A multi layered feed forward neural network model is being developed for the prediction of end blow oxygen in the LD converter using a two step process. In the first step intermediate stopping temperature is being predicted and using this as an input the end blow oxygen is predicted. In both the cases two hidden layers had given the best results compared to the single layer neural network. Inte...

The task of an Internet router is to scan the IP headers for the destination address and make a routing decision based on the information. If the processing capability of a router is enhanced to support computation on a datagram, some of the host computation may be delegated to the intermediate routers. The instructions about how to do the processing may be provided by the end hosts. We propose...

The question whether newborns possess inborn social skills is a long debate in developmental psychology. Fetal behavioral and anatomical observations show evidences for the control of eye movements and facial behaviors during the third trimester of pregnancy whereas specific sub-cortical areas, like the superior colliculus (SC) and the striatum appear to be functionally mature to support these ...

Quantitative analyses of anionic sites in the rat cartilage were performed by using post-embedding LR-Gold method with cationic colloidal gold (CCG) at different pH levels. Alteration of the pH levels affected the CCG staining patterns. The CCG particles were more observed at low pH levels, 1.0 and 2.5, than those at high pH 7.4. So, we quantitatively examined the superficial, intermediate and ...

Tandem structures can boost the efficiency of organic solar cell to more than 15%, compared to the 10% limit of single layer bulk heterojunction devices. Design and fabricating of intermediate layers plays a very important role to achieve high device performance. This article will review the main experimental progresses of tandem organic solar cells, and focus on the intermediate layers (charge...

The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Architecture [1] discusses a way in which Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches may be used as Label Switching Routers. The ATM switches run network layer routing algorithms (such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), etc.), and their data forwarding is based on the results of these routing algorithms...

A theoretical and experimental analysis of a simple multilevel segmental HMM is presented in which the relationship between symbolic (phonetic) and surface (acoustic) representations of speech is regulated by an intermediate (articulatory) layer, where speech dynamics are modeled using linear trajectories. Three formant-based parameterizations and measured articulatory positions are considered ...

Lead-rich intermediate phases, in particular Pt,,Pb and PbO, are found to form on Pt(ll1) atop Ti-buffered Si substrates prior to formation of Pb(Zr, -*TiX)O3 (PZT) thin films. Pt,_,Pb is a [ill] textured transient intermetallic phase that nucleates PZT[111] texture. PbO is a [OOl] textured layer compound that nucleates PZT[100] texture. The formation conditions and lattice matching of these in...

Starting from the elemental 2 × 2 × 2 interference channel, there has been much progress in the understanding of multihop multiflow wireless networks through degrees of freedom (DoF) studies that have produced important ideas such as (aligned) interference neutralization. However, much of this progress has been limited to layered connectivity models that are essentially motivated by the assumpt...

Culture of keratinocytes in conventional medium without a mesenchyme-derived feeder layer leads to poor growth and impaired differentiation; however, the exact pathway and degree of differentiation achieved in such conditions is unclear. We have cultured normal human keratinocytes in Rheinwald and Green's medium, on plastic without a feeder layer, in order to investigate the degree of different...
