This paper presents a new Integrated Technical Reference Model (I-TRM) using a multilayered architecture. Most existing technical reference models concentrate on one aspect of a system, like information processing or control structure. The I-TRM is based on a classical closed-loop control system. It combines an Information-Centric Technical Reference Model (IC-TRM), a Control Technical Referenc...

The integration of multilayered and recurrent artificial neural networks (ANNs) with hidden Markov models (HMMs) is addressed. ANNs are suitable for approximating functions that compute new acoustic parameters, whereas HMMs have been proven successful at modeling the temporal structure of the speech signal. In the approach described, the ANN outputs constitute the sequence of observation vector...

Here we applied a magnetic force-based tissue engineering technique to cardiac tissue fabrication. A mixture of extracellular matrix precursor and cardiomyocytes labeled with magnetic nanoparticles was added into a well containing a central polycarbonate cylinder. With the use of a magnet, the cells were attracted to the bottom of the well and allowed to form a cell layer. During cultivation, t...

In this work, we propose a method to improve electro-optical and structural parameters of light-absorbing kesterite materials. It relies on the application of weak power hydrogen plasma discharges using electromagnetic field of radio frequency range, which improves homogeneity of the samples. The method allows to reduce strain of light absorbers and is suitable for designing solar cells based o...

The analytical solution of recurrent equations for amplitudes of electromagnetic field is found for description of x-ray reflection and diffraction from periodical multilayered media. The method proposed uses the Bloch eigenwaves approach for periodical structure, which reduces considerably the computer time required for simulation of diffracted/reflected x-ray intensity and, therefore, acceler...

A comparative investigation is performed for examining the radiation characteristics of a dipole antenna array on multilayered bianisotropic substrate with a grounded soft and hard surface possessing certain direction of the conductivity. Eight continuous magnetic groups of symmetries for describing the constitutive features of such bianisotropic structure are considered, respectively. Numerica...

A homogenization framework is developed that accounts for the effect of size at the microor nanoscale. This is achieved by endowing the interfaces of the microor nanoscopic features with their own independent structure, using the theory of surface elasticity. Following a standard small-strain approach for the microscopic deformation in terms of the macroscopic strain tensor, a Hill-type averagi...

The objective of this paper is to develop algorithms for efficient and fast implementation in a multilayered mode of signal-processing tasks such as convolution, correlation, matrix multiplication, Fourier transformation, Hilbert transformation, etc., using structures built out of a large number of simple cells. Some of these designs are essentially conceptual, while others, such as the ones fo...

The annotation of the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT) is conceived of as a multilayered scenario that comprises also dependency representations (tectogrammatical tree structures, TGTS’s) of the underlying structure of the sentences. TGTS’s capture three basic aspects of the underlying structure of sentences: (a) the dependency tree structure, (b) the kinds of dependency syntactic relations, an...

Interest in the development of new sources of transplantable materials for the treatment of injury or disease has led to the convergence of tissue engineering with stem cell technology. Bone and joint disorders are expected to benefit from this new technology because of the low self-regenerating capacity of bone matrix secreting cells. Herein, the differentiation of stem cells to bone cells usi...
