Organically modified sol-gel glass (ormosil) matrix is utilized as a template for the electrochemical polymerization of aniline. The ormosil matrix is further modulated by encapsulation of: (a) tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), and (b) tetracyanoquinodimethane together with palladium (Pd). The presence of tetracyanoquinodimethane within ormosil matrix considerably influences the polymerization p...

in this study a machine learning algorithm was applied in order to develop a predictive model for the changes in phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) in the lower nakdong river, south korea. we used a “hybrid evolutionary algorithm (hea)” which generated model consists of three functions ‘if-thenelse’ on the basis of a 15-year, weekly monitored ecological database. we used the average ...

in the regulated nakdong river, algal proliferations are annually observed in some seasons, with cyanobacteria (microcystis aeruginosa) appearing in summer and diatom blooms (stephanodiscus hantzschii) in winter. this study aims to develop two ecological models forecasting future chlorophyll a at two time-steps (one-week and one-year forecasts), using recurrent neural networks tuned by genetic...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

Accurate detection of QRS complexes is essential for the investigation of heart rate variability. Several transform techniques have been proposed and extensively used for the detection and analysis of QRS complexes. In this proposed work, the de-noised ECG signal is subjected to a modified S-transform for QRS complex detection.The performance analysis of the proposed work is evaluated using par...

background: the main goal of the present study was to develop a new sensitive and specific pcr based method for identification of cryptosporidium sp. using novel primers from 18s ribosomal rna. cryptosporidi­osis in high-risk host groups particularly in neonates and immuno-compromised individuals may result in death. to the best of our knowledge this is the first study regarding develop a new p...
