PURPOSE This study examines student recipients of merit, need-based, service, or minority scholarships, their performance in medical school, and the relationship to future alumni association membership and financial giving. METHOD Retrospective data on grade-point average attained across the four-year curriculum and extracurricular activities reported at graduation were collected on students ...

Measurement results contain different kinds of uncertainty. Besides systematic errors andrandom errors individual measurement results are also subject to another type of uncertainty,so-called emph{fuzziness}. It turns out that special fuzzy subsets of the set of real numbers $RR$are useful to model fuzziness of measurement results. These fuzzy subsets $x^*$ are called emph{fuzzy numbers}. The m...

The dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (DHFLTS) is defined by two functions that express the grade of membership and non-membership using a terms. In present work, we first quote an example to point out existing complement operation DHFLTS on wrong track. Meanwhile, redefine this fill holes in ones. Next, notion information energy under background provided order build criteria weight deter...

Since its original formulation, the theory of fuzzy sets has spawned a number of extensions where the role of membership values in the real unit interval $[0, 1]$ is handed over to more complex mathematical entities. Amongst the many existing extensions, two similar ones, the fuzzy multisets and the hesitant fuzzy sets, rely on collections of several distinct values to represent fuzzy membershi...
