This paper introduces a higher-order Takagi-SugenoKang (TSK) neuro-fuzzy inference system and its applications in medical decision support systems. Different from most TSK fuzzy systems that utilize first-order TSK type fuzzy rules, the proposed system is composed of higherorder TKS fuzzy rules that have functions in their consequent parts of the following type: y = b0 x1 b1 x2 ...xp . The type...

Fuzzy logic controller is one of the most prominent research fields to improve efficiency for process industries, which usually stick conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. The paper proposes an improved version three-term PID-like fuzzy by removing necessity having user-defined parameters in place algorithm work. resulting non-parametric dissimilarity-based clustering was...

Bacterial and fungal pathogens in recirculating aquaculture egg incubation systems can cause elevated mortality decreased production. Peracetic acid (PAA) is a relatively low-cost, safe, effective disinfectant; however, its toxicity to early life stages of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has not been assessed. The 24-h LC50 value PAA was determined for three salmon: eyed eggs, fry (~0.17 g), ...

Background: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) remains the most performed cardiac worldwide. Fear of movement (Kinesiophobia) after is associated with physical activity and non-adherence to rehabilitation. It observed that functional capacity significantly reduced surgery. Long term Kinesiophobia leads avoidance behaviours hampers levels deconditioning. The aim study was find out Corre...

Hydration is recommended in order to decrease the overload on the cardiovascular system when healthy individuals exercise, mainly in the heat. To date, no criteria have been established for hydration for hypertensive (HY) individuals during exercise in a hot environment. Eight male HY volunteers without another medical problem and 8 normal (NO) subjects (46 +/- 3 and 48 +/- 1 years; 78.8 +/- 2....

Effects of the menstrual cycle on heat loss and heat production (M) and core and skin temperature responses to cold were studied in six unacclimatized female nonsmokers (18-29 yr of age). Each woman, resting supine, was exposed to a cold transient (ambient temperature = mean radiant temperature = 20 to -5 degrees C at -0.32 degrees C/min, relative humidity = 50 +/- 2%, wind speed = 1 m/s) in th...

This paper presents the application of Parallel Genetic Algorithm (PGA)-based Takagi Sugeno Kang (TSK)-Fuzzy approach for dynamic car-following modeling in the traffic simulation software. It differs from the usual car-following model significantly as the proposed model provides a more dynamic car movement and realistic headway by considering the driver progressive level factor. These two advan...

This work presents the use of local fuzzy prototypes as a new idea to obtain accurate local semantics-based Takagi–Sugeno–Kang ~TSK! rules. This allow us to start from prototypes considering the interaction between input and output variables and taking into account the fuzzy nature of the TSK rules. To do so, a two-stage evolutionary algorithm based on MOGUL ~a methodology to obtain Genetic Fuz...

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the oral carbohydrate solution administered preoperatively on thermoregulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 40 female patients under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group CONT (stopped oral implementation 8 h before the operation) and Group CHO (800ml oral carbohydrate fluid 8 h before the operation and 400ml ora...

This paper presents a tool condition monitoring approach using Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy logic incorporating a subtractive clustering method. The experimental results show its effectiveness and satisfactory comparisons with several other artificial intelligence methods.
