We continue to study parabolic iterated function systems (IFS) with overlaps on the real line and invariant measures associated with them. A shift-invariant Borel probability measure on the coding space projects into a measure on the limit set of the IFS. We consider families of IFS depending on parameter and satisfying a certain \transversality" condition. In SSU2] suucient conditions were fou...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate indications for intraoperative frozen section (IFS) during robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) in our series. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospectively documented 80 patients with prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent RALRP were evaluated between June 2010 and July 2012. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether systematically IFS was perfo...

The basics of a block oriented fractal image coder, are described. The output of the coder is an IFS (Iterated Function System) code, which describes the image as a xed-point of a contractive transformation. A new hierarchical interpretation of the IFS code, which relates diierent scales of the xed-point to the code, is presented and proved. The proof is based on nding a function of a continuou...

In this paper, we introduce an axiomatic definition of the similarity measure of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) that differs from the definition of Li [15]. The relationship between the similarity measure and the entropy of IFS is investigated in detail. Six theorems on how the similarity measure could be transformed into the entropy for IFS and vice versa are proposed based on their axiomatic...

Impact factors (IFs) are scores based on the frequency with which articles in a journal have been cited in other journals during a 2-year or 5-year period. Impact factors vary across disciplines and even within fields because of differences in citing behaviors, types of publications, and other factors. Nurses need to understand IFs and the implications for them as authors, particularly in light...

BACKGROUND Brain imaging studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sometimes reveal incidental findings (IFs) that might be relevant to some of the health issues in research participants. Although professional communities have discussed how to manage these IFs, there is no global consensus on the concrete handling procedures including how to inform participants of IFs. METHODS First, thi...

This paper considers the problem of extending the notion of an IFS with probabilities from the case of nitely many maps in the IFS to the case of innnitely many maps. We prove that under an average contractiv-ity condition the IFS is contractive in the Monge-Kantorovich metric. We also show that the invariant distribution is continuous with respect to the parameters of the IFS. Furthermore, usi...

All self-replicating lattice tilings of the plane can be constructed using special iterated function systems (IFS). Certain self-replicating curves can be constructed using the recurrent set method (RS). A bijection between the IFS parameters and the RS parameters is such that the curve K produced by the RS parameters is the boundary of the tile T produced by the IFS parameters. The corresponde...
