This paper investigates the connection between additive fuzzy systems and kernel machines. We prove that, under quite general conditions, these two seemingly quite distinct models are essentially equivalent. As a result, algorithms based upon Support Vector (SV) learning are proposed to build fuzzy systems for classification and function approximation. The performance of the proposed algorithm ...

We prove that a divergence-free and C1-robustly transitive vector field has no singularities. Moreover, if the vector field is C4 then the linear Poincaré flow associated to it admits a dominated splitting over M .

We provide a supervised speech-independent voice recognition technique in this paper. In the feature extraction stage we propose a mel-cepstral based approach. Our feature vector classification method uses a special nonlinear metric, derived from the Hausdorff distance for sets, and a minimum mean distance classifier. Keywords—Text-independent speaker recognition, mel cepstral analysis, speech ...

This paper demonstrates that several known sequence kernels can be expressed in a unified framework in which the position specificity is modeled by fuzzy equivalence relations. In addition to this interpretation, we address the practical issues of positive semidefiniteness, computational complexity, and the extraction of interpretable features from the final support vector machine classifier. K...

Many cities in the Global South are structurally different from Northern, particularly American, on which much of urban sociology’s conceptual apparatus has been based. Thus, depicting them terms a standard vocabulary risks imposing an inappropriate way seeing. We need that is able to accommodate their experience. This special issue contributes work building vocabulary. select five keywords soc...

results brdu ihc showed a significant decrease in neurogenesis following tld in both sexes showing more severity in male rats than in female rats. results of nissl staining and mwm also confirmed the brdu findings. regarding sexual dimorphism, our data showed no significant sex differences in the dg area of the hippocampus. conclusions sex-dependent reduction in neurogenesis following tld could...

neuroprotective effect of the extract from aerial parts of scrophularia striata boiss(scrophulariaceae) was investigated against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity on cultured rat pupscerebellar granule neurons (cgns). cgns from 8 days old sprague-dawley rat were preparedand cultured. the experiments were performed after 8 days in culture. the plant was collected fromthe northeastern part (ruin re...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to determine na-ca exchanger 2, 3 (ncx2, 3) protein level changes during 2, 5, 10, 15 days after induction of normobaric hyperoxia (ho) preconditioning. materials and methods: rats were divided in two experimental groups. the first group was exposed to 95% inspired ho for 4 h/day for 6 consecutive days (ho). the second group acted as control, and was ...
