Here we consider approaches to the ranking of fuzzy numbers based upon the idea of associating with a fuzzy number a scalar value, its signal/noise ratios, where the signal and the noise are defined as the middle-point and the spread of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number, respectively. We use the value of a as the weight of the signal/noise ratio of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number to calcula...

Distinguishing productive zones of a drilled oil well plays a very important role for petroleum engineers to decide where to perforate to produce oil. Conventionally, net pay zones are determined by applying a set of cut-offs on perophysical logs. As a result, the conventional method finds productive intervals crisply. In this investigation, a net index value is proposed, then; diffusivity equa...

The max-k-cut problem is to partition the vertices of a weighted graph G = (V, E) into k ≥ 2 disjoint subsets such that the weight sum of the edges crossing the different subsets is maximized. The problem is referred as the max-cut problem when k = 2. In this work, we present a multiple operator heuristic (MOH) for the general max-k-cut problem. MOH employs five distinct search operators organi...

the effects of sodium chloride (nacl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 ds m-1), 2.5 dsm-1, 5.0 ds m-1, 7.5 ds m-1 and 10.0 ds m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (rosa hybrida l.) cultivars viz. ‘kardinal’, ‘angelique’ and ‘gold medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...

the notion of strong arcs in a fuzzy graph was introduced bybhutani and rosenfeld in [1] and fuzzy end nodes in the subsequent paper[2] using the concept of strong arcs. in mordeson and yao [7], the notion of“degrees” for concepts fuzzified from graph theory were defined and studied.in this note, we discuss degrees for fuzzy end nodes and study further someproperties of fuzzy end nodes and fuzz...

Background: We investigated whether the lungheart ratio parameter (LHR) can be used to identify the optimum cut off frequency for Butterworth filter in 99mTc myocardial SPECT imaging. Materials and Methods: This study involved a cardiac phantom system consisting of cardiac insert in which 1.10 cm cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μCi/ml (0.148 MBq/ml...

background: brucellosis is a world-wide disease, which has a diverse clinical manifestation, and its diagnosis has to be proven by laboratory data. serum agglutination test (sat) is the most-widely used test for diagnosing brucellosis. the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) can also determine specific antibody classes against brucella. it is a sensitive, simple and rapid test, which coul...

In the construction process of a plastic concrete cut-off wall, concreting is usually performed using the termie pipe method. In this method, concreting is performed from the lowest point in the excavated trench (containing the slurry) using a funnel and the pipe connected to it. The concrete poured in the funnel gradually settles in the panel through the termie pipe which is beneath the slurry...

e∈F x(e). M denotes the set of all perfect matchings of G. χ denotes the incidence vector of M . Cuts: A cut of G is a subset of E that is the coboundary ∂(S) of some subset S of V . For a cut C := ∂(S), S and S are the shores of C. A cut is trivial if one of its shores is a singleton. A cut is odd if both its shores have odd cardinality. Note: This is the notation used in Bondy and Murty’s boo...
