The selection of power transformer is very important to power sector. Most methods are utilized according to the initial cost and don’t consider the synthetical evaluation of economy and technology. Based on previous research, this paper addresses a new practical probabilistic life cycle cost model. Then, in order to demonstrate the practicability of probabilistic life cycle cost for the power ...

The publication of fake reviews by parties with vested interests has become a severe problem for consumers who use online product reviews in their decision making. To counter this problem a number of methods for detecting these fake reviews, termed opinion spam, have been proposed. However, to date, many of these methods focus on analysis of review text, making them unsuitable for many review s...

The notion of a synchronizing sequence plays an important role in the model-based testing of reactive systems, such as sequential circuits or communication protocols. The main problem in this approach is to find the shortest possible sequence which synchronizes the automaton being a model of the system under test. This can be done with a synchronizing algorithm. In this paper we analyze the syn...

Despite recent developments in protein structure prediction, an accurate new fold prediction algorithm remains elusive. One of the challenges facing current techniques is the size and complexity of the space containing possible structures for a query sequence. Traditionally, to explore this space fragment assembly approaches to new fold prediction have used stochastic optimization techniques. H...
