Nowadays, dust phenomenon is one of the important challenges in warm and dry areas. Forecasting the phenomenon before its occurrence helps to take precautionary steps to prevent its consequences. Fuzzy expert systems capabilities have been taken into account to assist and cope with the uncertainty associated to complex environments such as dust forecasting problem. This paper presents novel hyb...

Bayesian evolutionary analysis provide a statistically sound and flexible framework for estimation of evolutionary parameters. In this method, posterior estimates of evolutionary rate (μ) are derived by combining evolutionary information in the data with researcher’s prior knowledge about the true value of μ. Nucleotide sequence samples of fast evolving pathogens that are taken at d...

Probabilistic Methods for Multiscale Evolutionary Dynamics by Shishi Luo Department of Mathematics Duke University

Case-based reasoning (CBR) provides a methodology for directly using previous designs in the development of a new design. An aspect of CBR that is not well developed for designing is the combination and adaptation of previous designs. The difficulty with this aspect of case-based design is partly due to the extensive amounts of specialised knowledge needed to select the appropriate features of ...

Watermarking can be described as a desirable alternative solution for copyright protection of digital materials like images, video and audio. This paper introduced a modified watermarking method in Wavelet domain to get better performance. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to find the best DWT coefficients in the HL sub band for embedding the watermark sequence and PSO fitness function ...
