Due to the rapid technological evolution and communications accessibility, data generated from different sources of information show an exponential growth behavior. That is, volume of data samples that need to be analyzed are getting larger, so the m...

Hazard evaluation generally defines the ranking of hazards in the work environment and ignores the interaction of hazards. This article aims to overcome this drawback using a fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) approach to analyze the interaction of hazards re...
There is a variety of fuzzy classifiers, one of which is Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) classifier. One of the main challenges in designing such data classifiers is selection of effective and appropriate type and location of membership...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for localization and segmentation of the optic disc in human retina images. This new approach can find the boundary of the optic disc by an initial fuzzy clustering means algorithm. The proposed approach uses...
Single-point incremental forming (SPIF) is a technology that allows incremental manufacturing of complex parts from a flat sheet using simple tools; further, this technology is flexible and economical. Measuring the forming force using this technolog...
When water and solutes enter the plant root through the epidermis, organic contaminants in solution either cross the root membranes and transport through the vascular pathways to the aerial tissues or accumulate in the plant roots. The accumulation o...
The molecular events leading to differentiation, development, and plasticity of lymphoid cells have been subject of intense research due to their key roles in multiple pathologies, such as lymphoproliferative disorders, tumor growth maintenance and c...
We propose a new method for generating synthetic CT images from modified Dixon (mDixon) MR data. The synthetic CT is used for attenuation correction (AC) when reconstructing PET data on abdomen and pelvis. While MR does not intrinsically contain any ...
GIS, geo-statistics and autocorrelation analysis were employed to reveal spatial structure of sedimentary ∑16PAHs. Global Moran's I index outlined significant ∑PAHs clusters for the entire region (Moran's I index =0.62, Z-score = 25.6). Anselin Moran...

Fuzzy inference systems have been frequently used in medical diagnosis for managing uncertainty sources in the medical images. In addition, fuzzy systems have high level of interpretability because of using linguistic terms for knowledge representati...
