Fuzzy Logic Controllers may be considered as knowledge-based systems , incorporating human knowledge into their Knowledge Base through Fuzzy Rules and Fuzzy Membership Functions. The deenition of these Fuzzy Rules and Fuzzy Membership Functions is actually aaected by subjective decisions, having a great innuence over the performance of the Fuzzy Controller. In recent years, eeorts have been mad...

soil and land information is vital for land use planning and infrastructure development. maps of soils landscapes are powerful tools to guide sustainable planning and natural resource management. fuzzy set theory has been widely used in soil science for soil classification and mapping, land evaluation, fuzzy soil geostatistics, soil quality indices. in fuzzy logic-based approaches, soil spatial...

1. introduction isfahan oil refinery (isfahan, iran) is responsible for the production of huge amounts of oil waste. as the released organic compounds are highly toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, they can potentially contaminate the soil and groundwater resources of the adjacent area. this is particularly important in isfahan where arid/semi-arid climate has limited the access to adequate sur...

in this paper, a new approach is proposed in order to select an optimal membership function for inputs of wind speed prediction system. then using a fuzzy method and the stochastic characteristics of wind speed in the previous year, the wind speed modeling is performed and the wind speed for the future year will be predicted. in this proposed method, the average and the standard deviation of in...

Development of fuzzy ifthen rules and formation of membership functions are the important consideration in designing a fuzzy classifier system. This paper presents a Modified Genetic Algorithm (ModGA) approach to obtain the optimal rule set and the membership function for a fuzzy classifier. In the genetic population, the membership functions are represented using real numbers and the rule set ...

The paper presents a novel type of fuzzy sets, called time-Varying Fuzzy Sets (VFS). These fuzzy sets are based on the Gaussian membership functions, they are depended on the error and they are characterized by the displacement of the kernels to both right and left side of the universe of discourse, the two extremes kernels of the universe are fixed for all time. In this work we focus only on t...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...
