We propose a method called Rule-based ESP (RESP) for utilizing prior knowledge evolving Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). First, KBANN-like techniques are used to transform a set of rules into an ANN, then the ANN is trained using the Enforced Subpopulations (ESP) neuroevolution method. Empirical results in the Prey Capture domain show that RESP can reach higher level of performance than ESP. ...

Aligned protein α-helix dipoles have been implicated in protein function and structure. The recent breakthroughs in high-resolution electron microscopy (EM) of macromolecules makes it possible to explore fundamental aspects of structural biology at the detailed molecular level. The electrostatic potential (ESP) generated by aligned protein α-helix dipole should be observable in high-resolution ...

Wood is often combusted in small scale units for domestic heating. Although the total particle emission levels in Germany have declined steadily over the years, small scale wood combustion is an increasing source of indoor and outdoor air pollution. A novel space charge electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was developed for control of fine particle emissions control from wood combustion stoves and ...

Los sistemas agroforestales (SAF’s) de café tienen un alto potencial en la captura carbono (C) gracias a gran diversidad especies leñosas usadas como sombra. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el biomasa vegetal aérea, mantillo y materia edáfica diferentes profundidades suelo cinco SAF’s región cafetalera Huatusco, Veracruz, México. estudiados fueron: pleno sol (03.PSC-MZ, 04.PSC-ZI),...

This study is an attempt to find the relationship between EGP and ESP test in medical field of studies in Iranian context. To do this, four fields of study were randomly selected out of medicine fields. Estimating the mean and standard deviation of the tests, the variance overlap between EGP and ESP tests were calculated. The results indicated that there was no systematic relationship between t...

Particle back-corona slows the efficiency of dry-electrostatic precipitator (dry-ESP), especially during removal high resistivity particles. In this study, a new type wet-electrostatic (wet-ESP) was designed and built using stainless steel (SS), conductive glass (CG), original (OG) for its collection plates. The objectives research included characteristics both dry-ESP wet-ESP, how materials us...

Executive Summary Performance evaluation of a pulse-jet baghouse operating with AirPol's Gas Suspension Absorption (GSA) process was conducted at TVA's Center for Emissions Research (CER) facility. The baghouse filtered approximately 5000 acfm of flue gas and was operated in two different configurations: in parallel with the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) at an air-to-cloth of 4.0 acfm/ft2 an...

Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are a rich potential source for detailed, timely, and efficient surveillance of large populations. We created the Electronic medical record Support for Public Health (ESP) system to facilitate and demonstrate the potential advantages of harnessing EMRs for public health surveillance. ESP organizes and analyzes EMR data for events of public health interest...

A Neighbourhood Area Network is a functional component of the Smart Grid that interconnects the end user domain with the Energy Services Provider (ESP) domain. It forms the “edge” of the provider network, interconnecting homes instrumented with Smart Meters (SM) with the ESP. The SM is a dual interface, wireless communication device through which information is transacted across the user (a hom...

It has become increasingly clear in the past decade that surgical management of obstructive sleep apnoea hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) is most successfully managed with multilevel surgery. We evaluated the outcomes of multilevel interventions comparing three different palatal techniques added to TORS: uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), a modified expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP), inspired b...
