The act frequency approach to personality is advanced in this article. Dispositions are viewed as summaries of act frequencies that, in themselves, possess no explanatory status. As sociocultural emergents, dispositions function as natural cognitive categories with acts as members. Category boundaries are fuzzy, and acts within each category differ in their prototypicality of membership. A seri...

The important aspect of all verification system is authentication and security. This aspect necessitates the development of a method that ensures user security and privacy. The traditional methods such as tokens and passwords provide security to the users. Uncertainly, the attackers can easily compromise these techniques. In recent years, the combination of biometrics and cryptography technique...

Helicopter aviation is a difficult task that requires simultaneous manipulation of several controls in order to achieve a desired movement. Development of knowledge and skills are required for a person to be able to safely and efficiently navigate a helicopter. Therefore, the question was raised on whether there is a possibility to develop a robust agent that will act as an intermediate between...

In this paper, a recurrent compensatory neuro-fuzzy system (RCNFS) for identification and prediction is proposed. The compensatory-based fuzzy method uses the adaptive fuzzy operations of neuro-fuzzy systems to make fuzzy logic systems more adaptive and effective. A recurrent network is embedded in the RCNFS by adding feedback connections in the second layer, where the feedback units act as mem...

Computer games are now a part of modern culture. By using automatic speech recognition systems (ASRS), voice driven commands can be used to control the game, which can open up the possibility for people with disabilities and age related problems to be included in game communities and use the services offered. Conventional speech recognition systems however, do not support emotions, attitudes, t...

Ideally, in Ad-hoc networks all comprising nodes act cooperatively in establishing the communication paths from various sources to destinations. However, in practice such an ideal situation may not always be realized. Some nodes may act selfishly, refusing to accept the burden of forwarding packets. Some other nodes may act maliciously. Either way, such nodes degrade the network reliability or ...

Research on wind turbine technologies have focused primarily on power cost reduction. Generally, this aim has been achieved by increasing power output while maintaining the structural load at a reasonable level. However, disturbances, such as wind speed, affect the performance of wind turbines, and as a result, the use of various types of controller becomes crucial.This paper deals with two ada...
