Fuzzy Analysis of Students' Ratings.

Evaluation review
BACKGROUND: Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) represent a methodology for quantifying latent variables in questionnaire analysis through membership and non-membership functions, which are linked by an uncertainty function.

Robot deployment in long-term care : Case study on using a mobile robot to support physiotherapy.

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: Healthcare systems in industrialized countries face the challenge of providing care for a growing number of elderly people. Information technology has the possibility of facilitating this process by providing support for nursing staff and...

[Should assistive robots have a "personality"? : Potential of simplified robot personalities].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: In the European Union (EU) research project "HOBBIT" prototypes of assistive robots were developed in order to support a more secure and independent life style and trials were run at the homes of elderly users.

DIY-Bio - economic, epistemological and ethical implications and ambivalences.

Life sciences, society and policy
Since 2008, we witness the emergence of the Do-It-Yourself Biology movement, a global movement spreading the use of biotechnology beyond traditional academic and industrial institutions and into the lay public. Practitioners include a broad mix of am...

Estimation of NMVOC emissions using artificial neural networks and economical and sustainability indicators as inputs.

Environmental science and pollution research international
This paper describes the development of an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on economical and sustainability indicators for the prediction of annual non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) emissions in China for the period 2005-201...

Comparison of Support-Vector Machine and Sparse Representation Using a Modified Rule-Based Method for Automated Myocardial Ischemia Detection.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
An automatic method is presented for detecting myocardial ischemia, which can be considered as the early symptom of acute coronary events. Myocardial ischemia commonly manifests as ST- and T-wave changes on ECG signals. The methods in this study are ...

Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional, epidemiological study sought to assess the prevalence and extent of potential risk factors for hypertension, particularly renal function related to haematuria and their associations in people with haem...

Thirty years of artificial intelligence in medicine (AIME) conferences: A review of research themes.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND: Over the past 30 years, the international conference on Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine (AIME) has been organized at different venues across Europe every 2 years, establishing a forum for scientific exchange and creating an active res...

Modeling of ammonia emission in the USA and EU countries using an artificial neural network approach.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Ammonia emissions at the national level are frequently estimated by applying the emission inventory approach, which includes the use of emission factors, which are difficult and expensive to determine. Emission factors are therefore the subject of es...
