in this paper, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy mapping as a generalization of fuzzy mapping is presented, and its' relationship with intuitionistic fuzzy relations is derived. moreover, some basicoperations of intuitionistic fuzzy mappings are defined, hence we can conclude that all of intuitionistic fuzzy mappings constitute a soft algebrawith respect to these operations. afterwards, the a...

The aim of this study is to identify, clone and express a Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis specific immunogenic antigen candidate, in order to develop better reagents for diagnosis and vaccines for the protection of the host. Therefore, MAP2191 gene (a member of MAPmce5 operon) from MAP, was isolated and characterized by Bioinformatics tools and <e...

In this paper, a novel image compression scheme based on the moment preserving block truncation coding (MPBTC) scheme is proposed. In this scheme, three techniques are employed to cut down the bit rate of moment preserving block truncation coding. They are the two-dimensional prediction technique, the bit map omission technique, and the bit map coding using edge patterns. According to the exper...

Point pattern analysis of forest inventory stem-maps may aid interpretation and inventory estimation of forest attributes. To evaluate the techniques and benefits of conducting point pattern analysis of forest inventory stem-maps, Ripley’s K(t) was calculated for simulated tree spatial distributions and for over 600 USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots in Minnesota and ...

We study a discretization technique for the parabolic fractional obstacle problem in bounded domains. The fractional Laplacian is realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a nonuniformly elliptic equation posed on a semi-infinite cylinder, which recasts our problem as a quasi-stationary elliptic variational inequality with a dynamic boundary condition. The rapid decay of the solution suggest...

A novel color image compression scheme based on block truncation coding is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, the quadtree segmentation technique is employed to partition the color image into variable-sized image blocks according to its block activities. Then, the block truncation coding scheme with the bit map omission technique is employed to encode the image blocks. According to the exp...

The solution of unbounded Helmholtz problems is the subject of substantial research. If these problems are to be solved using a domain-based discretisation technique like the finite element method (FEM), the computational domain has to be truncated to a bounded region. The unbounded nature of the problem exterior to this truncation is simulated by an appropriate condition on the truncation. A c...
