An approach to determining the optimal cell number of manufacturing cell formation is presented. Firstly, the difference of weighting exponent, cluster center and metrics how to have an impact upon the clustering results and membership function are studied. Secondly, a method to determine the optimal m value is given. Two-order partial derivative of the objective function for FCM is calculated,...

As the principal objective, this present study compares the purifying performances of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) with the conventional activated sludge used from the wastewater treatment plant of Beni Messous (Algiers) with the average characteristics in the chemical oxygen demand being 586 mg/L and 188 mg/L in the biochemical oxygen demand and 14 NTU of turbidity. The membrane bioreactor re...

Manipulating identity. Indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin of Bolivia, like those in many parts of the world, have been the targets of oppressive politics and practices, including overtly genocidal attempts to wipe them off the face of the earth. Some historical accounts of the Beni and Pando region of Bolivia are gruesome. While many groups of indígenas have shown what could be considered h...

A fundamental problem in machine learning is identifying the most representative subset of features from which we can construct a predictive model for a classification task. This paper aims to present a validation study of dimensionality reduction effect on the classification accuracy of mammographic images. The studied dimensionality reduction methods were: locality-preserving projection (LPP)...

Memory updating is the ability to select and update relevant information and suppress no-longer-relevant data. The few studies in this area, targeting mainly the verbal domain, have investigated and confirmed an age-related decline in working memory updating ability (De Beni & Palladino, 2004; Van der Linden, Bredart, & Beerten, 1994). The present research examines the ability of younger and ol...

Andes-to-Amazon river connectivity controls numerous natural and human systems in the greater Amazon. However, it is being rapidly altered by a wave of new hydropower development, the impacts of which have been previously underestimated. We document 142 dams existing or under construction and 160 proposed dams for rivers draining the Andean headwaters of the Amazon. Existing dams have fragmente...
