Fuzzy variables are functions from credibility spaces to the set of real numbers. Based on the expected value of a fuzzy variable, the expected value of function of a simple fuzzy variable is studied. In order further to discuss the mathematical properties of fuzzy variables, some inequalities for fuzzy variables are derived based on the concepts of credibility measures and expected value opera...

Microelectronics technological processes are most complicated and consist of many un-predicted factors on the final device parameters. Thin films deposition methods based on magnetron plasma sputtering are influenced by lots of independent active factors. These deposition methods bring along uncertainty in the precise design process of electronic components. Thus, intelligent modeling process i...

Traditional search engines rely on keyword-based matching, recovering the documents which present some occurrences of the input keywords, but ignore at all the data meaning of the retrieved documents. Thus, long lists of pages links are returned but actually only a handful of pages contain reference to relevant web resources and meet the needs of users.

Recently a letter appeared in Physical Therapy authored by the American Physical Therapy Association's (APT A's) Committee on Research (1). Th e letter condemned the use of the initials PhC following an individual's name. It seems the initials are being used to designate a candidate for the PhD. The committee correctly observed that it was a misleading practice and urged members to stop using t...

the importance of vocabulary learning has been underlined in the field of english for academic purposes (eap) because non-english majors who require reading english texts in their fields of study have to expand their english vocabulary knowledge much more efficiently than ordinary esl/efl learners. since academic vocabulary instruction in iranian universities is realized through the use of gene...

Background Learning is the most important human attribute. Cognition plays an important role in it and metacognition is another form of cognition that monitors cognitive processes and plays an important role in motivating one to learn. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between metacognition skills with academic motivation and academic achievement...
