A financial decision supporting system based on the fuzzy candlestick pattern is proposed and developed. We model Japanese candlestick patterns by using fuzzy linguistic variables. Japanese candlestick theory is an empirical model of investment decision. The theory assumes that the trend of financial time series could be predicted by identifying specific candlestick patterns in the candlestick ...

System-initiated digressive proposals may be used to introduce new and unexpected information into automated telephone services. These digressions may be viewed as particularly pronounced forms of unsolicited interruptions as they contain information not directly related to the caller’s intended activity.

This paper attempts to compare the overall trends and industrial patterns of inward foreign direct investment in the BRICs and explain their determinants. The overall trend of the inward FDI in the BRICs is increasing. Nevertheless, the industrial patterns of inward FDI are different from each other. In addition, there are three main factors that determinant the industrial patterns of inward fo...

In 1981, Paris and Wilkie [28] indicated it was an open question whether IΣ0 would satisfy the Second Incompleteness Theorem for Herbrand deduction. We will show that some specially formulated axiomizations for IΣ0 can evade the Herbrandized version of the Second Incompleteness Theorem.

Aerospace, manufacturing, and shipbuilding industries strive to enhance their competitiveness by optimizing material utilization improving production processes. The investment casting process offers the capability fabricate intricate precise components using a diverse range of alloys. However, this method is not without its drawbacks, including high manufacturing costs significant rate defectiv...
