The present paper proposes the idea of formulating a new author-level citation metrics, quantifying individual’s scientific output, which uses concept intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This metrics gives more visibility to proportion direct self-citations and hidden (co-author or collaborative) in form an pair. Examples are given retrieving necessary information from Scopus, one largest databases peer...

A novel ultra-high compliance, low power, very accurate and high output impedance current output stage (COS) with extremely high output current drive capability is proposed in this paper. The principle of operation of this unique structure is discussed, its most important formulas are derived and its outstanding performance is verified by HSPICE simulation in TSMC 0.18µm CMOS, BSIM3, and Level4...

Personalization or computer-tailoring refers to the adaptation of the output of a persuasive technological system to the individual. To be able to produce the tailored persuasive output, individual characteristics must be known to the computer system, for example, through sensors, data-bases, or self-report questionnaires. This information is used to compose a personalized output on the basis o...

Despite a usually normal or high cardiac output, severe sepsis is associated with inadequate tissue oxygenation, leading to organ failure and death. Some authors have suggested that raising cardiac output and oxygen delivery to predetermined supranormal values may be associated with improved survival. While this may be of benefit in certain patients, bringing all patients to similar, supranorma...

Fuzzy inference process usually involves the use of fuzzy rule base consisting in several fuzzy rules. Overall output can be obtained by aggregation of outputs of all rules. To obtain an output of individual rule the relevancy of this rule is calculated. Then the individual output is obtained from the relevancy and the consequent of the rule. Such process can be realised using an operator that ...
