A Silicon Drift Detector Front-End and a Smart Readout System different from a trivial zerosuppression is proposed. ON-LINE pre-processing, using a Fast VLSI dedicated Fuzzy Processor, reduces significantly acquisition data volume and hardware requirements. Silicon Drift Detectors Readout and ON-LINE Data Reduction using a Fast VLSI Dedicated Fuzzy Processor 2

E-discussion tools provide students with the opportunity not only to learn about the topic under discussion but to acquire argumentation and collaboration skills and to engage in analytic thinking. However, too often, ediscussions are not fruitful and moderation is needed. We describe our approach, which employs intelligent data analysis techniques, to support teachers as they moderate multiple...

The study of the balance between linguistic interpretability and numerical accuracy in genetic fuzzy systems is an active area of research, and a rich set of procedures for comparing the understandability of fuzzy rule bases is available. Nevertheless, comparing the numerical accuracy of two GFS is relegated to a second plane, or assumed solved, as most of the researchers in this area use class...

where <£fc(X)=2w=i dk(ri)e^ +residue term. Hopefully, one could expand the k integral and estimate the resulting infinite series. This does not seem feasible, however, unless k{z) satisfies a certain approximate functional equation (AFE); see [5, p. 147] and [6, p. 42]. This is one reason why only k=l, k=2 are known. However, Bellman [2] has shown that, if the e~ in k(z) are replaced b...

The adoption and diffusion of RFID in logistics falls short behind the optimistic expectations shaped years ago. The complexity of large-scale RFID rollout projects is a barrier for widespread adoption and diffusion of RFID. Current RFID specific project management frameworks address the implementation of isolated RFID projects but provide very limited guidance on how to manage largescale RFID ...

It is a one-sided hypothesis testing process for assessing bioequivalence. Bootstrap and modified large-sample(MLS) methods are considered to study individual bioequivalence(IBE), type I error and power of hypothesis tests are simulated and compared with FDA(2001). The results show that modified large-sample method is equivalent to the method of FDA(2001) . Keywords—individual bioequivalence; b...
