    This paper shows an application of fuzzy information granulation to medical image segmentation for MR angiography image. The method treats medical image as information, and the granules are the anatomical parts such as blood vessel, fat, etc. Our granulation method consists of two stages : (1) Quantum generation and (2) Integration of them to produce granules. Quantum generation is performed with watershed segmentation. Integration process is achievedby estimating the degree for predefined models. By granulating MR angiography image, we obtain the bloodvessel region. In the experimental results, we show the target M IP and shaded surface display images of the segmented region. They are useful for evaluating the lesions such as the areury.

    This paper shows a method to segment the menisci regions from MR image by using fuzzy inference. The method is composed of two steps. First, we segment the cartiladge region by thresholding of the intensity. We extract the candidate region of the menisci as the region between the cartilages. Second, we segment the menisci voxels from the candidate region based on fuzzy if-then rules obtained from knowledge of location and intensity. Our method can successfully segment the menisci region from MR data sets. The generated visualizations will help medical doctor to diagnose the menisci with noninvasive.

    Aim of this study is to consider the accuracy in differentiating between benign odontogenic tumor (ameloblastoma) and cyst (odontogenic keratocyst) on CT image using neural network. In order to determine the weights and the biases of our neural network system, 53 cases (29 ameloblastomas, and 24 odontogenic keratocysts) were used for the learning mode. Another 20 cases (6 ameloblastomas, and 14 odontogenic keratocysts) were evaluated for determining the accuracy in the test mode. The result showed that the diagnostic accuracy was 85 %. It was suggested that the neural network is useful for differentiating these lesions.

    Recently the digital dental imaging system (DDIS) has been developed and spread widely. The density distribution of DDIS images, however, are insufficient or inadequate. Therefore, the authors considered the density optimization of DDIS images, and applied the fuzzy reasoning and fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm for this purpose. According to our method, density distribution of most DDIS images could be improved appropriately. Moreover, this method could be applied to the dose reduction of the patients. Consequently, it was suggested that the absorbed dose could be decreased 38.3%.

    This paper presents a diagnostic method of a large-scale circulatory system model by applying a structural analysis to the model, where principal causes of an unusual variable are detected for direct or indirect influence processes. We use Coleman's model HUMAN, which consists of 25 physiological modules, over 200 variables and over 100 parameters. A sensitivity analysis serves to find strong-causal relationship between variables in the complex model, and a structural analysis visualizes hierarchical relationship among variables.

    People using information system comes to be not only computer specialists but also ordinary people like school kids or housewives, because of high development of internet technology. For example, when the users who has different interests and different tastes would retrieve some information using same keywords, the conventional system answers just same retrieval results to both of the users. It is not enough for users' requirements. We need any adjustable mechanisms which can treat each user's subjective information for human-centered system. In this paper, we show the interactive interface which is a part of human-centered system through image retrieval experiments.

    In this paper, a fuzzy concept is employed to construct a principal component model which can deal with fuzziness, vagueness or possibility of a system, which is named a possibilistic principal component analysis. The principal component analysis is to analyze a possibility of fuzzy numbers. The possibilistic principal component analysis has three formulations according the portions which the possibilities included in fuzzy numbers are embodied : 1) an eigenvalue, 2) an eigenvector and 3) both eigenvalue and eigenvector. In this paper, we discuss about the first formulation 1) that an eigenvalue is employed to deal with fuzziness of data. The possibilistic principal component analysis is employed in this paper to analyze the features of information technology industry. In this analysis, the financial ratio is employed as indices. And we evaluate the possibility of a company activity in information technology industry.

    Fuzzy c-Varieties by Bezdek et al. is an fuzzy clustering method whose fitting prototypes are hyperplanes and the orthogonal distances from points to the planes are minimized. Since each plane corresponds to the space spanned by the principal component vectors, we apply this clustering algorithm to community medicine cost for simultaneous analysis of clustering and principal component. The entropy regularization by Miyamoto et al. is introduced to the Fuzzy c-varieties algorithm.

    MRSA sepsis is still the most fatal disease among various nosocomial infections in our country. To cure patients with MRSA sepsis, rapid diagnosis is essential. However, it takes several days to identify MRSA in a laboratory, while MRSA sepsis causes DIG within a few days resulting in patient death. Thus, vancomycin therapy often starts too late to cure patients. In this study, we tried to create a rapid diagnosis system for MRSA sepsis using fuzzy inference. Clinical data of 5 patients with the disease were applied to the system, then the usefulness was evaluated.

    A fuzzy inference was applied to analyze microscars, such as striations and pits on the surfaces of teeth, in relation to mastication and threatening of Japanese macaques. The mastication means the behavior by contacts between maxillary and mandibular teeth. In macaques the threatening behavior occurs between the maxillary canines and the mandibular third premolars. In this paper the results of scanning electron microscopy of these microscars on the teeth were reported, and the reasons of their occurrence and their features in relation to their behaviors were inferred using the fuzzy logic.

    In the case where data which come out of several different systems are analyzed by a regression model, we should separate some partition of data which come from one system and analyze each of partitions by a regression model in the proper way. Bezdek has proposed a switching regression model based on cluster analysis and regression analysis. In this study, we propose the genetic model of fuzzy switching regression model based on a fuzzy regression model.

    A new type of neuron model is proposed including the simulated synaptic function where the symbolized particles are generated, emitted, stored and released towards the neurons of the next layer, as a simplified analogy of the function that real neurons and synapses do by chemical particles. The simulated system of the model was applied to the analysis of voiced signals, and obtained useful results such that even with a single neuron including the unit simulated synapse, the voices examined demonstrated a high degree of recognition. The reaction mechanism in simulated synaptic region would be shown by the mass strategy.

    Neural computing has emerged as a practical and powerful tool for "nonlinear" multivariate statistical analysis. In this paper, nonlinear discriminant analysis using a neural network is considered and the probabilistic interpretation of the network output is discussed in a two-class discriminant problem. The principle of the likelihood in network models is employed based on a probabilistic approach regarding the connection weights of the network as unknown parameters. Neural network model may be sensitive to outlying responses. Some diagnostic measures, which had been developed in regression models, are applied in order to detect such observations and quantify their effects in model fitting. Additionally, the information criterion, EIC, and estimates of a true error rate of a prediction rule are discussed when fitting neural network models by employing the bootstrap method.

    In this research,we proposed a method to improve the search capacity of genetic algorithm. The genetic operations of a simple GA are mainly constructed by the crossover and the mutation. The mutation almost works to hold the variety of solutions in the first stage. The crossover almost works to converge solutions in the last stage. The former play a trick mainly in the last stage and the later in the first stage. Therefore, we improved the search capacity of Simple GA by controlling the mutation rate and the selection rate with fuzzy rules. Simulation results of Traveling Salesman Problem are also shown in this paper.

    This paper proposes an additive fuzzy functional reasoning method which aggregates a final inference result by using sum operation rather than max from inference results obtained by fuzzy rules whose consequent part consits of a fuzzy function. The additive fuzzy functional reasoning method is shown to be reduced to a functional reasoning method with a compatibility function which represents the characteristics such as area, base length and importantness of the fuzzy functional rule. The functional reasoning method with compatibility function includes ordinary functional reasoning method by Sugeno and weighted functional reasoning method by Mizumoto as special cases.

    We have established how to regulate tissue histology by using Fuzzy Set Chaos Theory (BMFSA Kyushu). We applied this theory on to metastatic tumor cell that proliferate rapidly and migrate into suburban organ and tissue. The basic regulation was to plane gene expression by programming with F-BASIC/WINDOWS to envelop metastatic malignant cell by commanding fibroblast to move around the metastatic cells in the tissue. The ON commands we used were 1) synthesize collagens by ascorbic acid, 2) increase collagen mRNA translation by adding glycine, proline, cysteine, 3) envelop metastatic cell by combining collagens with elastin activated by calcium, 4) proliferate fibrogenic cells by thiamin, riboflavin, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamine. A supplement stop was used for the OFF command. Commands were transduced by blood current, and monitored by X-ray photography and CT-scan.

    This paper aims to reexamine two kinds of mutuality between fuzzy concepts, i.e. "similarity" and "matching" through three psychological experiments. Based on the results from this study, the findings on the mutuality in Yoshikawa (1998) are reviewed. Therefore, the correlation analysis between 30 indices and subjective ratings of the mutuality confirms the following. The indices related to distance along element axis correspond to the subjective ratings than those that express degree of overlap. The other findings, however, are not verified from these results.

    We formulate a new correspondence analysis based on the L_s-norm and propose a neural solution algorithm by the interior point method of mathematical programming. We analyze the psychological feelings for senior-simulations which are for the mimetic experience of advanced aged persons. We show that the psychological feelings or the attitude to the senior-simulation vary by the personalities and interests of youngsters and are clearly classified by our proposed method.

    To grope for better interface or new communication form with machines, like a computer, studies on face and look have been done in various kinds of field. Then using characteristic point data extracted from man face, the similarity of each looks such as joy or angry is claimed and which look is more similar to the optional look is judged. And sending out a questionnaire on ten people to know man's general idea of look, we could find from the result that the importance of each characteristic point become characteristic proportion on each look.

    It is important to make a computer that can deal with human sensibility. But this is difficult problem by the reason that it includes subjectivity, vagueness, ambiguity and conditional dependence. For example, the more we try to construct a general database that can express human's sensibility, the more the database loses its information. It is important that these systems include an adjustable mechanism that reflects subjective response of each person. And values of each attribute in the database or parameter of the system should adjust to personality. This paper proposes a best adjustable system to person so as to deal with human's sensibility on computer.
