The correct segmentation of tumours can simplify formulate the diagnostic hypothesis, particularly in cases of irregular shapes, with fuzzy margins or spicules growing into the surrounding tissue, which are more likely to be malignant. In this study,...

An effective and reliable fusion method for conflicting information is proposed in this paper. Compared with a single-sensor system, a multi-sensor fusion system can comprehensively combine the redundancy and complementarity of multi-sensor informati...

Retinal vessel segmentation is one of the preliminary tasks for developing diagnosis software systems related to various retinal diseases. In this study, a fully automated vessel segmentation system is proposed. Firstly, the vessels are enhanced usin...

In this paper, a novel approach combining fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) is proposed to rank units with multiple fuzzy criteria. The hybrid fuzzy DEA/AHP approach derives the AHP pairwise compariso...

The notions of the neutrosophic triplet and neutrosophic duplet were introduced by Florentin Smarandache. From the existing research results, the neutrosophic triplets and neutrosophic duplets are completely different from the classical algebra struc...

A map on a closed surface is a two-cell embedding of a finite connected graph. Maps on surfaces are conveniently described by certain trivalent graphs, known as flag graphs. Flag graphs themselves may be considered as maps embedded in the same surfac...

We introduce notions of soft rough m-polar fuzzy sets and m-polar fuzzy soft rough sets as novel hybrid models for soft computing, and investigate some of their fundamental properties. We discuss the relationship between m-polar fuzzy soft rough appr...

In this paper, we proposed and developed Function-Oriented Networking (FON), a platform for network users. It has a different philosophy as opposed to technologies for network managers of Software-Defined Networking technology, OpenFlow. It is a tech...

A hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic set (HIFLS) that integrates both qualitative and quantitative evaluations is an extension of the linguistic set, intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) and hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy set...

Transferring emergent target tracking data to sinks is a major challenge in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), because inefficient data transmission can cause significant personnel and property loss. For tracking a constantly moving mobile tar...
