In selecting input variables by block addition and block deletion (BABD), multiple input variables are added and then deleted, keeping the cross-validation error below that using all the input variables. The major problem of this method is that selection time becomes large as the number of input variables increases. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, we propose incremental block addition...

CD47 is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that suppresses the function of immune cells. We previously reported that Langerhans cells (LCs) express Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate 1 (SHPS-1), a ligand for CD47, which plays an important role in the regulation of their motility. In this study, we show that LCs also express CD47, and that ligation of CD47 wi...

A wavelet neural network-based identification approach is presented in this paper to dynamically modeling a building structure. By combining wavelet decomposition and artificial neural networks, wavelet neural networks (WNN) are used for solving chaotic signal processing. The theoretical basis and basic operations of WNNs are first briefly introduced. Then the feasibility of structural behavior...

The efficiency of a maritime container terminal primarily depends on the smooth and orderly process of handling containers, especially during the ship's loading process. The stowage and associated loading plans are mainly determined by two criteria: ship stability and the minimum number of container rehandles required. The latter is based on the fact that most container ships have a cellular st...
