CNC turning is widely used as a manufacturing process through which unwanted material is removed to get the high degree of surface rough. In this research article, Taguchi technique was coupled with grey relation analysis (GRA) to optimize the turning parameters for simultaneous improvement of productivity, average surface roughness (Ra), and root mean square roughness (Rq).Taguchi technique L2...

In this paper we describe Lokutor, a virtual human. Lokutor is a partially autonomous agent, living a 3D virtual environment. The agent can be controlled via natural language directives of the user (spoken or typed in) and by direct manipulation using a gra cal user interface. Its control system consists of a behavior-based reactive layer, a deliberative control layer and an motivational subsys...

It has been observed experimentally that the mapping of global to detailed routing in conventional FPGA routing architecture (2D array) yields unpredictable results. In [8,10,13], a different class of FPGA structures called Greedy Routing Architectures (GRAs), where a locally optimal switch box routing can be extended to an optimal entire chip routing, were investigated. It was shown that GRAs ...

Abstract The particleboard (PB) production is an extremely complex process, many operating parameters affecting panel quality. It a big challenge to optimize the PB parameters. of particle gluing have important influence on internal bond (IB) strength PB. In this study, using grey relation analysis (GRA) and support vector regression (SVR) algorithm, prediction model was developed accurately pr...

Glucocorticoid excess frequently results in obesity, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and hypertension and may be the product of altered glucocorticoid hormone action. Tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoid is regulated by the expression of glucocorticoid receptor isoforms (GRa and GRb) and 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I (11bHSD1)-mediated intracellular synthesis of active cortis...

A new formalism for building network models in Prolog is proposed. It is based on a new semantic i n terpretation of the Prolog variables and clauses, which are used to represent the network l inks and nodes respectively. The problem of attribut ed gra ph mod el of polyhedral objects is used as an application area, where the proposed methods are examined.

BACKGROUND Ulcer type and non-ulcer type interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndromes (IC/BPS) are considered different disease entities. Thus, intravesical botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) treatment outcomes could differ for each entity. OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare the treatment outcomes of BoNT-A injections for treatment of each IC/BPS type. STUDY DESIGN Prospective interventional study....

The financial status of an enterprise is related to its healthy and long-term development, whether the interests investors bank loans can be guaranteed. To improve prediction accuracy corporate risk, this paper proposes a model for risk that integrates GRA-TOPSIS SMOTE-CNN. First, using make comprehensive evaluation situation listed companies. Second, results are clustered obtain scientific lev...

The carburized holes processed by ordinary internal grinding are prone to burn, crack, and low efficiency. Honing has a superior machining efficiency cooling effect compared traditional grinding. In this paper, we innovatively apply honing carburizing hole propose an effective optimization scheme enhance the surface finish of holes. We set up experimental system explore influence law head rotat...

Rumen function is generally suboptimal leading to losses in methane and nitrogen. Analysis of the rumen microbiome is thus important to understanding the underlying microbial activity under different feeding strategies. This study investigated the effect of forage conservation method and vitamin E supplementation on rumen function using a rumen simulation technique. Ryegrass (GRA) or ryegrass h...
