Checkers is a very simple game and easy to learn. Unlike chess, it is simple to move and needs a few rules. With respect to checkers, the evolutionary algorithm can discover a neural network that can be used to play at a near-expert level without injecting expert knowledge about how to play the game. Evolutionary approach does not need any prior knowledge to develop machine player but can devel...

The combined influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and East (EA) patterns on covariability temperatures precipitation in 35 stations Iberian Peninsula during period 1950–2019 is analysed this work. Four EA-NAO composites were defined from teleconnection patterns’ positive negative phases: EA+NAO+, EA+NAO-, EA-NAO+ EA-NAO-. Daily data maximum minimum temperature used to obtain season...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to test the hypothesis that electroacupuncture (EA) at acupuncture point LI4 activates specific brain regions by nerve stimulation that is mediatied through a pathway involving the brachial plexus. METHODS Twelve acupuncture naive right-handed volunteers were allocated to receive three sessions of EA at LI4 in a random different order (crossover): (1) EA alone (EA); EA a...

With human T cells activated by 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) as immunogen, an IgG2a mAb, early activation antigen 1 (EA 1), was generated against a 60-kD protein with disulfide-linked 28-kD and 32-kD subunits. Both subunits were phosphorylated. The antigen, EA 1, was readily detected on approximately 60% of isolated and cryopreserved thymocytes, as determined by indirect immunofl...

This study proposes quality measurement attributes for Application Service Quality Indicator (ASQI) to measure the quality of application software in the operation stage using the KJ technique and by reviewing some existing methodologies, such as ISO 25000 quality standard, BSC, EA PRM, SERVQUAL, and SLA. As during operational stages software quality is defined variedly in terms of software, ma...
