The oscillatory motion in nonlinear nanolattices having different interatomic potential energy functions is investigated. Potential energies such as the classical Morse, Biswas – Hamann and modified Lennard Jones potentials are considered interaction between atoms one-dimensional nanolattices. Noteworthy phenomena obtained with a chain, for each of considered. generalized governing system equat...

The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy (WESDR) is a population-based epidemiologic study carried out in Southern Wisconsin during the eighties of the last century. The resulting data were analyzed by different statisticians and ophthalmologists during the last two decades. Most of the analyses were carried out on the baseline data, although there were two follow-up studies on...

46 AI MAGAZINE Modeling is regarded as fundamental to human cognition and scientific inquiry (Schwarz and White 2005). It helps learners express and externalize their thinking, visualize and test components of their theories, and make materials more interesting. Particularly, the importance of learners constructing conceptual interpretations of system behavior has been pointed out many times (M...

Swarm based techniques have huge application domain covering multiple disciplines, which include power system, fuzzy system, forecasting, bio-medicine, sociological analysis, image processing, sound processing, signal processing, data analysis, process modeling, process controlling etc. In last two decades numerous techniques and their variations have been developed. Despite many variations are...
