In Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DST) based classifier design, Dempster’s combination (DC) rule is commonly used as a multi-attribute classifier to combine evidence collected from different attributes. The main aim of this paper is to present a classification method using a novel combination rule i.e., the evidence reasoning (ER) rule. As an improvement of the DC rule, the newly proposed ER ...

The sine-Gordon (SG), i.e. periodic scalar field theory is known to play an important role in $d=2$ dimensions. A paradigmatic example the topological phase transition of vortex dynamics superfluid films and layered superconductors which are described by SG type models. Periodic potentials find applications $d=4$ dimensions, too. Higgs, inflaton axion physics examples where fields naturally app...

We developed a CALL (computer-aided language learning) system for teaching the pronunciation of Japanese long vowels, the mora nasal and mora obstruents to nonnative speakers of Japanese. Long vowels and short vowels are spectrally almost identical but their phone durations differ significantly. Similar conditions exist between mora nasals and non-mora nasals, and between mora and non-mora obst...

Construction of integrable field theories in space with a boundary is extended to fermionic models. We obtain general forms of boundary interactions consistent with integrability of the massive Thirring model and study the duality equivalence of the MT model and the sine-Gordon model with boundary terms. We find a variety of integrable boundary interactions in the O(3) Gross-Neveu model from th...
