In this paper the propagation of information about fault states and its implementation in high-speed networks is discussed. The algebraic concept of a lattice (partial ordered set with supremum and in mum) is used to describe the necessary operation. It turns out that popular algorithms can be handled this way. Using the properties of lattices e cient implementation options can be found.

A Silicon Drift Detector Front-End and a Smart Readout System different from a trivial zerosuppression is proposed. ON-LINE pre-processing, using a Fast VLSI dedicated Fuzzy Processor, reduces significantly acquisition data volume and hardware requirements.

We introduce a new regression method – called Correlated Component Regression (CCR) – which provides reliable predictions even with near multicollinear data. Near multicollinearity occurs when a large number of correlated predictors and relatively small sample size exists as well as situations involving a relatively small number of correlated predictors. Different variants of CCR are tailored t...

A major challenges facing landscape geneticists studying adaptive variation is to include all the environmental variables that might be correlated with allele frequencies across the genome. One way of identifying loci that are possibly under selection is to see which ones are associated with environmental gradient or heterogeneity. Since it is difficult to measure all environmental variables, o...

Studies on prediction recognize the presence of a large number predictors school-academic performance, as well existence well-established predictors, nevertheless some psychoeducational variables remain little explored, even though their great potential. One these is reflective thinking. The Laboratory for Research Cognitive Architecture (LAICO) at Federal University Minas Gerais brought forth ...
