Hybrid Artmap Neural Networks (hart)

In order to reduce the effect of the category proliferation phenomenon in Fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) and in ellipsoidal ARTMAP (EAM) architectures, The genetic algorithms were used to evolve networks of both architectures called GFAM and GEAM [3][4]. The results were very promising and the category proliferation (CP) phenomenon was minimized in most of the experiments, however, the author noticed that ...

Turbulent magnetic pumping in a Babcock-Leighton solar dynamo model

Context. The turbulent pumping effect corresponds to the transport of magnetic flux due to the presence of density and turbulence gradients in convectively unstable layers. In the induction equation it appears as an advective term and for this reason it is expected to be important in the solar and stellar dynamo processes. Aims. In this work, we have explored the effects of the turbulent pumpin...

The Babcock Institute University of Wisconsin Dairy Updates

212 Milk letdown, in most of the species studied, occurs after the activation of a neuroendocrine mechanism that releases oxytocin in the blood stream. The released oxytocin contracts the myoepithelial cells that surround the alveoli, forcing the expulsion of the milk. However, the pattern of milk ejection varies remarkably from species to species and could be related to the need or degree of o...
