Feature selection is a key issue in the research on rough set theory. However, when handling large-scale data, many current feature selection methods based on rough set theory are incapable. In this paper, two novel feature selection methods are put ...

the host plant quality not only influences on herbivorous insects but also indirectly could impact on their natural enemies’ performance. the current study was conducted to determine the effect of different nitrogen fertilization levels of canola (brassica napus l.) on life table parameters of the predatory gall midge, aphidoletes aphidimyza rondani; diptera: cecidomyiidae, in feeding of mustar...

Decision-making in teams can be accomplished by including varying levels of team member opinion. This study considers two styles of group decision-making, consensus building and single leader decision-making with input from the team, in structured design selection tasks. The role of decision-making style in the speed of decision-making, team member satisfaction, and decision quality are examine...

background: metabolic syndrome (mets) is a serious public health concern worldwide; however, the pathogenesis of this disease has not been yet cleared. this study aimed to compare diet quality in obese/overweight participants with/without metabolic syndrome with normal weight controls.   methods: this was a comparative study on 147 iranian adults under treatment at the endocrinology center of t...

Colorimetric correction is a necessary task to generate comfortable stereoscopic images. This correction is usually performed with a 3D lookup table that can correct images in real-time and can deal with the non-independence of the colour channels. In this paper, we present a method to compute such 3D lookup table with a non-linear process that minimizes the colorimetric properties of the image...

kashan aquifer is adjacent to salt lake. because of this adjacency, the saline water of the lake has moved to the aquifer. in this study groundwater quality of the aquifer was simulated using artificial neural network (ann) model. for this purpose, the dominant ion of water was first determined by piper diagram. results showed that the sodium chloride is the dominant ion of water and so it was ...

2 TABLE-BASED NUMERICAL In this paper, we present a table-based numerical macromodeling method in which a MEMS device is modeled by a set of numerical ordinary differential equations and model functions are represented by look-up tables of numerical data. Cubic spline interpolation is used to evaluate model functions during simulation. Numerical linear models are also constructed for DC analysi...

Invasive tree species continue to spread, so in addition strategies limit this their use the production of innovative products must be considered. This research aimed develop and apply a model for calculating cost price invasive wood considering specificities materials process, is suitable quickly assessing economic feasibility using selected given product. The TDABC method with inclusion fuzzy...

This paper investigates the automatic induction of spatial attention from the visual observation of objects manipulated on a table top. In this work, space is represented in terms of a novel observer-object relative reference system, named Local Cardinal System, defined upon the local neighbourhood of objects on the table. We present results of applying the proposed methodology on five distinct...
