Image Segmentation Using Credibility Critical Values
Abstract: In this paper, a method of creating fuzzy data matrix (a matrix whose elements are fuzzy variables) representing an image is proposed. Further, a study on image segmentation carried out on the basis of such a matrix is carried out. This work considers three methods of crisp conversion available in credibility theory. Their performances have been evaluated under k-means clustering and rough k-means clustering with the help of a mammogram …

A Critical Appraisal of Nutritional Value of Mashadi Modaka in Ativyayama Janit Poshana Abhava (Relative Energy Deficiency) in Sports Persons
Abstract: Background: Sports Medicine is defined as physical fitness, treatment and prevention of injury related to sports and exercise. As per Ayurvedic classical texts, in the concept of Dinacharya, Vyayama is defined as physical exercise and is advised to be performed at Ardhashakti (~half of one’s capacity). Otherwise, Atiyoga Lakshana, such as Shrama (~excessive fatigue), Klama (~exhaustion), Kshaya (~depletion), etc., may be observed. Nowadays, it is observed that most sportspersons consume …

Effect of the Position of Geotextile on the Performance Parameters of the Flexible Pavement
Abstract: The major deterioration of the flexible pavement is due to the combined effect of fatigue cracking caused by excessive horizontal strain at the bottom of the bituminous layer and rutting deformation caused by excessive vertical strain at the top of subgrade layer. For designing the flexible pavement, it is necessary to determine the minimum thickness of the road crust, required to withstand the expected fatigue life and rutting life. The …

An Exact Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test for the Logarithmic Series Distribution with Unknown Parameter
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, we develop an exact Kolmogorov–Smirnov goodness-of-fit test in the case of logarithmic series distribution with an unknown parameter value. This test is conditional, with the test statistic being the maximum absolute difference between the empirical distribution function and its conditional expectation given the sample total. Some modifications are done on an algorithm previously proposed in the case of the Poisson distribution and used the modified algorithm for …

Modeling and Analysis of Crack Initiation in a Cylindrical Specimen
Abstract: In an engineering component subjected to variable loading/cyclic stressing, the stress and stress state, particularly the plastic strain and the triaxiality, play an important role in determining its life. Ductile materials predominantly fail by void growth, and crack initiation in ductile material can be associated with a specified volume of voids. Estimation of this crack initiation life and the remaining life through analytical modeling and comparing it through experimental testing …

An Exact Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test for the Negative Binomial Distribution with Unknown Probability of Success
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, we develop an exact Kolmogorov–Smirnov goodness-of-fit test in the case of negative binomial distribution with an unknown probability of success. This test is conditional, with the test statistic being the maximum absolute difference between the empirical distribution function and its conditional expectation given the sample total. The results are not asymptotic, but exact. We illustrate the test with three examples in case the size parameter equals one …
