In this paper we present an approach to the coordination of complex systems operating in a multi-objective domain, which is an extention of the dynamic weighted aggregation method where the weightings are influenced by the decision makers themselves. This is implemented through an information theoretic voting model, taking its inspiration from the political science quantitative models of electi...

In this paper we describe a new hybrid distributed/shared memory parallel software for support vector machine learning on large data sets. The support vector machine (SVM) method is a well-known and reliable machine learning technique for classification and regression tasks. Based on a recently developed shared memory decomposition algorithm for support vector machine classifier design we incre...

The Koebe One Quarter Theorem states that the range of any Schlicht function contains centered disc radius 1/4 which is sharp due to value at −1. A natural question finding polynomials set sharpness for polynomials. In particular, it was asked in [7] whether Suffridge [15] are optimal. For degree 1 and 2 obviously true. It demonstrated [10] 3 not optimal a promising alternative family introduce...

This 32-year-old-man was admitted to the emergency department because of S1 left acute sciatica. An emergency CT-scan showed a highly probable appearance of herniated disc in L5-S1 level (A). The patient was operated without finding disc herniation, but an aspect of anterior and posterior epidural abscess compressing the dural sheath at L5-S1. Medullary MRI showed after the up and the down exte...

Background: Heat stress in the steel industry is considered as a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. A wide spectrum of complications and diseases from mild disorders such as burning sensation to fatal conditions such as thermal shock may occur due to uncontrolled thermal stress. In this study, heat stress assessment was performed according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBG...
