For the stochastic multi-criteria decision-making problem, in which the information on criteria's weights is incomplete and the indices value of alternatives are in the form of interval neutrosophic fuzzy numbers, an interval neutrosophic random decision-making approach based on WYCIN certainty factor and prospect theory is proposed. According to the score function of interval neutrosophic fuzz...

In a study of risk factors for the development of melanocytic naevi in relation to the pathogenesis of malignant melanoma 197 white adults were examined by four dermatologists and naevus counts correlated with several other features. Highly significant associations were found between large numbers of banal acquired melanocytic naevi and the ability to tan easily without burning (skin types 3 an...

Grey zone in medicine and namely, in cardiology, represents a perplex area that clinicians have to navigate through and deal with. Grey cases in medicine represent intricate situations and the great challenge is to maneuver appropriately in order to narrow the grey zone and/or to move grey cases out of it. This may be achieved every so often by a comprehensive clinical approach, along with an e...

In this paper an automatic recognition system for isolated Handwritten Devanagari Numerals is proposed and compared the recognition rate with different classifier. We presented a feature extraction technique based on recursive subdivision of the character image so that the resulting sub-images at each iteration have balanced numbers of foreground pixels as possible. Database, provided by Indian...

Abstract In this study, aiming at the multi-attribute decision-making problem with incomplete and uncertain attribute weight information value of interval numbers, a grey target model numbers based on positive negative clouts is proposed. Firstly, in model, linear transformation operator number used to normalize original decision information, are designed. Secondly, after space projection dista...

BACKGROUND Grey literature includes a range of documents not controlled by commercial publishing organisations. This means that grey literature can be difficult to search and retrieve for evidence synthesis. Much knowledge and evidence in public health, and other fields, accumulates from innovation in practice. This knowledge may not even be of sufficient formality to meet the definition of gre...

 The paper focuses on some of the biological characteristics of golden grey mullet, Liza aurata in Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea. Samples of commercial catch of mullet obtained by means of beach seine fishing cooperatives along the Iranian coasts of Caspian Sea (2007-2008) as monthly interval. Samples subjected to biometric measurement to specify their biological characteristics. The male/f...

Warpage and shrinkage control are important factors in proving the quality of thin-wall parts in injection modeling process. In the present paper, grey relational analysis was used in order to optimize these two parameters in manufacturing plastic bush of articulated garden tractor. The material used in the plastic bush is Derlin 500. The input parameters in the process were selected according ...

Grey seals on the West Hoyle Bank feed on a variety of fish and have a high incideince of dermal lesions, often associated with emaciation and nematode parasite infection. Corynebacterium phocae has been isolated from an active lesion. The significance of' large numbers of seals in the Dee Estuary bearing lesions is discussed and the occurrence of seals with lesions elsewhere in British waters ...
