Wu and Joseph [35] incorporated fuzzy logic into a knowledge-based control system for control of composite curing. They used the fuzzy logic to interpret the sensors and adjust the amount of control reaction on a simulated process. Even though the limitations of the simulator used did not allow full evaluation of the advantages of this system, it did show that the controller could react to material and process variations and improve the process plan. 

The Fourier transform describes precisely the mathematical relationship between an object and its diffraction pattern. In Figs. 2.7-2.10, the diffraction patterns are the Fourier transforms of the corresponding objects or arrays of objects. To put it another way, the Fourier transform is the lens-simulating operation that a computer performs to produce an image of molecules (or more precisely, of electron clouds) in the crystal. This view of p(x,y,z) as the Fourier transform of the structure factors implies that if we can measure three parameters— amplitude, frequency, and phase — of each reflection, then we can obtain the function p(x,y,z), graph the function, and "see" a fuzzy image of the molecules in the unit cell. 

Control based on neural network. Similar to fuzzy logic modeling, neural network analysis uses a series of previous data to execute simulations of the process, with a high degree of success, without however using formal mathematical models (Chen and Rollins, 2000). To this goal, it is necessary to define inputs, outputs, and how many layers of neurons will be used, which depends on the number of variables and the available data. 

This section provides an overview of common methods for quantitative uncertainty analysis of inputs to models and the associated impact on model outputs. Furthermore, consideration is given to methods for analysis of both variability and uncertainty. In practice, commonly used methods for quantification of variability, uncertainty or both are typically based on numerical simulation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation or Latin hypercube sampling. However, there are other techniques that can be applied to the analysis of uncertainty, some of which are non-probabilistic. Examples of these are interval analysis and fuzzy methods. The latter are briefly reviewed. Since probabilistic methods are commonly used in practice, these methods receive more detailed treatment here. The use of quantitative methods for variability and uncertainty is consistent with, or informed by, the key hallmarks of data...

The divide between these two end-members can be fuzzy in practice (Figure 5.2). Development of hybrid codes that employ each method on different components of a model has been a great advance in modeling larger-scale systems.37 Termed QM/MM for quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics, this approach will likely enjoy widespread utilization and success in fields such as soil science, environmental chemistry, and geochemistry due to the nature and complexity of reactions in these fields. Furthermore, as computers become more powerful and software becomes more advanced, it becomes feasible to perform molecular simulations using quantum... 

In the work of Zachmann et al. new approaches to the quantification of surface flexibility have been suggested. The basis data for these approaches are supplied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The methods have been applied to two proteins (PTI and ubiquitin). The calculation and visualization of the local flexibility of molecular surfaces is based on the notion of the solvent accessible surface (SAS), which was introduced by Connolly. For every point on this surface a probability distribution p(r) is calculated in the direction of the surface normal, i.e., the rigid surface is replaced by a soft surface. These probability distributions are well suited for the interactive treatment of molecular entities because the former can be visualized as color coded on the molecular surface although they cannot be directly used for quantitative shape comparisons. In Section IV we show that the p values can form the basis for a fuzzy definition of vaguely defined surfaces and their quantitative comparison. 

Uncertainties inherent to the risk assessment process can be quantitatively described using, for example, statistical distributions, fuzzy numbers, or intervals. Corresponding methods are available for propagating these kinds of uncertainties through the process of risk estimation, including Monte Carlo simulation, fuzzy arithmetic, and interval analysis. Computationally intensive methods (e.g., the bootstrap) that work directly from the data to characterize and propagate uncertainties can also be applied in ERA. Implementation of these methods for incorporating uncertainty can lead to risk estimates that are consistent with a probabilistic definition of risk. 

The simplest method of accounting for variability consists in identifying the parameters, experimental data, and model output with an average or reference individual [45], One shortcoming of this approach is that although general model behavior is representative, much of the actual population may not be well described. Methods attempting to explicitly account for variability and uncertainty include Monte Carlo simulations [18,46,48], Bayesian population methods [49-51,53,56], the use of fuzzy sets [44,52], and other probability based methods [43], Monte Carlo simulations, which model the parameter variability in terms of probability distributions, are the most common methods. Each individual is characterized by a set of parameters whose values are drawn from a... 

Global SA is based on simulations where results are conditioned on uncertainty distributions across all parameters. Uncertainty is quantitatively defined for all parameters (models) through the use of appropriate distribution models (28) or using distributions from prior reports or models. The latter method, which does not require an assumed model parameter probability distribution function, may include use of fuzzy set theory (29) or the use of bootstrapped estimates from previous estimations. Monte Carlo methods are required to simulate from the uncertainty distributions at the intertrial level. This usually requires one set of simulations with a large number of replicates. The number of trial replicates is discussed in Chapter 33, where this number may need to be further increased for the global SA.
