Dynamics of metabolic systems can be modelled by systems of differential equations. Realistic models of metabolism allowing to integrate genome scale data should have very large size and thus face problems related to incompleteness of the information on their structure and parameters. We discuss how model reduction techniques that use qualitative information on the order of magnitude of paramet...

We investigate experimentally the impact of continuous time on a four-player Hotelling location game. The static pure strategy Nash equilibrium (NE) consists of firms paired-up at the first and third quartiles of the linear city. In repeated simultaneous move games (discrete time grid), we fail to obtain convergence to this distinctive NE, as have previous studies. However, with asynchronous mo...

PCANet, as one noticeable shallow network, employs the histogram representation for feature pooling. However, there are three main problems about this kind of pooling method. First, the histogram-based pooling method binarizes the feature maps and leads to inevitable discriminative information loss. Second, it is difficult to effectively combine other visual cues into a compact representation, ...

Gas Metal arc Welding (GMABQ has become the most addely used process for joining of steel plates due to its high productixity, simplicity of equipment and ease of use. Although the process of melting of the electrode and development of the weld deposit has been studied for 40 years, the dynamic nature of the process has not been studied in detail because accurate models are computationally inte...
