BACKGROUND: Pressure sensors have been used for sleeping posture detection, which meet privacy requirements. Most of the existing techniques for sleeping posture recognition used force-sensitive resistor (FSR) sensors. However, lower limbs cannot be ...
Meningioma is the one of the most common type of brain tumor, it as arises from the meninges and encloses the spine and the brain inside the skull. It accounts for 30% of all types of brain tumor. Meningioma's can occur in many parts of the brain and...
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is widely used in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. Nevertheless, this technique suffers from two main problems in the case of partial shading conditions (PSCs). The first probl...
Higher life expectancy is increasing the number of age-related cognitive impairment cases. It is also relevant, as some authors claim, that physical exercise may be considered as an adjunctive therapy to improve cognition and memory after strokes. Th...
In this paper, an improved fuzzy connectedness (FC) method was proposed for automatic three-dimensional (3D) liver vessel segmentation in computed tomography (CT) images. The vessel-enhanced image (i.e., vesselness image) was incorporated into the fu...

In this paper, a cosine similarity measure between hybrid intuitionistic fuzzy sets is proposed. The aim of the paper is to investigate the cosine similarity measure with hybrid intuitionistic fuzzy information and apply it to medical diagnosis. Firs...
Prostate cancer (PC) is more common cancer in older men. Then, the existing evaluation method of PC risk grades is based on the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) staging/scoring system. It utilizes the comprehensive risk data of the prostate-...
