As an important technology in artificial intelligence, Granular Computing has emerged as a new multi-disciplinary paradigm and received much attention recent years. Information granules forming abstract efficient characterization of large volumes numeric data have been considered the fundamental constructs Computing. By generating centroids (prototypes) partition matrix, fuzzy clustering is com...

Excellent spectrograms can yield observational insight in the dynamics of the solar surface not yet accessible to numerical simulations. We present results of the elaboration of a series of spectrograms taken at the center of the solar disk. Each of the spectrograms includes more than 250 granules, while the series covers a time of 12 min. Our main emphasis is to study the dynamics of the visib...

We discuss information granulation applications in pattern recognition. The chapter consists of two parts. In the first part, we present applications of rough set methods for feature selection in pattern recognition. We emphasize the role of different forms of reducts that are the basic constructs of the rough set approach in feature selection. In the overview of methods for feature selection, ...

The pathogenesis of renal hypertension remains a mystery. Renal disease can be severe enough to produce terminal uremia without producing hypertension. On the other hand, hypertension can be induced by partial constriction of the renal artery, and the kidney in question may retain good excretory function. The excretory activities of the kidney seem not to be directly related to its hypertensive...
