In this paper, we introduce a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model which is derived from a typical Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP NN). At first, it is shown that the considered MLP NN can be interpreted as a variety of TS fuzzy model. It is discussed that the utilized Membership Function (MF) in such TS fuzzy model, despite its flexible structure, has some major restrictions. After modify...

Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) is one of the best and most efficient systems for emergency. The systems have been developed to provide mariners global communications and locating network. This system includes land stations for all INMARSAT services to reporting at sea, and so far using this communication system, in marine emergency situations has helped rescue thousands of lives...

stem cells are cells with the ability to divide for indefinite periods and to give rise to specialized cells.  stem cell therapy has now been emerged as an extraordinary promise to treat a wide range of diseases and conditions.  however, except blood stem cell transfer by bone marrow transplant which has been used as an standard practice for more than 50 years, nearly all of therapeutic potenti...

extended abstractintroductiona map is a drawing ground features on one side of the paper. the cartographic maps are representations of the earth upon a flat surface in the smaller scale than it’s true. large scale maps cover relatively small regions in great detail and small scale maps cover large regions such as nations, continents and the whole globe. logical connection between the features a...

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar provides much more flexibility than the traditional radar thanks to its ability to realize far more observation channels than the actual number of transmit and receive (T/R) elements. In designing the MIMO imaging radar arrays, the commonly used virtual array theory generally assumes that all elements are on the same line. However, due to the physical...
