Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is commonly used to study systematic differences in brain morphology from patients with various disorders, usually by comparisons with control subjects. It has often been suggested, however, that VBM is also sensitive to variations in composition in grey matter. The nature of the grey matter changes identified with VBM is still poorly understood. The aim of the cur...

Grey systems and interval valued fuzzy sets appear to be similar concepts. This abstract provides a brief introduction to grey systems and compares them to interval valued fuzzy sets. We argue that grey system is similar to an interval fuzzy set, but has different properties. Grey systems focus on the interval range of the system property itself, but interval fuzzy sets consider the fuzzy membe...

In this paper, an efficient algorithm is presented for drawing anti-aliased straight lines for two grey-level case; experimental results show that it is faster than Liu’s algorithm [6]. Specifically, Liu’s algorithm determines the grey-level of one pixel at a time while our algorithm determines the grey-levels of many pixels at the same time. In addition, our results for the two grey-level case...

Grey matter volume and cortical thickness are the two most widely used measures for detecting grey matter morphometric changes in various diseases such as schizophrenia. However, these two measures only share partial overlapping regions in identifying morphometric changes. Few studies have investigated the contributions of the potential factors to the differences of grey matter volume and corti...

It is partly by research on the sensory capabilities of other organisms that we realise just how visual humans are. We have abandoned many of the senses other species possess. We can't smell our way up a pheromone-laden path, detect magnetic fields or electrical potentials, our brains contain no compasses by which we can navigate vast distances. The masses of nerve cells required for these skil...

This paper discusses the application of grey numbers for uncertainty representation. It highlights the difference between grey sets and interval-valued fuzzy sets, and investigates the degree of greyness for grey sets. It facilitates the representation of uncertainty not only for elements of a set, but also the set itself as a whole. Our results show that a grey set could be specified for inter...

In classical transport models, it is always assumed that parameters such as the distance from each supply node to each demand node or the cost of transferring goods from one node to another, as well as quantities such as supply and demand are definite and definite amounts. But in real matters, considering these assumptions is not logical. On the other hand, there may be a real problem in mathem...

This paper presents a better prediction model by the integration of neural network technique and grey theory for the stock index. In this paper, the grey theory applied include grey forecast model and grey relationship analysis. A GM(l, l) grey forecast model was applied to predict the next day’s stock index. Grey relationship analysis was used to filter the most important quantitative technica...
