Fuzzy Logic and Its Application in Football Team Ranking by Wenyi Zeng, Junhong Li

“…In this paper, we use fuzzy set theory and apply fuzzy clustering analysis in football team ranking. Based on some certain rules, we propose four parameters to calculate fuzzy similar matrix, obtain fuzzy equivalence matrix and the ranking result for our numerical example, T7, T3, T1, T9, T10, T8, T11, T12, T2, T6, T5, T4, and investigate four parameters sensitivity analysis. …”

Are the Metrology Vocabulary (JCGM VIM) and the ISO and CLSI Vocabulary for Medical Laboratories Divergent? by Marco Pradella

“…Despite all the efforts to coordinate terminologies, it is inevitable that overlapping and inconsistent terminologies will continue to be used because documents and policies are produced in different contexts. In some ISO/TC 212 and CLSI documents, the phenomenon of magnetic attraction toward common words (such as “analysis” and derivatives), without any consideration of the true metrological meaning, is noted. …”
