many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

It seems like almost everyone either has a new controller for their lumberdrying operations or is thinking about getting one. In the July 1988 Forest Industries, in "A shoppers' guide to electronic kiln controls," I described some of the benefits likely to accrue to users of these machines. Those benefits include improved grade recovery, greater kiln productivity, better use of limited steam su...

In June 2012, the Piaoshan kiln site was excavated in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, which hitherto proved to be the earliest known Chinese proto-porcelain kiln. Judging from the decorative patterns of unearthed impressed stoneware and proto-porcelain sherds, the site was determined to date to the late Xia (c. 2070-c. 1600 BC), the first dynasty of China. Here, we report on proton-induced X-ray emi...

Pattern recognition systems are widely used in a host of different fields. Due to some reasons such as lack of knowledge about a method based on which the best classifier is detected for any arbitrary problem, and thanks to significant improvement in accuracy, researchers turn to ensemble methods in almost every task of pattern recognition. Classification as a major task in pattern recognition,...

performance evaluation of different organizations, is considered as a very important issue in the present literature. among the organizations, insurance companies, as part of protective services and with compensating roles in the economy of each country, have been studied extensively. it is maintained that successful operation of these industries will motivate other industries as well. in order...

In this article, we present a new method to reduce the model adaptation complexity for digital predistortion (DPD) of radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs) under varying operating conditions, using pretrained transformation coefficients. Experimental studies show that PA behavior variations can be effectively tracked small number “transformed” coefficients, even with large deviations in i...

stewardship is not a new concept for public policy, but has not been used to its optimum by the health policy-makers. although it is being practiced in most successful models of health system, but the onus to this function is still due till date. lately, few experts in world health organization (who) have realized its importance and have been raising the issue at different platforms to pursue t...

-NN classifier for better to much harder than normal face recognition based on photo images. To recognize a face sketch through photo database, it is necessary to reduce the modality difference between face photo and face sketch images. Every face recognition system need to perform mainly three subtasks: face detection, feature extraction and classification. But face sketch recognition system t...
