ni-p and ni layers multilayer coatings were applied to az31 magnesium alloy utilizing electroless and electrodeposition procedures. the aim of the project was to decrease cracks and increase corrosion resistance of the coatings. in order to compare the coatings, the effect of single layer electroless ni-p coatings with different thicknesses was also investigated. the microstructure and phase co...

Human beings interact with the environment through different modalities, i.e. perceptions and actions. Different perceptions as view, audition or proprioception for example, are picked up by different spatially separated sensors. They are processed in the cortex by dedicated brain areas, which are self-organized, so that spatially close neurons are sensitive to close stimuli. However, the proce...

In order to classify different human brain states related to visual perception of ambiguous images, we use an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze multichannel EEG. The classifier built on the basis of a multilayer perceptron achieves up to 95% accuracy in classifying EEG patterns corresponding to two different interpretations of the Necker cube. The important feature of our classifier is...

Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) are formulated within Support Vector Machine (SVM) framework by constructing multilayer networks of SVMs. The coupled approximation scheme can take advantage of generalization capabilities of the SVM and the combinatory feature of the hidden layer of MLP. The network, the Multilayer Kerceptron (MLK) assumes its own backpropagation procedure that we shall derive here...

abstract background: the aim of this study was to investigate the various aspects of illness perceptions about breast cancer in affected patients. methods: a cross-sectional study enrolled 140 patients with breast cancer in their chemotherapy period within 14 months. the revised illness perception questionnaire (revised ipq) was used to assess the disease representations of breast cancer. the d...

abstract infiltration process is one of the most important components of the hydrological cycle. on the other hand, the direct measurement of infiltration process is laborious, time consuming and expensive. in this study, the possibility of predicting cumulative infiltration in specific time intervals, using readily available soil data and artificial neural networks (anns) was investigated. for...

A multilayer perceptron is usually considered a passive learner that only receives given training data. However, if a multilayer perceptron actively gathers training data that resolve its uncertainty about a problem being learnt, sufficiently accurate classification is attained with fewer training data. Recently, such active learning has been receiving an increasing interest. In this paper, we ...

Characterizing large-scale organization in networks, including multilayer networks, is one of the most prominent topics in network science and is important for many applications. One type of mesoscale feature is community structure, in which sets of nodes are densely connected internally but sparsely connected to other dense sets of nodes. Two of the most popular approaches for community detect...

  In this work,copper/palladium (Cu/Pd) multilayer nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Pd/Cu multilayer nanowires was controlled by analyzing the current–time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and resu...
