This paper proposes a complexity management methodology for fuzzy systems with feedback rule bases. The methodology is based on formal methods for presentation, manipulation and transformation of fuzzy rule bases. First, Boolean matrices are used for formal presentation of rule bases. Then, binary merging operations are used for formal manipulation of rule bases. Finally, repetitive merging ope...

Although face recognition systems have wide application, they are vulnerable to presentation attack samples (fake samples). Therefore, a presentation attack detection (PAD) method is required to enhance the security level of face recognition systems. Most of the previously proposed PAD methods for face recognition systems have focused on using handcrafted image features, which are designed by e...

Recent papers have demonstrated that the way people acquire information about a decision problem, by experience or by abstract description, can affect their behavior. We examined the role of experience over time in the emergence of the Gambler’s Fallacy in binary prediction tasks. Theories of the Gambler’s Fallacy and models of binary prediction suggest that recency bias, elicited by experience...

The article is devoted to a matrix method of comparative analysis of long nucleotide sequences by means of presenting each sequence in the form of three digital binary sequences. This method uses a set of symmetries of biochemical attributes of nucleotides. It also uses the possibility of presentation of every whole set of N-mers as one of the members of a Kronecker family of genetic matrices. ...

newcastle disease (nd) is one of the most important diseases that affect birds; the epizootic nature of the disease has caused severe economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. in this experiment nd virus (ndv) was inactivated by two different chemicals binary ethylenimine (bei) and formaldehyde. formaldehyde was used at 0.1%, while bei was used at concentrations of 1 to 4 mm. ndv inact...

density, viscosity and refractive index of pure, binary and ternary mixtures of diethanolamine (dea) and methyl diethanolamine (mdea) with water have been measured at different temperatures from 288.15 k to 323.15 k at atmospheric pressure. also, this study presents the effects of mixture composition and temperature upon these thermo- physical properties. to measure the density and refractive i...

in order to the enhancement of the quality of speech corrupted by additive noise, a speech enhancement method has been put forward based on the combination of spectral subtraction and binary masking. spectral subtraction is a powerful method for removing noise from speech and binary masking provides essential elements to be used in monaural speech segregation. in the proposed combined method, f...

in this article, multiple-product pvrp with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. a mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. to solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...

Binary trees are essential structures in Computer Science. The leaf (leaves) of a binary tree is one of the most significant aspects of it. In this study, we prove that the order of a leaf (leaves) of a binary tree is the same in the main tree traversals; preorder, inorder, and postorder. Then, we prove that given the preorder and postorder traversals of a binary tree, the leaf (leaves) of a bi...
