Sensorineural hearing loss is associated with increased temporal masking of low energy sub-segments of speech by adjacent high energy segments, resulting in increased consonant confusion. Splitting the speech into segments and presenting the alternate segments to the two ears, may help in reducing the effect of increased temporal masking in cases of moderate bilateral loss. A method of inter-au...

Class Sm variable transformations with integer m for finite-range integrals were introduced by the author about a decade ago. These transformations ‘‘periodize’’ the integrand functions in a way that enables the trapezoidal rule to achieve very high accuracy, especially with even m. In a recent work by the author, these transformations were extended to arbitrary real m, and their role in improv...

To make the analysis more consistent and logical according to real life situations, in thispaper, the concept of trapezoidal vague set is extended by the idea of trapezoidal vaguesets of type-II. Also we have introduced: definition of trapezoidal vague set of type-IIand arithmetic operations between two trapezoidal vague sets of type-II. Further, a newmethod has been developed f...

We consider the possible ways of the homogenization of nongraded non-commutative algebra and show that it should be combined with the cancellation rule to get the mathematically adequate correspondence between graded and non-graded algebras.

Background: The hip joint is the largest joint after the knee, which gives stability to the whole human structure. The hip joint consists of a femoral head which articulates with the acetabulum. Due to age and wear between the joints, these joints need to be replaced with implants which can function just as a natural joint. Since the early 19th century, the hip joint arthroplasty has evolved, a...

The most promising method for micro scale energy scavenging is via vibration energy harvesting which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. Using piezoelectric cantilevers is the most common method for vibration energy harvesting. Changing the shape of the cantilevers can lead to changing the generated output voltage and power. In this work vibration energy harvesting via piezoelectri...

An approach for solving a matrix game whose pay off elements are symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. P.Grzegorzewski’s theorem[1]has been used to transform symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to interval fuzzy number such that length of all intervals are different.Acceptability index has been defined and ordering of fuzzy numbers has been established.

In this paper, we want to represent a method for ranking of two exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In this study a new Cardinality between exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. Cardinality in this method is relatively simple and easier in computation and ranks various types of exponential fuzzy numbers. For the validation the results of the proposed approach are compared with d...

In this study, we propose an approach to determine the shortest path length between a pair of specified nodes s and t on a network whose edge weights are represented by trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach. Keywords—trapezoidal fuzzy neutrosophic sets; score function; Shortest path pro...
