Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder thought to result from the integrated effects of genetic background and exposure to neuronal toxins. Certain individual nuclear-encoded mitochondrial complex I gene polymorphisms were found to be associated with approximately 2-fold risk variation in an Australian case-control sample. We further characterized this sampl...

Poor information means incomplete and insufficient information, such as unknown probability distributions and trends. In this case, many statistical methods may become ineffective. So a fusion method based on the information poor theory is proposed. The fusion method contains five methods, three concepts, and one rule. The five methods include the rolling mean method, the membership function me...

The present study considers a fuzzy natural color system (NCS) in which triangular pyramid membership functions are constructed on the NCS color triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to an NCS and output a center of gravity of three weights associated with respective grades. Triangular membership functions are applied to the hue angle, and triangular pyramid membership functions are a...

We examine a linear programming problem formulation in which the constraint coefficients are not precisely given in the work. We investigate the possibility of applying GAs to solve this kind of fuzzy linear programming problem without defining membership functions for fuzzy numbers, using the extension principle, interval arithmetic, and α-cut operations for fuzzy computations, and using a pen...

A new approach to define and assign statistical parameters to Bayesian inference nodes derived from fuzzy logic technology is proposed. First to develop an intelligent medical diagnostic system, the individual membership function can be pre-defined by matching separately the adapted high-order polynomial, S-type or quasi-Gaussian function with plot of collected clinical diagnostic data. Consequ...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...
