The purpose of this paper is to simulate the future runoff change Yellow River Basin under combined effect land use and climate based on Cellular automata (CA)-Markov Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). changes in average runoff, high extreme intra-annual distribution middle 21st century are analyzed. following conclusions obtained: (1) Compared with base period (1970–1990), Tangnaihai, To...

The data rates of wireless networks are getting faster and faster. With this trend, IEEE 802.11a, published in 1999 to provide faster data transmission rates, is one of the strongly considered next generation wireless LAN standards. It uses CSMA/CA as the medium access control protocol and OFDM as the physical layer technology. In this paper, to enhance the throughput performance of CSMA/CA pro...

An 18-month chronic bioassay was conducted using ICR mice to determine whether health hazards are associated with exposure to a mixture of chlorinated alkanes and alkenes (CA) with composition similar to the contaminated water from drinking wells near an abandoned RCA factory. All test animals died spontaneously or sacri ced were examined to evaluate the in uence of the CA mixture on the incide...

Models for the gating of ion channels usually assume that the rate constants for leaving any given kinetic state are independent of previous channel activity. Although such discrete Markov models have been successful in describing channel gating, there is little direct evidence for the Markov assumption of time-invariant rate constants for constant conditions. This paper tests the Markov assump...

Accurate simulation and analysis of wireless networks are inherently dependent on accurate models which are able to provide real-time channel characterization. High-order Markov chains are typically used to model errors and losses over wireless channels. However, complexity (i.e., the number of states) of a high-order Markov model increases exponentially with the memory-length of the underlying...

in this paper semi-markov models are used to forecast the triple dimensions of next earthquake occurrences. each earthquake can be investigated in three dimensions including temporal, spatial and magnitude. semi-markov models can be used for earthquake forecasting in each arbitrary area and each area can be divided into several zones. in semi-markov models each zone can be considered as a state...

Steven J. Nowlan Synaptics, Inc. 2698 Orchard Parkway San Jose, CA 95134 We describe an extension to the Mixture of Experts architecture for modelling and controlling dynamical systems which exhibit multiple modes of behavior. This extension is based on a Markov process model, and suggests a recurrent network for gating a set of linear or non-linear controllers. The new architecture is demonstr...
