This paper examines the diverse responses of the German states to the Code Napoleon at the beginning of the nineteenth century. These states differed both in the extent to which they adopted the Code, and the extent to which they retained the Code after Napoleon’s influence waned. In order to...

While reducing the dimensionality of a corpus, concept decomposition (CD) based on fuzzy K-means (FKM) clustering provides better approximation than CD based on spherical k-means clustering. However, performance of the FKM algorithm is limited by its distance metric and it is proved that...

This paper examines the various multi-criteria approaches of fuzzy classification rule mining. An updated state-of-the-art multi-objective genetic algorithm is given. Further, various genetic algorithm-based fuzzy classification rule mining techniques are studied. In view of the intractability...

This paper describes a simple approach based on logic concept for switching the shunt capacitors in the substations by fuzzy logic approach is described, which achieves a logical and feasible economic cost of operation without need of mathematical formulation. The results obtained from the fuzzy...

For any manufacturing or service organization, selecting the right upstream suppliers is a key success factor that will significantly reduce purchasing cost, increase downstream customer satisfaction and improve competitive ability. There are several quantitative as well as qualitative criteria,...
