Abstract Uncontrolled population increase has a direct impact on the development of human resource quality, and rate economic growth is becoming increasingly challenging. It was purpose study to apply artificial intelligence tools examine forecasts active family planning participants. Between 2019 2020, Pematangsiantar’s participants will be counted as part dataset. The dataset gathered through...

The back-propagation neural network algorithm is a commonly used method for predicting the secondary structure of proteins. Whilst popular, this method can be slow to learn and here we compare it with an alternative: the cascade-correlation architecture. Using a constructive algorithm, cascade-correlation achieves predictive accuracies comparable to those obtained by back-propagation, in shorte...

In this paper we study the scheduling of (m, k)–firm synchronous periodic task systems using the Distance Based Priority (DBP) scheduler. We first show three phenomena: (i) choosing, for each task, the initial k-sequence 1k is not optimal, (ii) we can even start the scheduling from a (fictive) error state (in regard to the initial k-sequence) and (iii) the period of feasible DBP-schedules is no...

OBJECTIVES: The main objectives of this project were to (1) conduct a systematic investigation for developing a fundamental understanding of how activated carbons should be tailored for enhanced removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from natural waters; and (2) investigate the effectiveness of some carbon tailoring approaches for disinfection by-products (DBP) formation control at typical d...

BACKGROUND: The practice of using disinfectants to safeguard against the acute effects of waterborne disease are well established and regulated in the United States. New regulations designed to minimize the risks associated with chronic exposure to disinfection by-products (DBPs), however, are changing the current regulatory framework. Changes in disinfection practices meant to comply with thes...

In this paper we study the scheduling of (m, k )–firm synchronous periodic task systems using the Distance Based Priority (DBP) scheduler. We first show three (counter-intuitive) phenomena: (i) choosing, for each task, the initial k -sequence 1k is not optimal, (ii) even less intuitive, but not contradictory, we can even start the scheduling from a (fictive) error state (in regard to the initia...

Disinfection is the most essential and final treatment given to drinking water to render the water free from harmful pathogens. The most conventional and common form of disinfection involves the use of strong oxidants that have the potential to produce undesirable disinfection by-products (DBP). Therefore, many researchers have been trying to find alternative disinfection methods to reduce the ...
