Handbook of Mathematical Fuzzy Logic. Volume 3

open access: yes, 2016
Originating as an attempt to provide solid logical foundations for fuzzy set theory, and motivated also by philosophical and computational problems of vagueness and imprecision, Mathematical Fuzzy Logic (MFL) has become a significant subfield of ...

Opportunities and Alliances: The Relational Dynamics of Criminal Collusion in Latin America

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico and judicial wiretap analysis in Argentina, this paper shows that collusion between state actors and violent non‐state actors operates through fluid and competitive relational networks rather than stable hierarchies or fixed institutional arrangements.

Estimation of Performance Indices for the Planning of Sustainable Transportation Systems

open access: yesAdvances in Fuzzy Systems, 2013
In the context of sustainable transportation systems, previous studies have either focused only on the transportation system or have not used a methodology that enables the treatment of incomplete, vague, and qualitative information associated with the ...

A Fuzzy Logic based Method for Efficient Retrieval of Vague and Uncertain Spatial Expressions in Text Exploiting the Granulation of the Spatial Event Queries

open access: yesCoRR, 2013
The arrangement of things in n-dimensional space is specified as Spatial. Spatial data consists of values that denote the location and shape of objects and areas on the earths surface. Spatial information includes facts such as location of features, the relationship of geographic features and measurements of geographic features.

What political theory can learn from conceptual engineering: The case of “corruption”

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Conceptual change is commonplace in political theory. Recent scholarship argues that improving a concept, or “engineering” it, can sharpen its normative and explanatory power. This article illustrates what political theory can learn from conceptual engineering (CE) by examining the evolution of “corruption” as a case study.

The Conformational Contribution to Molecular Complexity and Its Implications for Information Processing in Living Beings and Chemical Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesBiomimetics
This work highlights the relevant contribution of conformational stereoisomers to the complexity and functions of any molecular compound. Conformers have the same molecular and structural formulas but different orientations of the atoms in the three ...

A Unifying Field in Logics: Neutrosophic Logic.

open access: yes, 1999
The author makes an introduction to non-standard analysis, then extends the dialectics to “neutrosophy” – which became a new branch of philosophy. This new concept helps in generalizing the intuitionistic, paraconsistent, dialetheism, fuzzy logic to ...
