INTRODUCTION: The outbreak of COVID-19 has gained ground in many countries, leading towards a global health emergency. Research efforts have been intensified all around the humankind. OBJECTIVE: main objective this paper is to study new pandemic using for first-time theori

Abstract IoT sensors capture different aspects of the environment and generate high throughput data streams. Besides capturing these streams reporting monitoring information, there is significant potential for adopting deep learning to identify valuable insights predictive preventive maintenance. One specific class applications involves using Long Short‐Term Memory Networks (LSTMs) predict faul...

Cognitive maps come in all shapes and sizes. Here, we review the literature on cognitive their role novel inferences during decision making, focusing representations computations hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, ventral prefrontal cortex. We suggest that can be seen as balancing representational complexity online computational demand. Recent evidence suggests hippocampal formation orbital fronta...

A retail business is a network of similar-format grocery stores with sole proprietor and well-established logistical infrastructure. The stable market, low growth, limited customer revenues, intense competition. On the system level, industry dynamic that challenging to represent due uncertainty, nonlinearity, imprecision. Due heterogeneous character systems, direct scenario modeling arduous. In...

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) are recurrent neural networks comprised of well-defined concepts and causal relations. While the literature about real-world FCM applications is prolific, studies devoted to understanding foundations behind these rather scant. In this article, we introduce several definitions theorems that unveil dynamic behavior FCM-based models equipped with transfer F-functions. T...

In real life, there will be a lot of uncertainty problems, one which is due to the vagueness concept things, that is, it difficult determine whether an object conforms this concept. This situation widely exists in some states, phenomena, parameters and interrelationships between things. For such uncertain events with heavy subjective influencing factors incomplete data, suitable use fuzzy metho...
