User-deened aggregates can be the linchpin of sophisticated datamining functions and other advanced database applications. This is demonstrated by our eecient implementation on DB2 of SQL3 user-deened aggregates extended with early returns, which we have used to implement several data mining algorithms. Aggregates with early returns are monotonic and can thus be used freely in recursive queries.

NED-2 is a sophisticated, intelligent, goal driven, and integrated multi-agent decision support system for forest ecosystem management. NED-2 currently integrates various forest mangement tools and models, including vegetation growth and yield models, wildlife models, management models for timber, ecology, water, and visual quality goals, GIS reporting tool, HTML report generating tool, etc.. T...

Recent advances in low-cost high-capacity disk drives, and low-cost high-quality video compression and decompression cards are enabling new types of digital video storage and delivery capabilities. One prominent example of this trend is the emergence of Digital (sometimes called Personal) Video Recorders (DVRs) in the home. DVRs enable the digitization, compression, storage, and time-shifted vi...

Koza has previously shown that the power of a genetic programming system can often be enhanced by allowing for the simultaneous evolution of a main program and a collection of automatically deened functions (ADFs). In this paper I show how related techniques can be used to simultaneously evolve a collection of automatically deened macros (ADMs). I show how ADMs can be used to produce new contro...

in this paper by using the notiαon of anti fuzzy points and its besideness to andnon-quasi-coincidence with a fuzzy set the concepts of an anti fuzzy subalgebrasin bm-algebras are generalized and their inter-relations and related propertiesare investigated.

An alternative theory of gravity that has attracted much attention recently is the novel four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D EGB) gravity. The rescaled by Gauss-Bonnet (GB) coupling constant $\alpha \rightarrow \alpha/(D - 4)$ in $ D dimensions and redefined as limit $D 4$. Thus, this manner, GB term yields a non-trivial contribution to gravitational dynamics. In fact, regularized black ...
