and prove that the study of such structures is equivalent to the study of generalized Boolean algebras. We call such structures Boolean subtractive algebras since they are subtractive algebras in the sense of Crapo and Rota ([1], 3.7). Alternatively, such structures might be called generalized colonies since, as we later prove, every colony is a Boolean subtractive algebra. As an example of a B...

The research work presented in this paper proposes a data-driven modeling method for bearings remaining useful life estimation based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy inference system (FIS). This allows identifying the parameters of classic T-S FIS, starting with small quantity data. In work, we used vibration signals data from number over an entire period run-to-failure. FIS model inputs are featur...

In recent years, techniques that combine different manufacturing processes such as additive and subtractive technologies are gaining significant attention. This is due to their ability to capitalise on consolidated advantages of combining these processes. However, there are limited process planning methods available to effectively synthesise additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies. ...

INTRODUCTION Additive manufacturing (AM) refers to a process that builds up a component in layers, as opposed to a subtractive operation, which removes matter from a block of material to form a product.[1,2] An increase in customer demand for customizable, quick turnaround, low cost products has opened the door for AM processes to enter the large scale production market once dominated by subtra...

Ultra-dense networks (UDNs) are considered as key 5G technologies. They provide mobile users a high transmission rate and efficient radio resource management. However, UDNs lead to the dense deployment of small base stations (BSs) that can cause stronger interference subsequently increase handover management complexity. At present, conventional triggering mechanism user equipment (UE) is only d...

The Chiu’s method which generates a Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is a method of fuzzy rules extraction. The rules output is a linear function of inputs. Those rules are not explicit for the expert. This paper proposes a new method to generate Mamdani FIS, where the rules output is fuzzy. The method proceeds in two steps. The first step consists in using the subtractive clustering ...

In this study, an efficient method is introduced to predict the stability of soil-structure interaction (SSI) system subject to earthquake loads. In the procedure of the nonlinear dynamic analysis, a number of structures collapse and then lose their stability. The prediction of failure probability is considered as stability criterion. In order to achieve this purpose, a modified adaptive neuro ...

To comprehensively grasp cell biological events in plant stomatal movement, we have captured microscopic images of guard cells with various organelles markers. The 28,530 serial optical sections of 930 pairs of Arabidopsis guard cells have been released as a new image database, named Live Images of Plant Stomata (LIPS). We visualized the average organellar distributions in guard cells using pro...

This work presents an approach on high-level semantic feature detection in video sequences. Keyframes are selected to represent the visual content of the shots. Then, low-level feature extraction is performed on the keyframes and a feature vector including color and texture features is formed. A region thesaurus that contains all the high-level features is constructed using a subtractive cluste...
