BACKGROUND Since the industrial revolution, the rate of industrialization and urbanization has increased dramatically. Regarding this issue, specific regions mostly located in developing countries have been confronted with serious problems, particularly environmental problems among which air pollution is of high importance. METHODS Eleven parameters, including CO, SO2, PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2, b...

In this paper, single and multi container maintenance model under limited time interval of interest is introduced in fuzzy environment. These fuzzy models are solved by fuzzy geometric programming technique. Here fuzzy geometric programming is discussed through fuzzy decision-making processes with three different operators, max-min, max-average mean, and max-geometric mean. These operators are ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) neurodevelopment Clinical decision-making process complex. Due to complex nature of sign and its symptoms clinical decision making may lead misclassification. To deal with such medical problems methods or approaches soft computing play an important role. This paper will focus on presenting integ...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy C-matroids, a new class of fuzzy matroids. We study properties of this class and define several new types of fuzzy maps between fuzzy matroids. In addition, we define fuzzy C-inner and fuzzy C-closure operators in this class and characterize fuzzy C-matroids and fuzzy maps between matroids in terms of these notions.

in this paper, we consider portfolio selection problem in which security returns are regarded as fuzzy variables rather than random variables. we first introduce a concept of absolute deviation for fuzzy variables and prove some useful properties, which imply that absolute deviation may be used to measure risk well. then we propose two mean-absolute deviation models by defining risk as abs...

The appearance of multiple faces is influenced by abnormal exposure, interfering backgrounds or fake objects greatly in the color face image. A multiple-face detection method based on the adaptive dual skin model and improved fuzzy C-mean clustering was presented in this study. First an adaptive skin-color model and an adaptive skin-probability model were built to acquire the skin likelihood fo...

This paper presents a sequence of fuzzy mean difference divergence measures. The validity of these fuzzy mean difference divergence measures is proved axiomatically. In addition, it introduces a sequence of inequalities among some of these fuzzy mean difference divergence measures. The applications of proposed fuzzy mean difference divergence measures in the context of pattern recognition have ...

This chapter presents a new optimization method for clustering fuzzy data to generate Type-2 fuzzy system models. For this purpose, first, a new distance measure for calculating the (dis)similarity between fuzzy data is proposed. Then, based on the proposed distance measure, Fuzzy c-Mean (FCM) clustering algorithm is modified. Next, Xie-Beni cluster validity index is modified to be able to valu...

The equilibrium measure is a natural extension of both probability and credibility measures. The convergence modes of random fuzzy variables with respect to equilibrium measure is an important issue for research. In this paper, we first introduce several convergence concepts for sequences of random fuzzy variables, including convergence in equilibrium measure and convergence in equilibrium dist...

The eigen fuzzy set of a given fuzzy relation often corresponds to an occurrence of invariability in natural sciences. By determining the fuzzy relations as connections between pairs of symptoms we utilize the greatest and the least eigen fuzzy sets in order to find the estimates of the medicine effectiveness levels.
