Fuzzy logic systems find application especially in engineering systems due to their suitability for applications dealing with the concept of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. However, the fuzzy concept is particularly valid also in the areas where information is qualitative. Exact science applications deal with the information by modeling and thereafter identifying the relationships in the model by su...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate facial soft tissue changes after the use of the twin block appliance in Class II division 1 malocclusion patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Several electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Cochrane databases, EMBASE, Web of Science, and LILACS) were searched with the help of a senior health-sciences librarian. Abstracts that a...

The concept of soft sets, introduced by Molodtsov [20] is a mathematicaltool for dealing with uncertainties, that is free from the difficultiesthat have troubled the traditional theoretical approaches. In this paper, weapply the notion of the soft sets of Molodtsov to the theory of Hilbert algebras.The notion of soft Hilbert (abysmal and deductive) algebras, soft subalgebras,soft abysms and sof...

We review some of the significant contributions to the field of strongly correlated materials and complex magnets, arising from experiments performed at the Diamond Light Source (Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Didcot, UK) during the first few years of operation (2007-2014). We provide a comprehensive overview of Diamond research on topological insulators, multiferroics, complex oxides a...

Software re-engineering consists of a set of activities intended to restructure a legacy system to a new target system that conforms with hard and soft quality constraints (or non-functional requirements, NFR). This paper presents a framework that allows specific NFR such as performance and maintainability to guide the re-engineering process. Such requirements for the migrant system are modeled...

The Martini model, a coarse-grained force field initially developed with biomolecular simulations in mind, has found an increasing number of applications the soft materials science. model's underlying building block principle does not pose restrictions on its application beyond systems. Here, main to date model science are highlighted, and perspective for future developments this is given, part...

Despite the sizable achievements obtained, the use of soft classi®ers is still limited by the lack of well-assessed and adequate methods for evaluating the accuracy of their outputs. This paper proposes a new method that uses the fuzzy set theory to extend the applicability of the traditional error matrix method to the evaluation of soft classi®ers. It is designed to cope with those situations ...
