In this paper, a dual perturb and combine algorithm is proposed which consists in producing the perturbed predictions at the prediction stage using only one model. To this end, the attribute vector of a test case is perturbed several times by an additive random noise, the model is applied to each of these perturbed vectors and the resulting predictions are aggregated. An analytical version of t...

Combining logics has become a rapidly expanding enterprise that is inspired mainly by concerns about modularity and the wish to join together tailor made logical tools into more powerful but still manageable ones. A natural question is whether it o ers anything new over and above existing standard languages. By analysing a number of applications where combined logics arise, we argue that combin...

two types of paddy combine harvester (head-feed and whole-crop) are commonly available in different widths in developed countries. the use of combine harvesters can greatly decrease labor costs and efficiency. combine harvesters have been introduced in several east asian countries (china, japan, south korea) to decrease costs, but their technical and economic performance has not yet been studie...

Immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation is based on calcineurin inhibitors (CNI). In most cases CNI therapy is combined with mycophenolate and steroids. In spite of good short-term results this therapy is associated with long-term toxicities, graft loss and patient death. Therefore, alternative immunosuppressive strategies are needed that combine excellent efficacy with low incid...

We claim that combining “things”, whatever these things are, is made easier if these things can be seen as the objects of a category. Then things are related by morphisms, and the categorical machinery provides various tools for combining things, typically limits and colimits, as well as other constructions. What should be required from an object in a category to call it a logic? The analysis o...

ion and concretization could also be performed with respect to other parameters, not only spatial location. For example the mechanisms for saccade target position (LIP, FEF, superior SC) are separated from mechanisms that are responsible for saccade execution timing (basal ganglia). One could say that the spatial representation of a saccade target is abstracted from its timing, and vice versa. ...
