AN INTRODUCTION TO DSmT. FIRST PART
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 2
Abstract
The management and combination of uncertain, imprecise, fuzzy and even paradoxical or highly conflicting sources of information has always been, and still remains today, of primal importance for the development of reliable modern information systems involving artificial reasoning. In this introduction, we present a survey of our recent theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT), developed for dealing with imprecise, uncertain and conflicting sources of information. We focus our presentation on the foundations of DSmT and on its most important rules of combination, rather than on browsing specific applications of DSmT available in literature. Several simple examples are given throughout this presentation to show the efficiency and the generality of this new theory.

INFLUENCE OF LANTHANUM DOPING ON THE STRUCTURAL, MORPHOLOGICAL AND THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NICKEL FERRITE
Lanthanum doped nickel ferrite – NiFe1-δLaδO4 has been synthesised by solid state reaction using nickel and iron oxides (NiO and Fe2O3) and lanthanum hydroxide (La(OH)3). The samples have been investigated by X-ray diffr...
BUILDING UP HIGH QUALITY ROADMAP USING VERTEX CLASSIFICATION BASED INCREMENTAL PATH PLANNER
Poor quality roadmaps can lead to in-optimal paths and lengthy path planning processes. Incremental path planners allow undesired vertices of the newly developed components to be removed when updating the existing roadma...
SONOELASTIC DETERMINATION OF THE KNEE CARTILAGE ELASTICITY
Sonoelasticity and Doppler imaging are applied in this paper to detect the damage process of the knee cartilage. The cartilage is a firm, thick, slippery tissue that acts as a protective cushion between bones. It is pres...

VALIDATION OF NEW RIGID BODY DYNAMICS FORMULATION USING ROTATION MATRICES ELEMENTS AS DEPENDENT PARAMETERS − DOUBLE PENDULUM CASE STUDY
The method of using the rotation matrix elements as dependent parameters for the 3D rotation of a rigid body is currently very rarely used in multibody dynamics. Nevertheless, this redundant parameterization of 3D rotati...
