Abstract:
Rule weights in a neuro-fuzzy system with a hierarchical domain partitionThe paper discusses the problem of rule weight tuning in neuro-fuzzy systems with parameterized consequences in which rule weights and the activation of the rules are not interchangeable. Some heuristic methods of rule weight computation in neuro-fuzzy systems with a hierarchical input domain partition and parameterized consequences are proposed. Several heuristics with experimental results showing the advantage of their usage are presented.

Abstract:
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a natural framework to learn from examples. Indeed, learning from examples results in sets of frequent concepts whose extent contains mostly these examples. In terms of association rules, the above learning strategy can be seen as searching the premises of rules where the consequence is set. In its most classical setting, FCA considers attributes as a non-ordered set. When attributes of the context are partially ordered to form a taxonomy, Conceptual Scaling allows the taxonomy to be taken into account by producing a context completed with all attributes deduce

We study a family of deterministic models for highway traffic flow which generalize cellular automaton rule 184. This family is parameterized by the speed limit m and another parameter k that represents a "degree of aggressiveness" in driving, strictly related to the distance between two consecutive cars. We compare two driving strategies with identical maximum throughput: "conservative" driving with high speed limit and "aggressive" driving with low speed limit. Those two strategies are evaluated in terms of accident probability. We also discuss fundamental diagrams of generalized traffic rul

PHYGROW, a hydrologic-based forage simulation model, was parameterized to represent a typical South Texas ranch engaged in the production of cattle and meat goats with an indigenous population of white-tailed deer. Forage production and associated stocking rates for two cattle:goat ratios were simulated with POPMIX for 20 years. Two ten-year weather scenarios, one representing normal conditions (30% drought years) and one representing dryer weather conditions (50% drought years) were analyzed. Management decision rules (ASPC) were developed for the region to produce estimates of annual animal

Abstract:
Recent scholarship argues that one solution to ensure longevity and economic growth in an authoritarian regime is to co-opt potential opposition by offering them limited policy influence in a national legislature. Although cooptation theory generates a number of predictions for delegate behavior within an authoritarian parliament, the opacity of such regimes has made empirical confirmation difficult. We resolve this problem by exploiting the transcripts of query sessions in the Vietnamese National Assembly, where delegates question the prime minister and Cabinet members on important issues of

We deal with the expressive power of if-then rules called fuzzy attribute implications (FAIs) which can be seen as formulas A ⇒ B where both A and B are conjunctions of subformulas containing propositional variables and constants for truth degrees and whose interpretation is parameterized by linguistic hedges. The formulas admit the following model-theoretical property: a system of fuzzy sets [Formula: see text] is a fuzzy closure system satisfying an additional condition of being closed under a*-shifts (so-called L*-closure system) if and only if [Formula: see text] is a system of models of a

Abstract:
I review the multiple successes of the discrete hard-wired dopant network model ZZIP, and comment on the equally numerous failures of continuum models, in describing and predicting the properties of ceramic superconductors. The prediction of transition temperatures can be regarded in several ways, either as an exacting test of theory, or as a tool for identifying theoretical rules for defining new homology models. Popular “first principle” methods for predicting transition temperatures in conventional crystalline superconductors have failed for cuprate HTSC, as have parameterized models based

Abstract:
In nonrigid molecules and molecular aggregates, the dependence of a property on conformation may be expressed in the form of a limited expansion in terms of appropriate harmonics. The use of the conjugate symmetry of the molecular groups to reduce such an expansion may have several advantages: (i) it helps decrease, sometimes drastically, the time required to calculate the conformational dependence of the considered property; (ii) it provides a parameterized functional form that can be used by experimentalists to rationalize their results.

Abstract:
Guided by the rules of Einstein’s geometrization philosophy, a pure geometric field theory is constructed. The Lagrangian used to derive the field equations of the theory is a curvature scalar of a version of absolute parallelism (AP) geometry known in the literature as the parameterized absolute parallelism (PAP) geometry. The linear connection of this version has simultaneously non-vanishing curvature and torsion. Analysis of the theory obtained shows clearly that it is a pure gravity theory. The theory is a teleparallel one, since the building blocks of both PAP and AP geometries are the sa

Often, these drones are very lightweight and are flown in backyards, sport fields, parking lots, and such places. They typically pose no lethal threat to people in the vicinity of the drone. Nonetheless, in many countries such drones are regulated by aviation rules that does not (sufficiently well) distinguish between these drones and the larger hobby or professional drones. Consequently such small drones are flown illegally. This has prompted some national aviation authorities to cons

Profiles are parameterized with Gauss-Hermite polynomials (van der Marel & Franx ApJ 407 1993; Rix & White MNRAS 254 1992). The fastest rotation (∼ 50 km s–1) and steepest central velocity gradient along the intermediate photometric axis rules out the possibility that NGC 474 is a face-on S0 (Schombert & Wallin AJ 94 1987) and suggests that it is triaxial. The asymmetry of the LOSVDs (h3 up to 0.08) indicates the presence of a subsystem with rapid, ordered rotation. The minor axi

In this study’s treatment, whitecapping is parameterized stochastically as an additive uncertainty in the fluid velocity. It is coupled to the Stokes drift as well as to the current velocity in the form of nonlinear momentum terms in the vortex force and the Bernoulli head.

Abstract:
The Workflow Satisfiability Problem (WSP) is a problem of practical interest that arises whenever tasks need to be performed by authorized users, subject to constraints defined by business rules. We are required to decide whether there exists a plan - an assignment of tasks to authorized users - such that all constraints are satisfied. It is natural to see the WSP as a subclass of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) in which the variables are tasks and the domain is the set of users. What makes the WSP distinctive is that the number of tasks is usually very small compared to the number o
