The rotational dynamics of 2-ethylnaphthalene have been studied using subpicosecond transient grating optical Kerr effect techniques. Both the neat liquid and a series of dilutions in carbon tetrachloride were examined, The neat liquid was studied over a temperature range of 2-100 OC, and the 1 M solution was studied from -30 to +25 OC. After ultrafast librational dynamics have decayed, there r...

Zusammenfassung. Eine wichtige Frage in der mobilen Robotik ist die sichere Navigation in unbekannten Umgebungen unter der Anwendung preiswerter Sensorik. Solch eine Navigation kann ein künstliches Neuronales Netz (kNN) übernehmen, welches die Kopplung der Sensoren des Roboters mit dessen Antriebssystem herstellt. ” Neuro Evolution of Augmenting Topologies“ (NEAT) von Stanley und Miikkulainen [...

This article presents a "Hybrid Self-Attention NEAT" method to improve the original NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) algorithm in high-dimensional inputs. Although NEAT has shown significant result different challenging tasks, as input representations are high dimensional, it cannot create well-tuned network. Our study addresses this limitation by using self-attention an indirect ...

Biocomposites of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) with 5–40wt% soy flour (SF) are produced by two-step single-screw extrusion (SSE) followed by solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP). The SSE-SSSP approach overcomes limitations with melt mixing, e.g poor SF dispersion and degradation, and limitations with single-step SSSP. Microscopy shows that SF is well dispersed in SSE-...

In order to recognize characters on the neat oracle bone rubbings, a new mesh point feature extraction algorithm was put forward in this paper by researching and improving of the existing coarse mesh feature extraction algorithm and the point feature extraction algorithm. Some improvements of this algorithm were as followings: point feature was introduced into the coarse mesh feature, the absol...

Dynamic consolidation of virtual machines (VMs) is an efficient approach for improving the utilization of physical resources and reducing energy consumption in cloud data centers. Despite the large volume of research published on this topic, there are very few open-source software systems implementing dynamic VM consolidation. In this paper, we propose an architecture and open-source implementa...
