The main purpose of this paper is to achieve improvement in thespeed of Fuzzy Joint Points (FJP) algorithm. Since FJP approach is a basisfor fuzzy neighborhood based clustering algorithms such as Noise-Robust FJP(NRFJP) and Fuzzy Neighborhood DBSCAN (FN-DBSCAN), improving FJPalgorithm would an important achievement in terms of these FJP-based meth-ods. Although FJP has many advantages such as r...

High rates of esophageal cancer (EC) are found in people of the Henan Taihang Mountain, Fujian Minnan, and Chaoshan regions of China. Historical records describe great waves of populations migrating from north-central China (the Henan and Shanxi Hans) through coastal Fujian Province to the Chaoshan plain. Although these regions are geographically distant, we hypothesized that EC high-risk popul...

The multiprocessor Fixed-Job Priority (FJP) scheduling of real-time systems is studied. An important property for the schedulability analysis, the predictability (regardless to the execution times), is studied for heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms. Our main contribution is to show that any FJP schedulers are predictable on unrelated platforms. A convenient consequence is the fact that any ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and foot joint pain (FJP) over a 5-year period in a community-based cohort. METHODS We examined a subset of women from the Chingford Women's Study, a community cohort followed up for 20 years. From a baseline of 1,003 female participants, we reviewed data from 639 women (64%) for whom complete data sets for FJP and BMI we...

The difference of Fuzzy Joint Points (FJP) algorithm from other neighborhood-based clustering algorithms is that it uses the concept of fuzzy neighborhood when computing the neighborhood relations. Among the proposed methods, none of them is perfect for all aspects of clustering requirements. Although FJP algorithm has superiority by its advantages of robustness and optimal determination of the...

OBJECTIVE To examine the combined relationships between age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) and the specific source of chronic low back pain. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING University spine center. PATIENTS Charts from 378 cases from 358 consecutive patients were reviewed and 157 independent cases from 153 patients who underwent definitive diagnostic injections were analyze...

In recent years, Fluid Jet Polishing (FJP) has been studied for its potential as a finishing method on optical lenses, mirrors and molds for a number of materials, such a glass and nickel. In this paper, the surface integrity of binderless tungsten carbide after polishing by FJP was studied experimentally. Two aspects in particular were focused on: (1) identifying process conditions under which...

BACKGROUND Discogenic, facet joint, and sacroiliac joint mediated axial low back pain may be associated with overlapping pain referral patterns into the lower limb. Differences between pain referral patterns for these three structures have not been systematically investigated. OBJECTIVE To examine the individual and combined relationship of age, hip/girdle pain, leg pain, and thigh pain and t...

The Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation is an important dynamical model for studying the magnetization offerromagnets above Curie temperature. This article shows global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions modied equation.
