infection is the primary source of mortality in burn patients. one of the main treatment methods of burn wound infections is topical antimicrobial therapy, in which drugs have to permeate a dead tissue called eschar. unfortunately, most antimicrobial agents can not permeate eschar in therapeutic levels. surprisingly, permeation properties of this barrier and effects of chemical or environmental...

We review Boltzmann machines extended for time-series. These models often have recurrent structure, and back propagration through time (BPTT) is used to learn their parameters. The perstep computational complexity of BPTT in online learning, however, grows linearly with respect to the length of preceding time-series (i.e., learning rule is not local in time), which limits the applicability of B...

and ei(t) is the output error, xi(t) represent the activations and δi(t) are the backpropagated errors. The system described by Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 constitute the backpropagation through time (BPTT) algorithm. Note that the backpropagation system (Eq. 2) should be run from t=T backwards to t=1. We define the boundary conditions δi(T+1)=0. We will assume that the instantaneous error signal ei(t) is ...

Horizontal contaminant transport through unsaturated soil been demonstrated both analytically and experimentally. The water and solute transport equations were solved using the Boltzman transformation, to convert the partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. The resulted mathematical model was verified using experimental data. A laboratory scale column system was constr...

The usage of edible oils for alkyd resin synthesis has lately been of great concern because they can alter the food chain. Research is on the forefront on the oils that are considerably available and do not compete with food sources. Thus, the viability of preparing alkyd resin from inedible, non-drying gmelina seed oil (GSO) was investigated. The physico-chemical properties (viscosity, iod...
