Background: The cardiovascular diseases are one of the primary causes of total mortality in India. However, systematic population based data related cardiovascular risk factors are very scanty in Punjab state of India. Therefore, present study was undertaken to analyze cardiovascular risk factors among females of Brahmin and Jat sikh population using principal component analysis (PCFA). It has ...

Abstract We study the concept of reversibility in connection with parallel communicating systems finite automata (PCFA short). define notion case PCFA (also covering non-deterministic case) and discuss relationship its components. show that a system can be reversible non-reversible components, other way around, components does not necessarily imply as whole. also investigate computational power...

Data deals with the specific problem of partitioning a group of objects into a fixed number of subsets, so that the similarity of the objects in each subset is increased and the similarity across subsets is reduced. Several algorithms have been proposed in the literature for clustering, where k-means clustering and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering are the two popular algorithms for partitioning t...

Electronic voting, or e-voting, is a relatively closed process that contains inherent risks associated with the potential for voting irregularities, translation errors, and inappropriate manipulation (Oravec, 2005). To develop a greater understanding of trust issues surrounding the use of e-voting, an investigation into the public trust and the relationship between trust and electronic voting t...

BACKGROUND Several studies hinted about the clustering of risk variables of the metabolic syndrome (MS) and suggested that the underlying genetic polymorphisms could be responsible for the increasing incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in people of Indian origin. Therefore, identification of the components of the MS along with the genetic factors could be one of the aspects to make an att...

Background: The objective of the present study was to compare the relationship of anthropometric and physiometric characteristics using principal component factor analysis among three groups of type 2 diabetic subjects such as males, preand post-menopausal females in North Indian Punjabi population. Method: A total of 349 type 2 diabetic subjects (males 157; females 192; 88 preand 104 post-meno...

BACKGROUND Clustering of risk variables associated with the metabolic syndrome (MS) begins before the onset of menopause. However, studies of the factors underlying this clustering have focused on only postmenopausal women. AIM The present community-based, cross-sectional investigation was aimed at identifying the principal components of risk variables associated with the metabolic syndrome i...

The quality of surface mount technology (SMT) product solder joint was key factor for SMT products. In this paper, for chip components, a fuzzy fault diagnosis principle of SMT products was analyzed. And the total framework of fault diagnosis system was built based on solder joint shape theory. Geometrical shape parameters which reflected chip components solder joint quality were analyzed and d...

background and objectives: evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective managementof health settings. certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible,calling for use of uncertainty theory. this study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independentcomponent analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate the...
