The strong negative correlation over time between smoking rates and obesity have led some to suggest that reduced smoking is increasing weight gain in the U.S. This conclusion is supported by the findings of Chou et al. [Chou, S.-Y., Grossman, M., Saffer, H., 2004. An economic analysis of adult obesity: results from the behavioral risk factor surveillance system. Journal of Health Economics 23,...

We describe a method for using machine learning to refine algorithms represented as generalized finite-state automata. The knowledge in an automaton is translated into a corresponding artificial neural network, and then refined by applying backpropagation to a set of examples. Our technique for translating an automaton into a network extends the KBANN algorithm, a system that translates a set o...

Chou, Hsu and Shiue gave some applications of Faà di Bruno’s formula for the characterization of inverse relations. In this paper, we use partial Bell polynomials and binomial-type sequence of polynomials to develop complementary inverse relations.

The two leafhopper species in the genus Parazyginella Chou & Zhang from China are reviewed and illustrated including one new species, Parazyginella tianisp. n. whichis described. A key to separate males of the two species is provided.
