BACKGROUND In Australia, screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) with colonoscopy is meant to be reserved for people at increased risk, however, currently there is a mismatch between individuals' risk of CRC and the type of CRC screening they receive. This paper describes the development and optimisation of a Colorectal cancer RISk Prediction tool ('CRISP') for use in primary care. The aim of the...

Topology has enormous applications on fuzzy set. An attention can be brought to the mathematicians about these topological set by this article. In research, first we have classified sets and spaces, then made relation between elements of them. For expediency, with mathematical view few basic definitions crisp been recalled. Then discussed spaces. Finally, in last section, spaces which is our ma...

We present a novel approach to representing uncertain information in ontologies based on design patterns. We provide a brief description of our approach, present its use in case of fuzzy information and probabilistic information, and describe the possibility to model multiple types of uncertainty in a single ontology. We also shortly present an appropriate fuzzy reasoning tool and define a comp...

Many variants of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering method are applied to crisp numbers but only a few of them are extended to non-crisp numbers, mainly due to the fact that the latter needs complicated equations and exhausting calculations. Vector form of fuzzy c-means (VFCM), proposed in this paper, simplifies the FCM clustering method applying to non-crisp (symbolic interval and fuzzy) numbers. ...

In this paper, we present a general framework for the study of interval type-2 rough fuzzy sets by using both constructive and axiomatic approaches. First, several concepts and properties of interval type-2 fuzzy sets are introduced. Then, a pair of lower and upper interval type-2 rough fuzzy approximation operators with respect to a crisp binary relation is proposed. Classical representations ...

The prostate secretory protein of 94 amino acids (PSP94) has been shown to interact with cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 (CRISP-3) in human seminal plasma. Interestingly, PSP94 expression is reduced or lost in the majority of the prostate tumours, whereas CRISP-3 expression is upregulated in prostate cancer compared with normal prostate tissue. To obtain a better understanding of the individu...

The analysis of spatial relations among objects in an image is an important vision problem that involves both shape analysis and structural pattern recognition. In this paper, we propose a new approach to characterize the spatial relation along, an important feature of spatial configurations in space that has been overlooked in the literature up to now. We propose a mathematical definition of t...

IN CONTRAST to earlier investigators (Pardee, 1941; Stephens, 1941; Emmanuel, 1956) more recent workers (Crisp, 1965a, 1967; Oberdisse, Solbach & Zimmerman, 1965; Klinefelter, 1965; Crisp & Stonehill, 1967) have reported that some of their patients with anorexia nervosa have high serum cholesterol levels. Crisp (1965a, b, 1967) in a study of eighty patients (Nos. 1-80) has also emphasized that ...

In previous work the authors investigated the inconsistencies of how successful termination was modelled in Hoare, Brookes and Roscoe’s original CSP. This led to the definition of a variant of CSP, called CSPT . CSPT presents a solution to these problems by means of adding a termination axiom to the original process axioms. In this paper we investigate how successful process termination is mode...
