Estimation of energy loss is an essential task for both operation and planning in electric distribution systems. The energy losses are considered to be uncertain due to measurements. A new method based on fuzzy-c-number clustering and fuzzy multiple linear regression analysis is proposed for developing energy loss formulas to estimate losses in this paper. The proposed method is implemented wit...

DNA damage induced via dissociative attachment by low-energy electrons (0 to 20 eV) is well studied in both gas and condensed phases. However, the reactivity of ultrashort-lived prehydrated electrons ([Formula: see text]) with DNA components in a biologically relevant environment has not been fully explored to date. The electron transfer processes of [Formula: see text] to the DNA nucleobases G...

BACKGROUND An ecological flow network is a weighted directed graph in which the nodes are species, the edges are "who eats whom" relationships and the weights are rates of energy or nutrient transferred between species. Allometric scaling is a ubiquitous feature for flow systems such as river basins, vascular networks and food webs. METHODOLOGY The "ecological network analysis" can serve to r...

In multiple sclerosis (MS), the correlation between lesion load on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical disability is weak. This clinico-radiological paradox might partly be due to the low sensitivity of conventional MRI to detect gray matter demyelination. Magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) has previously been shown to detect white matter demyelination in mice. In this st...

Nonconvex variants of support vector machines (SVMs) have been developed for various purposes. For example, robust SVMs attain robustness to outliers by using a nonconvex loss function, while extended [Formula: see text]-SVM (E[Formula: see text]-SVM) extends the range of the hyperparameter by introducing a nonconvex constraint. Here, we consider an extended robust support vector machine (ER-SV...

We present a new CTE photometric correction formula based on observation of 47Tuc obtained during Cycles 17, 18 and 19. Images were taken with two filters and different exposure times, in order to sample a wide range of background levels. In addition, the Cycle 19 program included imaging of a denser field near the center of 47Tuc with the F502N filter. Thanks to the increased number of stars a...

carcass yield is important economical parameters for producers and contributors of meat science. in the present study, carcass yield and also the weight losses resulted post mortem until consumption were investigated. the mean values of cold carcass and hot carcass weight were 15.63 and 15.33, the mean value of cooling loss was 1.87% and average value of hot and cold efficiency were 41.44% and ...

In this study, the effect of emergence angle a source array on acoustic transmission in typical shallow sea is simulated and analyzed. The formula we derived for received signal based Normal Mode indicates that determined by beamform modes all sources samplings at receiving depth. Two characteristics optimal (OEA) are obtained explained utilizing aforementioned formula. observed distributions l...

Partial Kripke structures model only parts of a state space and so enable aggressive abstraction of systems prior to verifying them with respect to a formula of temporal logic. This partiality of models means that verifications may reply with true (all refinements satisfy the formula under check), false (no refinement satisfies the formula under check) or don’t know. Generalized model checking ...
