There is uncertainty in the performance of wind energy installations due to unknowns in the local wind environment, machine response to the environment, and the durability of materials. Some of the unknowns are inherently independent from machine to machine while other uncertainties are common to the entire fleet equally. The FAROW computer software for fatigue and reliability of wind turbines ...

We propose and study proactive replacement as a strategy for ensuring that the number of intrusions does not exceed the design threshold within an intrusiontolerant system. State machine replicas periodically replace themselves, en masse, by selecting a successor set from a large server farm housing spare machines that have been cleaned-up subsequent to any prior use. Selection is random to thw...

Scientific prediction of agricultural food production plays an essential role in stabilizing supply. In order to improve the accuracy grain yield and reduce error Chongqing, this paper proposes a new method for Chongqing by using support vector machine (SVM). paper, based on regression structure, algorithm is designed, then adopted replacement back propagation process BP neural network. The res...

some physical attributes of two common types of iranian garlic cloves (white and pink) were identified and compared. a machine vision system was used to determine three di-mensions and both major and minor projected areas of garlic cloves at a moisture content of 42.4% w. b. the geometric mean diameter and sphericity were calculated, as well as the unit mass and volume of cloves were measured. ...

The First International Conference on Cognitive Technology (CT’95, Hong Kong, 1995) explored a radically new way of thinking about the impact computer technology has on humans, especially on the human mind. Our main aim at that time was a consideration of these effects with respect to rendering the interface between people and computers more humane. And we exemplified our approach by pointing t...

Much attention has been given in machine learning field to the study of numerous resampling techniques during the last fifteen years. In the paper the investigation of m-out-of-n bagging with and without replacement and repeated cross-validation using genetic fuzzy systems is presented. All experiments were conducted with real-world data derived from a cadastral system and registry of real esta...

This paper discusses the shortcomings of the cognitive science approach to understanding human cognition particularly in its relationship to human computer interaction. Its failure to distinguish between the psychic and the information processes in human and machine has led to a view of the computer as a 'replacement' for the human in intellectual spheres and the implication that a computer pro...
