Transparent control independence (TCI)

Target Controlled Infusion (TCI)

Girth, minimum degree, independence, and broadcast independence

An independent broadcast on a connected graph $G$is a function $f:V(G)to mathbb{N}_0$such that, for every vertex $x$ of $G$, the value $f(x)$ is at most the eccentricity of $x$ in $G$,and $f(x)>0$ implies that $f(y)=0$ for every vertex $y$ of $G$ within distance at most $f(x)$ from $x$.The broadcast independence number $alpha_b(G)$ of $G$is the largest weight $sumlimits_{xin V(G)}f(x)$of an ind...

A psychometric evaluation of the revised Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-R) and the TCI-140.

The psychometric properties of the newest version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (the TCI-R) were evaluated in a large (n = 727) community sample, as was the TCI-140, a short inventory derivative. Facets-to-scale confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses of the TCI-R did not support the organization of temperament and character facet scales within their superordinate domains. Fiv...

Transparent Fuzzy Systems in Modelling and Control

First fuzzy controllers based on Zadeh's studies [1] of human-machine interaction, were simple expert systems designed on the basis of human operator experience as, for example, the steam engine controller of Mamdani and Assilian [2]. Although this approach has produced many successful applications e.g. [3], the common complaint is that the design procedure relies heavily on human judgement and...
