The Mamdani and TSK fuzzy models are fuzzy inference engines which have been most widely applied in real-world problems. Compared to the Mamdani approach, the TSK approach is more convenient when the crisp outputs are required. Common to both approaches, when a given observation does not overlap with any rule antecedent in the rule base (which usually termed as a sparse rule base), no rule can ...

Heat stress and hydration may both alter plasma volume (PV) responses during acute exercise; potential interactions have not been fully studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of graded elevations in skin temperature (Tsk) on PV changes during steady-state exercise under conditions of euhydration (EU) and hypohydration (HYPO, -4% of body mass). Thirty-two men (22 ± 4 yr) ...

conclusions there were significant distinctions in the skin temperature distribution during exercise according to the activity of the area under consideration during exercise, which may be important in the development of physiological models and heat flux analyses for different purposes. results during pre-exercise, all tsk reached a steady-state (p ≤ 0.05), which ensured adequate thermal stabi...

The purpose of this study was to qualitatively evaluate patients understanding and interpretation of the wording used in test items of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK). The TSK was developed to measure fear of movement in patients suffering from low back pain. The TSK is being increasingly used for other pain conditions. Patients with sub-acute neck pain experience problems while completi...

Anthropogenic noise has a negative impact on a variety of animals. However, many bat species roost in places with high levels of anthropogenic noise. Here, we tested the hypothesis that torpid bats are insensitive to anthropogenic noise. In a laboratory experiment, we recorded skin temperature (Tsk) of bats roosting individually that were subjected to playbacks of different types of noise. We f...

QUESTION In people with sciatica in primary care, can a single question be used to predict outcome at 1 year followup as accurately as validated questionnaires on kinesiophobia, disability, and health-related quality of life? DESIGN Observational study within a randomised cohort. PARTICIPANTS 135 people with sciatica in primary care. OUTCOME MEASURES Kinesiophobia was measured with the Ta...

OBJECTIVES Nitric oxide (*NO) is an important physiological signalling molecule and a potent vasodilator. We have previously demonstrated abnormal *NO metabolism in the plasma of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma), a disease that features vascular dysfunction as well as collagen overproduction and fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to examine nitric oxide synthase (NOS)...

in this paper, a theorem is derived for the existence of a common quadratic Lyapunov function for stability analysis of TSK fuzzy model. This paper proposed a new method based on stochastic stability. In this paper we study the stochastic stability properties of certain TSK Fuzzy system has been studied.
