The importance of structural and construction safety is associated with adverse consequences that may result from a structural failure or a construction accident. There are many factors which affect the safety of construction operations. Most of these factors are imprecisely defined and therefore, they are expressed in subjective measures rather than mathematical measures. The reliability of construction operations is dependent on the assessment of the various factors that affect the operations. The sensitivity level of the reliability of the operations to the state and frequency of each factor is incorporated into the reliability assessment process. A prototype computer program for sensitivity analysis of the factors is evaluated to assess the effect of the variability of the parameters of the factors on the reliability of construction operations.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121960992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods, however, are difficult to apply when there is a tendency for the examples to change dynamically. This paper presents a new method for adaptive rule extraction with the fuzzy self-organizing map and the results of simulations in order to present its effectiveness by a comparison with other methods such as RBF (radial basis functions) and GA (genetic algorithms). We obtained the result that our method is superior to other methods for automatic and adaptive rule extraction.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131635649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main methods used for estimation of reliability in the previous as well as the present research are: the First Order Second Moment (FOSM) method, the Advanced First Order Second Moment (AFOSM) and the Point Estimate Method (PEM). For each method, the reliability of the tension element is calculated. The safety indices (/spl beta/) are calculated for the various types of probabilistic combinations of resistance and load. Results obtained by these three methods are compared to one another. Subsequently, relevant conclusions are drawn.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134118694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can significantly damage the respiratory tissue when there is prolonged exposure to elevated concentrations of the gas. Constant exposure to high concentration of radon gas may cause lung cancer. Researchers have concentrated on investigating the factors that affect radon entry and to designing mitigation methods in preventing radon intrusion. Radon gas entry is affected by soil properties, house physical characteristics and outside forces (wind, temperature changes). Indoor radon level can be predicted by using an experimental model which is based on previous experience and experimental results. Based on previous experience and the Florida Radon Research Projects, an indoor radon prediction model is developed to predict the potential indoor radon levels by the combination effect of average area indoor radon level, aerial radioactivity, geology, soil permeability and structural type. The predicted indoor radon levels could be a critical index for further treatment of the house.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133550387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detector, which uses values of features derived from the waveform, can classify the waveform as signal or noise, or it can be uncertain, that is, it can decide that no conclusion regarding presence or absence of a signal can be drawn. Piecewise linear membership functions were used, and analytical expressions for the dependence of classification on the membership function parameters were obtained. These results were verified in a simulation, using sensory evoked potential signals and simulated noise. The performance of the system was compared to a Bayesian maximum likelihood detector. By varying membership function parameters, the fuzzy detector can be made comparable to the Bayesian detector or it can almost completely eliminate errors, at the cost of a large number of uncertain classifications.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132266239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the same patient, some doctors suggest a nourishing method and others recommend a dissipating method. Although diagnosis and therapy are completely contrasting among doctors the results may be the same. However, it would be difficult to combine their knowledge and rules together. The paper is intended to solve the above mentioned problem via automatic inference and decision in a multi expert system. Although the suggested model is especially suitable for the automatic inference and decision making in a medicinal multi expert system, it is generally useful for any multi expert systems.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129626273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fuzzy basis function network (FBFN) expansions of multi-input single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems are then given in order to describe the input-output relationships of fuzzy systems. Sinusoidal membership functions are introduced for fuzzy systems with a graded value over [0,1]. Functional equivalence between the two systems is analytically shown.

The notion of a truncated fuzzy number is introduced and its properties are studied. It is proven that the direct image of a fuzzy singleton under a fuzzy numerical function always is a truncated fuzzy number. A strict ordering in the set of truncated fuzzy numbers is constructed and it is shown that the class of fuzzy numbers, endowed with this ordering, forms a lattice. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, maximum and minimum of fuzzy numerical functions are defined and the distributivity of the direct image of a fuzzy singleton with respect to these operations is obtained. Carefully chosen definitions of lower and upper semi-continuity of fuzzy numerical functions are presented. The behaviour of addition, subtraction, maximum and minimum of lower (resp. upper) semi-continuous fuzzy numerical functions is investigated.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125745083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
