An Evidential Aggregation Method of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Based on Belief Entropy
IEEE Access, 2019 Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are essential in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) under uncertain environment. However, how to reasonably aggregate them with considering the uncertainty contained in the IFSs is still an open issue.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Is There a Unique Physical Entropy? Micro versus Macro [PDF]
, 2012 Entropy in thermodynamics is an extensive quantity, whereas standard methods in statistical mechanics give rise to a non-extensive expression for the entropy. This discrepancy is often seen as a sign that basic formulas of statistical mechanics should be

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Entropy-based semi-fragile watermarking of remote sensing images in the wavelet domain
, 2019 This article presents a semi-fragile image tampering detection method for multi-band images. In the proposed scheme, a mark is embedded into remote sensing images, which have multiple frequential values for each pixel, applying tree-structured vector ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

The normativity of belief [PDF]
, 2014 This is a survey of recent debates concerning the normativity of belief. We explain what the thesis that belief is normative involves, consider arguments for and against that thesis, and explore its bearing on debates in ...

Markov Entropy Decomposition: A Variational Dual for Quantum Belief Propagation [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 We present a lower bound for the free energy of a quantum many-body system at finite temperature. This lower bound is expressed as a convex optimization problem with linear constraints, and is derived using strong subadditivity of von Neumann entropy and a relaxation of the consistency condition of local density operators. The dual to this minimization
