We investigate the ‘Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate’ (DSNS) computational creativity approach further with respect to the size and quality of images that can be used to seed the process. In previous work we demonstrated how combining photographs of people and sequences taken from chess games between weak players can be used to generate chess problems or puzzles of higher aesthetic quality, on...

Science is built upon foundations of theory and experiment validated and improved through open, transparent communication. With the increasingly central role of computation in scientific discovery this means communicating all details of the computations needed for others to replicate the experiment, i.e. making available to others the associated data and code. The “reproducible research” moveme...

Peanut whole-feed combines discharge a large amount of dust while harvesting, causing serious air pollution and detrimental environmental change. To reduce the emission from peanut combines, cyclone separation suppression device for was proposed in this study. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled with particles airflow established to simulate effect on capturing ...

fibrillin is a large glycoprotein synthesized in the tissues involved in marfan syndrome, and known to be involved in tissue elasticity. the syndrome is corresponded to fbn1 gene and is characterized by cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal abnormalities. n-terminus of fibrillin 1 binds to microfibril-associated glycoprotein 1 (magp-1) in a calcium-dependent manner. in this study, the amino acid...

Abduction is widely used in the task of plan recognition, since it can be viewed as the task of finding the best explanation for a set of observations. The major drawback of abduction is its computational complexity. The task of abductive reasoning quickly becomes intractable as the background knowledge is increased. Recent efforts in the field of computational linguistics have enriched computa...

The physics program at Lawrence University has introduced sophisticated computational techniques throughout its curriculum. Distinguishing features of the Lawrence approach include a focus on flexible, general purpose computational packages, application to theory and experiment, extensive use for preparing reports, and distribution throughout the curriculum. Most importantly, computation is int...

Improved computational models and simulations offer the potential to reduce design, development and manufacturing time and cost by providing better predictions, and a more complete exploration of system and process design space. However, these models and simulations will not achieve this potential unless credible uncertainty statements about their predictions accompany them. Key to attaining th...
