Abstract--In this study, we introduce a concept of self-organizing neurofuzzy networks (SONFN), a hybrid modeling architecture combining relation-based neurofuzzy networks (NFN) and self-organizing polynomial neural networks (PNN). For such networks we develop a comprehensive design methodology and carry out a series of numeric experiments using data coming from the area of software engineering...

In this work the electrooxidation half-wave potentials of some Benzoxazines were predicted from their structural molecular descriptors by using quantitative structure-property relationship (QSAR) approaches. The dataset consist the half-wave potential of 40 benzoxazine derivatives which were obtained by DC-polarography. Descriptors which were selected by stepwise multiple selection procedure ar...

This article presents the Neo-Fuzzy-Neuron Modified by Kohonen Network (NFN-MK), an hybrid computational model that combines fuzzy system techniques and artificial neural networks. Its main task consists in the automatic generation of membership functions, in particular, triangle forms, aiming a dynamic modeling of a system. The model is tested by simulating real systems, here represented by a ...

The antiviral drugs that inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) entry to the target cells are already in different phases of clinical trials. They prevent viral entry and have a highly specific mechanism of action with a low toxicity profile. Few QSAR studies have been performed on this group of inhibitors. This study was performed to develop a quantitative structure-activity relationship (...

Forests play a vital role in terrestrial carbon cycling; therefore, monitoring forest biomass at local to global scales has become a challenging issue in the context of climate change. In this study, we investigated the backscattering properties of Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) data in cashew and rubber plantation areas of Cambodi...

This is a Fuchsian equation of order n with singularities at 0, 1,∞. The local exponents read, 1− β1, . . . , 1− βn at z = 0 α1, . . . , αn at z =∞ 0, 1, . . . , n− 2, −1 + ∑n 1 (βi − αi) at z = 1 When the βi are distinct modulo 1 a basis of solutions at z = 0 is given by the functions z1−βi nFn−1 ( α1 − βi + 1, . . . , αn − βi + 1 β1 − βi + 1, ..∨.., βn − βi + 1 ∣∣∣∣ z) (i = 1, . . . , n).

BACKGROUND Several models for mortality prediction have been constructed for critically ill patients with haematological malignancies in recent years. These models have proven to be equally or more accurate in predicting hospital mortality in patients with haematological malignancies than ICU severity of illness scores such as the APACHE II or SAPS II 1. The objective of this study is to compar...
