy modeling and fuzzymodels, identify the visible development phases and elaborate on a new and promisingdirections of system modeling by introducing a concept of granular models. granularmodels, especially granular fuzzy models constitute an important generalization of existingfuzzy models and, in contrast to the existing models, generat...

Three different formulations of Bacillus sphaericus viz, Spherimos, Vectobac and Spherifix, were evaluated for their efficacy and residual activity against Culex quinquefasciatus breeding in polluted disused wells. Spherimos, a flowable concentrate formulation, exerted 96-100% control when treated at the dosage of 10 l/ha for 17 days, whereas the effective residual activity lasted up to 67 days...

Heterogeneity of granular materials triggers shear zone formation. In the paper, the FE-analysis of the effect of the material heterogeneity on the formation of a spontaneous shear zone inside of granular materials during a plane strain compression test is presented. The numerical calculations are performed with a finite element method on the basis of a hypoplastic constitutive law extended by ...
