The early detection of faults (just beginning and still developing) can help avoid system shutdown, breakdown and even catastrophes involving human fatalities and material damage. Computational intelligence techniques are being investigated as extension of the traditional fault diagnosis methods. This paper discusses the properties of the TSK/Mamdani approaches and neuro-fuzzy (NF) fault diagno...

SUMMARY Regression testing is an important activity in software maintenance. Current regression testing strategies can be categorized into two groups: retest all and selective regression testing. Each of these two groups encompasses a variety of strategies. In industrial practice, regression testing procedures vary widely. Sometimes, several regression testing techniques are used in combination...

The Cellular Automata (CA) based SLEUTH model has emerged as a widely applied to many cities for land use cover (LULC) change and urban growth modelling due its simplicity, robustness, ease of implementation. present study employed rigorous sensitivity testing self-modifying constants, Monte Carlo runs critical slope determine their influence on calibration performance. Calibration performance ...

We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy ("Sleuth") to search for new high p(T) physics in approximately 100 pb(-1) of pp collisions at square root of (s) = 1.8 TeV collected by the D0 experiment during 1992-1996 at the Fermilab Tevatron. We systematically analyze many exclusive final states and demonstrate sensitivity to a variety of models predicting new phenomena at the electroweak scale....

Helen Garner’s The First Stone (1995) has commonly been read as a feministauthored attack on feminism. I concur with this reading, but also argue that this text contains some distinctly ‘queer’ aspects that have previously been overlooked by critics. I suggest that a useful way of emphasising and exploring these aspects is by reading The First Stone as a detective narrative. I contend that Garn...

A technique to detect patterns in student’s program source codes. First, we represent a source code in the form of an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). The detection of patterns is done with the SLEUTH algorithm for frequent subgraph mining on trees. We provide experiments using real data from a programming course at our university. In the paper, we discuss the relation between patterns and skills as...

The global urban population is expected to grow by 2.5 billion over the next three decades, and 90% of this growth will occur in African Asian countries. Urban expansion these regions often characterised ‘informal urbanization’ whereby households self-build without planning permission contexts ambiguous, insecure or disputed property rights. Despite scale informal urbanization, it has received ...
