The objective of this study was to investigate fuzzy clustering analysis based on subtractive clustering algorithm for modeling of Soil Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). In this work, seventy soil samples were collected from different horizons of 15 soil profiles located in the Ziaran region, Qazvin province, Iran. The data set was divided into two subsets. One for calibration (80% data) and seco...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and precision of polyurethane (PUT) dental arch models fabricated using a three-dimensional (3D) subtractive rapid prototyping (RP) method with an intraoral scanning technique by comparing linear measurements obtained from PUT models and conventional plaster models. METHODS Ten plaster models were duplicated using a selected standard master ...

We define and study the ternary analogues of Clifford algebras. It is proved that the ternary Clifford algebra with N generators is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the elements of grade zero of the ternary Clifford algebra with N+1 generators. In the case N = 3 the ternary commutator of cubic matrices induced by the ternary commutator of the elements of grade zero is derived. We apply the terna...

: Quantum-dot cellular automata are an interesting nanoscale computing paradigm. The introduction of the ternary quantum-dot cell enabled ternary computing, and with the recent development of a ternary functionally complete set of elementary logic primitives and the ternary memorizing cell design of complex processing structures is becoming feasible. The specific nature of the ternary quantum-d...

This paper investigates the synthesis of quantum networks built to realize ternary switching circuits in the absence of ancilla bits. The results we established are twofold. The first shows that ternary Swap, ternary NOT and ternary Toffoli gates are universal for the realization of arbitrary n× n ternary quantum switching networks without ancilla bits. The second result proves that all n×n qua...

In this paper we introduce an advanced mean field method to correct the inherent bias of conventional subtractive interference cancellation in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). In simulations, we get a performance quite close to that of the individual optimal exponential complexity detector and significant improvements over current state-of-the-art subtractive interference cancellation in a...

Design of a decision-aiding model between subtractive manufacturing and 3Dprinting Tuan Minh Ryan Pham and Colton Harrison 3D-printing is becoming more and more widely used in industry. As this happens, manufacturers are becoming unsure of when to use this new technology and when to trudge on with subtractive (conventional) manufacturing processes. Subtractive manufacturing processes are well-e...

This paper discusses the problem of single-channel speech enhancement in variable noise-level environment. Commonly used, singlechannel subtractive-type speech enhancement algorithms always assume that the background noise level is fixed or slowly varying. In fact, the background noise level may vary quickly. This condition usually results in wrong speech/noise detection and wrong speech enhanc...
