Introduction Bacterial meningitis is a known infectious disease which occurs at early ages and should be promptly diagnosed and treated. Bacterial and aseptic meningitis are hard to be distinguished. Therefore, physicians should be highly informed and experienced in this area. The main aim of this study was to suggest a system for distinguishing between bacterial and aseptic meningitis, using f...

Localization is a fundamental problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and is more challenging in the mobile sensor network than in the static sensor network. In a system formed by hundreds of sensors deployed in a large area, it is important to know the position of each sensor. This information can be calculated using either of the several localization algorithms. This paper proposed a novel...

Contract bridge occupies nowadays a position of great prestige being, together with chess, the only mind sports officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee. In the present paper an innovative method for assessing the total performance of bridge-players’ belonging to groups of special interest (e.g. different bridge clubs during a tournament, men and women, new and old players, ...

Conclusions This paper uses a fuzzy linesegment method to calculate the fuzzy unreliability of a system when only discrete-interval probabilities of stress & strength inside an interference region are available. The discrete-interval probabilities are treated as fuzzy numbers. A stress-strength interference model and extended operations of fuzzy numbers are used to calculate the fuzzy unreliabi...

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...

This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model for z-numbers using intuitive vectorial centroid. There are two novelty discuss here: 1) development of intuitive vectorial centroid defuzzification and; 2) development of hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model based on consistent fuzzy preference relations and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity ...

This paper addresses the problem of trajectory tracking control in an autonomous, wheeled, mobile robot of unicycle type using Fuzzy Logic. The Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) is based on a backstepping approach to ensure asymptotic stabilization of the robot’s position and orientation around the desired trajectory, taking into account the kinematics and dynamics of the vehicle. We use the Mamdani in...
