Permeability Analysis based on information granulation theory
This paper describes application of information granulation theory, on the
analysis of "lugeon data". In this manner, using a combining of Self Organizing
Map (SOM) and Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (NFIS), crisp and fuzzy granules are
obtained. Balancing of crisp granules and sub- fuzzy granules, within non fuzzy
information (initial granulation), is rendered in open-close iteration. Using
two criteria, "simplicity of rules "and "suitable adaptive threshold error
level", stability of algorithm is guaranteed. In other part of paper, rough set
theory (RST), to approximate analysis, has been employed >.Validation of the
proposed methods, on the large data set of in-situ permeability in rock masses,
in the Shivashan dam, Iran, has been highlighted. By the implementation of the
proposed algorithm on the lugeon data set, was proved the suggested method,
relating the approximate analysis on the permeability, could be applied.Comment: 8 pages,7 figure
The Encyclopedia of Neutrosophic Researchers - vol. 1
This is the first volume of the Encyclopedia of Neutrosophic Researchers, edited from materials offered by the authors who responded to the editorâs invitation. The authors are listed alphabetically. The introduction contains a short history of neutrosophics, together with links to the main papers and books. Neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics, neutrosophic measure, neutrosophic precalculus, neutrosophic calculus and so on are gaining significant attention in solving many real life problems that involve uncertainty, impreciseness, vagueness, incompleteness, inconsistent, and indeterminacy. In the past years the fields of neutrosophics have been extended and applied in various fields, such as: artificial intelligence, data mining, soft computing, decision making in incomplete / indeterminate / inconsistent information systems, image processing, computational modelling, robotics, medical diagnosis, biomedical engineering, investment problems, economic forecasting, social science, humanistic and practical achievements
Multi-Paradigm Reasoning for Access to Heterogeneous GIS
Accessing and querying geographical data in a uniform way has become easier in recent years. Emerging standards like WFS turn
the web into a geospatial web services enabled place. Mediation
architectures like VirGIS overcome syntactical and semantical heterogeneity
between several distributed sources. On mobile devices,
however, this kind of solution is not suitable, due to limitations,
mostly regarding bandwidth, computation power, and available storage
space. The aim of this paper is to present a solution for providing
powerful reasoning mechanisms accessible from mobile applications
and involving data from several heterogeneous sources.
By adapting contents to time and location, mobile web information
systems can not only increase the value and suitability of the
service itself, but can substantially reduce the amount of data delivered
to users. Because many problems pertain to infrastructures
and transportation in general and to way finding in particular, one
cornerstone of the architecture is higher level reasoning on graph
networks with the Multi-Paradigm Location Language MPLL. A
mediation architecture is used as a âgraph providerâ in order to
transfer the load of computation to the best suited component â
graph construction and transformation for example being heavy on
resources. Reasoning in general can be conducted either near the
âsourceâ or near the end user, depending on the specific use case.
The concepts underlying the proposal described in this paper are
illustrated by a typical and concrete scenario for web applications
NIDUS IDEARUM. Scilogs, IV: vinculum vinculorum
Welcome into my scientific lab! My lab[oratory] is a virtual facility with non-controlled conditions in which I mostly perform scientific meditation and chats: a nest of ideas (nidus idearum, in Latin). I called the jottings herein scilogs (truncations of the words scientific, and gr. ÎĎÎłÎżĎ â appealing rather to its original meanings ground , opinion , expectation ), combining the welly of both science and informal (via internet) talks (in English, French, and Romanian). * In this fourth book of scilogs collected from my nest of ideas, one may find new and old questions and solutions, referring mostly to topics on NEUTROSOPHY â email messages to research colleagues, or replies, notes about authors, articles, or books, so on. Feel free to budge in or just use the scilogs as open source for your own ideas
