pomegranate fruit maturity status is commonly assessed based on external (skin) colour, juice colour and acidity of juice. some researchers have studied the correlation between the parameters of the skin colour and acidity, total soluble solids, citric acid and anthocyanins. this study describes the relationship existing between solar radiation and a colorimetric maturity index in the pomegrana...

The applicability of Net Present Value (NPV) in an investment project is becoming more and more popular in the field of engineering economics. The classical NPV methodology involves only the precise and accurate data of the investment project. In the present communication, we give a new mathematical model for NPV which uses the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set theory. The proposed model is b...

An adaptive fuzzy gain scheduling scheme for robotic arm has been proposed. This paper focus on adaptive fuzzy based tracking and gain controller algorithm for obtaining the joints position relative to the desired trajectory, which drives static and different time variations on the environmental changes. We able to estimate them at any point of time, when t >0 or alternatively, starting from th...

Nowadays, prediction of corporate bankruptcy is one of the most important issues which have received great attentions among academia and practitioners. Although several studies have been accomplished in the field of bankruptcy prediction, less attention has been devoted for proposing a systematic approach based on fuzzy neural networks.  The present study proposes fuzzy neural networks to predi...

The basic concept of intuitionistic fuzzy point has been defined by Çoker and Demirci. Also, Çoker constructed the fundamental theory on intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. In this paper, we define the notions of net and filter in the intuitionistic fuzzy sense, and obtain some results on convergence, in particular we establish the correspondence between net convergence and filter converge...

Standard financial techniques neglect extreme situations and regards large market shifts as too unlikely to matter. Such approach accounts for what occurs most of the time in the market, but does not reflect the reality, as major events happen in the rest of the time and investors are ‘surprised’ by ‘unexpected’ market movements. An alternative fuzzy approach permits fluctuations well beyond th...
