Lightweight concrete (LWC) is a kind of concrete that made of lightweight aggregates or gas bubbles. These aggregates could be natural or artificial, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete is the most interesting lightweight concrete and has good mechanical properties. Bulk density of this kind of concrete is between 300-2000 kg/m3. In this paper flexural strength of EPS is modeled...

Terrorism has led to many problems in Thai societies, not only property damage but also civilian casualties. Predicting terrorism activities in advance can help prepare and manage risk from sabotage by these activities. This paper proposes a framework focusing on event classification in terrorism domain using fuzzy inference systems (FISs). Each FIS is a decisionmaking model combining fuzzy log...

Project Goals • "Fuzzy" Navigation • Physically and Visually Intuitive • Large Libraries A traditional music library system controlled by a mouse and keyboard is precise, allowing users to select their desired song. Alternatively, randomized playlist or shuffles are used when users have no particular music in mind. We present a new interface and visualization system called Strike-A-Tune for fuz...

Enabling information and knowledge to the right people in right time increases productivity and effectiveness of the decisions made. This article describes design for an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based decision support system along with fuzzy user interface based on type-2 fuzzy sets. The system supports beneficiaries to select suitable course/curriculum. The major criteria for making suc...

introduction: studies have indicated a global high prevalence of hospital malnutrition on admission and during hospitalization. clinical nutritional risk screen (cnrs) is a way to identify malnutrition and manage nutritional interventions. several traditional and non-computer based tools have been suggested for screening nutritional risk levels. the present study was an attempt to employ a comp...

In this paper some problems arising in the interface between two different areas, Decision Support Systems and Fuzzy Sets and Systems, are considered. The Model-Base Management System of a Decision Support System which involves some fuzziness is considered, and in that context the questions on the management of the fuzziness in some optimisation models, and then of using fuzzy rules for termina...

in this paper we present a method for solving fuzzy linear systemsby two crisp linear systems. also necessary and sufficient conditions for existenceof solution are given. some numerical examples illustrate the efficiencyof the method.

Managers, in today's corporations, rely increasingly on the use of databases to obtain insights and updated information to make their decisions. This paper describes a flexible query interface based on fuzzy logic. Hence, queries in natural language with pre-defined syntactical structures are performed, and the system uses a fuzzy natural language process to provide answers. This process uses t...

This paper presents the development and design of a graphical user interface and a command line programming toolbox for construction, edition and observation of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Inference Systems. The Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System Toolbox (IT2FLS), is an environment for interval type-2 fuzzy logic inference system development. Tools that cover the different phases of the fuzzy system ...
