Abstract In the recent decade, different researchers have performed hardware implementation for different applications covering various areas of experts. In this research paper, a novel analog design and implementation of different steps of fuzzy systems with current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA) are proposed with a compact structure that can be used in many signal processing applications. The proposed circuits are capable of wide input current range, simple structure, and are highly linear. Different electrical parameters were compared for the proposed fuzzy system when using different membership functions. The novelty of this paper lies in the electronic implementation of different steps for… More >

Abstract The root system plays an important role in the growth and development of blueberry. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of different fertilizers on the root growth and root–yield relationship of blueberry to provide insight into the regulation of root growth and fruit yield by fertilizing from the perspective of the root system. Rabbiteye blueberry variety ‘Britewell’ as the test material, and six fertilizers, including BF, OR, CF, SF, HF, and RT were used in single-factor fertilization experiments to analyze the effects of different fertilizer treatments on the root morphology, root distribution, and fruit yield of… More >

Abstract Among the end-users of the power grid, especially in the rural power grid, there are a large number of users and the situation is complex. In this complex situation, there are more leakage caused by insulation damage and a small number of users stealing electricity. Maintenance staff will take a long time to determine the location of the abnormal user meter box. In view of this situation, the method of subjective fuzzy clustering and quartile difference is adopted to determine the partition threshold. The power consumption data of end-users are divided into three regions: high, normal and low, which can… More >

Abstract Fuzzy inference system (FIS) is a process of fuzzy logic reasoning to produce the output based on fuzzified inputs. The system starts with identifying input from data, applying the fuzziness to input using membership functions (MF), generating fuzzy rules for the fuzzy sets and obtaining the output. There are several types of input MFs which can be introduced in FIS, commonly chosen based on the type of real data, sensitivity of certain rule implied and computational limits. This paper focuses on the construction of interval type 2 (IT2) trapezoidal shape MF from fuzzy C Means (FCM) that is used for… More >

Abstract From fraud detection to speech recognition, including price prediction, Machine Learning (ML) applications are manifold and can significantly improve different areas. Nevertheless, machine learning models are vulnerable and are exposed to different security and privacy attacks. Hence, these issues should be addressed while using ML models to preserve the security and privacy of the data used. There is a need to secure ML models, especially in the training phase to preserve the privacy of the training datasets and to minimise the information leakage. In this paper, we present an overview of ML threats and vulnerabilities, and we highlight current progress… More >

Abstract The explosive growth of data produced by internet of things has contributed to the abundance of data. Since then, efficient indexing and querying techniques for data retrieval has become a major challenge. Bitmap index and its extension techniques, which involve a bit sequence that represents a specified property and indicates the data items that satisfies this property, are well-known methods to improve processing time for complex and interactive queries on the read-mostly or append-only data. This paper proposes an improved bitmap index technique, named Sliced-Interval Bitmap Index (SI Bitmap Index), which is efficient in both space and response time for… More >

Abstract The arrival of big data era has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of various industries in China. The explosive growth of commercial bank data has brought great pressure on internal audit. The key audit of key products limited to key business areas can no longer meet the needs. It is difficult to find abnormal and exceptional risks only by sampling analysis and static analysis. Exploring the organic integration and business processing methods between big data and bank internal audit, Internal audit work can protect the stable and sustainable development of banks under the new situation. Therefore, based… More >

Abstract Materials selection is a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem. A lot of MADM methods are applicable to materials selection, and it may produce considerable differences between the results of materials selection. But it is unknown which MADM method is better. So it is desirable to decide reasonable final result of materials selection in consideration of the individual results from different MADM methods. In this paper, materials selection method combined with different MADM methods is proposed. The method is based on final ranks of alternative materials, where the final ranks are determined from the ranks of the alternative materials using… More >

Abstract The conventional probabilistic reliability model for structures is based on the “probability assumption” and “binary-state assumption”. These assumptions are often offset the reality of practical engineering and lead to a wrong conclusion. In fact, besides randomness, fuzziness which is different from randomness in nature is also a prevalent uncertainty factor and plays an important role in structural reliability assessment. In this paper, a novel structural reliability model with random variables and fuzzy variables is established by using the fuzzy set theory, possibility theory and probability measure for fuzzy events, based on the “mixed probability and possibility assumption” and “fuzzy state… More >

Abstract In this paper we define multivariable fuzzy functions (MFF) and corresponding multivariable crisp functions (MCF). Then we give a definition for the maximum value of MFF, which in some cases coincides with the maximum value in Pareto sense. We introduce generalized maximizing and minimizing sets in order to determine the maximum values of MFF. By equating membership functions of a given fuzzy domain set and the corresponding maximizing set, we obtain a curve of equal possibilities. Then we use the method of Lagrange multipliers to solve the resulting nonlinear optimization problem when the membership functions are differentiable. We finally present… More >
