In this work, we shall present some novel process to measure the similarity between picture fuzzy sets. Firstly, we adopt the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and picture fuzzy sets. Secondly, we develop some similarity measures between picture fuzzy sets, such as, cosine similarity measure, weighted cosine similarity measure, set-theoretic similar...

results significantly high levels of radon gas were found mostly in water and residential buildings. conclusions it conclusion with regard to the study of building materials, granite stone and adobe coverings cannot be recommended for construction purposes. materials and methods the most important route of exposure to such radiation is indoor places. in this investigation measurement of radon i...

results in terms of radon and thoron emissions, travertine and plaster were found to be the most appropriate and inappropriate covering for walls, respectively. furthermore, granite and travertine were discovered to be inappropriate materials for flooring, while plastic floor covering was found suitable. natural ventilation performed better for radon, while artificial ventilation worked better ...

while in the historic urban fabric of iran's cities, there are numerous traditional buildings that have stood up for more than one hundred years, today's buildings, in spite of advanced construction technologies, are not comparable with those traditional ones in terms of resiliency and durability. the sustainable vernacular strategies in design and construction of these traditional ho...

Speaker recognition is usually accomplished by building a set of models from speech of a known speaker, training data, and subsequently using a pattern matching algorithm to score the speech from an unknown speaker, test data. In this paper we discard the notion of train and test data in speaker recognition and introduce the multilateral scoring technique. This technique comprises building spea...

DNA, apart from being a natural biological information carrier, has also been recognized as a useful building material in the field of nanotechnology. Its miniature scale, geometric properties, and molecular recognition capacity make DNA an appealing candidate for the construction of novel nanomaterials. Here we summarize the latest developments and describe the challenges and emerging applicat...

The improved ground resolution of state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors suggests utilizing SAR data for the analysis of urban areas. Building recognition however suffers from the consequences of the inherent side-looking viewing geometry of SAR, particularly occlusion and layover hinder the analysis. Usually extracted layover regions are not considered further in the recogniti...
