This chapter first defines a recommendation process, which helps the user to select products from a large number of candidates according to personal preference. Though both conventional database and fuzzy database have been used for this task, none of the two provide a proper solution. A new approach is introduced, which is easy to design and maintain, and provides well justified results. The c...

As we all know, face age estimation task is not only challenging for computer, but even hard for human in some cases, however, coarse age classification such as classifying human face into baby, child, adult or elder people is much easier for human. In this paper, we try to dig out the potential age classification power of computer on faces from consumer images which are taken under various con...

In this paper C1, C2 are non empty sets. Let C be a non empty set. One can verify that every membership function of C is quasi total. Let C1, C2 be non empty sets. A membership function of C1, C2 is a membership function of [:C1, C2 :]. Let C1, C2 be non empty sets and let h be a membership function of C1, C2. A fuzzy relation of C1, C2, h is a FuzzySet of [:C1, C2 :], h. In the sequel f , g de...

Fuzzification of support vector machine has been utilized to deal with outlier and noise problem. This importance is achieved, by the means of fuzzy membership function, which is generally built based on the distance of the points to the class centroid. The focus of this research is twofold. Firstly, by taking the advantage of robust statistics in the fuzzy SVM, more emphasis on reducing the im...

multi objective quadratic fractional programming (moqfp) problem involves optimization of several objective functions in the form of a ratio of numerator and denominator functions which involve both contains linear and quadratic forms with the assumption that the set of feasible solutions is a convex polyhedral with a nite number of extreme points and the denominator part of each of the object...

driven precast reinforced concrete piles (dprcp) is extensively used as a foundation for bridges constructed over canals in egypt in order to avoid the diversion of water canals. the objectives of this research include identifying the main activities of dprcp execution in the bridge-construction industry in egypt and the risk factors affecting them. in addition, assessment of the effects of the...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...

In this paper we continue to investigate the important parameter of global warming a heat wave that has no unique definition and represents the constellation of different factors such as e.g., heat index (temperature + humidity), time periods of excessive heat, etc. We find typical characteristics of heat indexes during different time periods, using most typical fuzzy expected values. Trapezoid...
