This paper presents a novel method for combining multiple compensatory neural fuzzy networks (CNFN) using fuzzy integral. The fusion of multiple classifiers can overcome the limitations of a single classifier since the classifiers complement each other. A fuzzy integral is a better combination scheme than majority voting method that uses the subjectively defined relevance of classifiers. A comb...

Many science and engineering problems can be formulated as optimization problems that are governed by m-flow type PDEs (multitime evolution systems) and by cost functionals expressed as multiple integrals or curvilinear integrals. Our paper discuss the m-flow type PDEconstrained optimization problems, focussing on a simplified multitime maximum principle. This extends the simplified single-time...

In this paper the selection of optimal laser parameters for generating surface acoustic waves on dental enamel is discussed. Spectrophotometric analysis of enamel sections shows two near-IR wavelengths that are strongly absorbed. Simulations of Duhamel’s theorem were used to determine the laser damage threshold and the appropriate laser pulse repetition rate.

Simulation-based assessment is a popular and frequently necessary approach for evaluating statistical procedures. Sometimes overlooked is the ability to take advantage of underlying mathematical relations and we focus on this aspect. We show how to take advantage of large-sample theory when conducting a simulation using the analysis of genomic data as a motivating example. The approach uses con...

RNA is known to be involved in several cellular processes; however, it is only active when it is folded into its correct 3D conformation. The folding, bending and twisting of an RNA molecule is dependent upon the multitude of canonical and non-canonical secondary structure motifs. These motifs contribute to the structural complexity of RNA but also serve important integral biological functions,...

Close distance vocalizations are an integral part of primate vocal communication. They exhibit large acoustic variation which has been suggested to constitute flexible responses to the highly variable social setting of group living animals. However, a recent study suggested that acoustic variation in close distance calls of baboons may also arise from acoustic adaptations to environmental facto...

in this paper, an optimal adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode control is presented to control the robot manipulator position tracking in the presence of uncertainties and permanent magnet dc motor. in the proposed control, sliding surface of the sliding mode control is defined according to the information of position tracking error, derivatives, and error integral. in order to estimate bounds ...

We investigate J/ψ production at a Photon Linear Collider (PLC) in the framework of NRQCD factorization approach. It was shown that color octet contribution is dominating in charmonium production at PLC. The main fraction of J/ψ comes from the single and double resolved photon processes. Expected cross sections of charmonium states production are large enough even at pT > 5 GeV to expect severa...

This paper establishes the equivalence between systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation and systems described by integral delay equations. Systemtheoretic results are provided for both classes of systems (among them converse Lyapunov results). The proposed framework can allow the study of discontinuous solutions for nonlinear systems described by a sing...

In this paper, we give a generalization of the integral dependence from rings to modules. We study the stability of the integral closure with respect to various module theoretic constructions. Moreover, we introduce the notion of integral extension of a module and prove the Lying over, Going up and Going down theorems for modules.
