چکیده

This position statement originated from a working group meeting convened on April 15, 2015, by the NHLBI and incorporates follow-up contributions by the participants as well as other thought leaders subsequently consulted, who together represent research fields relevant to all branches of the NIH. The group was deliberately composed not only of individuals with a current research emphasis in the glycosciences, but also of many experts from other fields, who evinced a strong interest in being involved in the discussions. The original goal was to discuss the value of creating centers of excellence for training the next generation of biomedical investigators in the glycosciences. A broader theme that emerged was the urgent need to bring the glycosciences back into the mainstream of biology by integrating relevant education into the curricula of medical, graduate, and postgraduate training programs, thus generating a critical sustainable workforce that can advance the much-needed translation of glycosciences into a more complete understanding of biology and the enhanced practice of medicine.

Improvement of Rule Generation Methods for Fuzzy Controller

This paper proposes fuzzy modeling using obtained data. Fuzzy system is known as knowledge-based or rule-bases system. The most important part of fuzzy system is rule-base. One of problems of generation of fuzzy rule with training data is inconsistence data. Existence of inconsistence and uncertain states in training data causes high error in modeling. Here, Probability fuzzy system presents to...
