although lot streaming scheduling is an active research field, lot streaming flexible flow lines problems have received far less attention than classical flow shops. this paper deals with scheduling jobs in lot streaming flexible flow line problems. the paper mathematically formulates the problem by a mixed integer linear programming model. this model solves small instances to optimality. moreo...

-Light-adaptive algorithms~architectures are proposed for regularization vision chips. The adaptation mechanisms allow the regularization parameters to change in an adaptive manner in accordance with the light intensity of given images. This is achieved by adaptively changing the conductance values associated with massively parallel resistive networks. The algorithms/architectures are inspired ...

Several current AI techniques are based on the reuse of problem solving knowledge. Case-based reasoning (CBR) is one such technique. In CBR problem solutions are stored as cases, and to solve a new problem a suitable case is retrieved and adapted. This paper examines adaptation in the context of a case-based reasoning system for software design called Déjà Vu. The paper describes Déjà Vu's twot...

Cyanobacteria are an important source of natural products. In this article, we briefly review the responses of cyanobacteria to different stresses. Abiotic stresses (temperature, salt, heavy metals, metalloid and ultraviolet (UV) influence cell growth and metabolism in cyanobacteria. Salt stress is a major abiotic factor that decrease...

In [3], we have presented Description Logics (DLs) as a suitable knowledge representation technology to model the CBR processes. This paper mainly focuses on the adaptation process. We propose a domain independent model to structure the knowledge needed in a CBR system, where adaptation knowledge is explicitly represented. Built upon this model we propose the use of the DL inference mechanisms ...

background in addition to physical adaptation and psychosocial adjustment to chronic renal disease, hemodialysis (hd) patients must also adapt to dialysis therapy plan. objectives the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of roy’s adaptation model-based patient education on adaptation of hd patients. patients and methods this study is a semi-experimental research that was conducted...

The accuracy of saccadic eye movements is maintained over the long term by adaptation mechanisms that decrease or increase saccade amplitude. It is still unknown whether these opposite adaptive changes rely on common mechanisms. Here, a double-step target paradigm was used to adaptively decrease (backward second target step) or increase (forward step) the amplitude of reactive saccades in one d...

The gain of signaling in primary sensory circuits is matched to the stimulus intensity by the process of adaptation. Retinal neural circuits adapt to visual scene statistics, including the mean (background adaptation) and the temporal variance (contrast adaptation) of the light stimulus. The intrinsic properties of retinal bipolar cells and synapses contribute to background and contrast adaptat...
