Due to the reduction of renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels, the energy crisis is one of the most critical issues in today’s world. The application of these resources brings about many environmentalpollutionsthatleadtoglobalwarming. Therefore,variouscountrieshaveattemptedto reducepotentialdamageanduserenewableenergiesbytheintroductionandpromotionofrenewable energies as an essential ...

A Bayesian probability based tissue segmentation method is presented, which makes use of the grey level information in the images and also the local grey level slope. The grey level distributions are modelled as a combination of Gaussian distributions and triangle-Gaussian convolutions. The local grey level slope distribution is modelled as a linear combination of Rician distributions. The para...

Capital cost, resale value and running cost including maintenance costs, repairing costs, and operation costs of equipment are considered as crisp numbers in ordinary replacement problem. Nevertheless, in a special situation such as operating military equipments during wartime, the working efficiency of the machine and its related costs are no longer crisp but uncertain. This uncertainty can be...

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the financial Performance of four listed Taiwanese airline companies by combining grey theory and principal component analysis. The absolute degree of grey incidence (ADGI) matrix was introduced to replace the correlation matrix of the traditional PCA, and build an evaluation model of grey principle component analysis (GPCA). Based on this model, th...

Abstract: Aimed at the situation that the plan attribute value is a three-parameter interval grey number and that attribute weight is uncertain, a three-parameter interval grey number multi-attribute decision making method based on information entropy is proposed. In this study, we combine the three-parameter interval grey number decision-making problem with information entropy, build the dista...

this study focused on the optimization of al—mg to cuzn34 friction stir lap welding (fslw) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using grey relational analysis (gra). first, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

The financial comprehensive appraisal method plays an essential role in decision-making for investors and reflecting real company’s financial comprehensive situation. Because of the grey characteristics of financial information, this paper constructs a grey relational model with a index system of financial comprehensive appraisal by grey relation theory. It is applied to listed companies in rea...
