Biological machines consisting of cells and biomaterials have the potential to dynamically sense, process, respond, and adapt to environmental signals in real time. As a first step toward the realization of such machines, which will require biological actuators that can generate force and perform mechanical work, we have developed a method of manufacturing modular skeletal muscle actuators that...

One-class support vector machines (1-SVMs) estimate the level set of the underlying density observed data. Aside the kernel selection issue, one difficulty concerns the choice of the ’level’ parameter. In this paper, following the work by Hastie et. al (2004), we derive the entire regularization path for ν-1-SVMs. Since this regularization path is efficient for building different level sets est...

Predicting user response is one of the core machine learning tasks in computational advertising. Field-aware Factorization Machines (FFM) have recently been established as a state-of-the-art method for that problem and in particular won two Kaggle challenges. This paper presents some results from implementing this method in a production system that predicts click-through and conversion rates fo...

India is an agricultural nation where 70% of the people depend on successful agriculture. However, as population grows, farms are distributed among families; a result, average Indian farmer holds just two acres land. The system addresses innovative idea Joystick based in all farming systems. By implementing this project, we can eliminate many difficulties runs solar energy, which cleanest energ...

introduction sugarcane, a plant which sugar is extracted from, is planted in vast areas with hot and humid climate. brazil is the largest producer of sugarcane in the world. the next five major producers, in decreasing order, are india, china, thailand, pakistan and mexico. sugarcane is a tropical, perennial grass that forms lateral shoots at the base to produce multiple stems, typically three ...

In vitro studies on cancer cell lines still constitutes a major part of cancer research. It is very important that the researchers consider the importance of basic conditions of working with different cell lines. To the best of authors knowledge, this study is the first one to report the effect of seeding density on the growth curve of three human cancer cell lines. These cell lines include hum...

In the 1990s numerous winter orographic cloud seeding experiments were conducted over Utah’s Wasatch Plateau. Several previously published case studies successfully documented the physical response in clouds and precipitation to ground-based seeding with silver iodide and liquid propane. A previously unpublished case study that shows additional evidence of positive seeding effects is presented ...

in order to study the effect of sowing methods and seeding rates on fodder yield and some agronomic characters of nikshahri alfalfa ecotype, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replications in the field of agricultural and natural resources center of baluchistan in iranshahr region. in this study, sowing methods: hand spread, 12 ...
