In this paper we propose schemes for using learning in video analysis tasks like content based filtering and shot summarization. Shot segmentation is performed by our neuro-fuzzy framework, which extracts fuzzy rules for video segmentation from the trained neuro-fuzzy network. We explore Independent Component Analysis and extract Independent Components that act as features for describing the co...

Although artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are widely viewed as safe drugs with a wide therapeutic dose range, concerns about neuroauditory safety of artemisinins arose during their development. A decade ago, reviews of human data suggested a potential neuro-ototoxic effect, but the validity of these findings was questioned. With 5-10 years of programmatic use, emerging artemisinin...

Playwriting guides, creative writing handbooks, and screenwriting manuals are replete with guidance as to how an author should express their themes. One common rule of thumb is that the climax where themes, characters, narrative’s result converge in terminal thematic statement. If theme established elaborated on during a film, then its film’s authors position matter through or lack thereof. As ...

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative dysfunction characterized by the loss of pigmented dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal system with a consequent dopamine decrease. The reduction of dopamine levels produces neuronal damage, depigmentation of the substantia nigra, and the presence of intracellular inclusions in dopaminergic neurons. Treatments for Parkinson's disease a...

This paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. The uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. The contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...
