For the nervous system to work at all, a delicate balance of excitation and inhibition must be achieved. However, when such a balance is sought by global strategies, only few modes remain balanced close to instability, and all other modes are strongly stable. Here we present a simple model of neural tissue in which this balance is sought locally by neurons following ‘anti-Hebbian’ behavior: all...

Scheduling is one of the most important and determines success a project, including construction projects that are repetitive. Choosing right scheduling method based on project characteristic can increase efficiency itself, both in terms cost time. This study will examine application optimization Line Balance (LoB) using deadline completion target. applied with concept linear programming, by en...

ABSTRACTRepetitive projects are construction with activities that repeated in the same unit. The most suitable method for repetitive is Line of Balance method, this can determine and allocate necessary resources each activity so deadline be achieved. Learning Effects on LOB have advantage speeding up duration an reducing total resource requirements workers. Effect calculated mathematically a Lo...

introduction: ski is a fast sport with a high risk of falling. the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of core strength with static and dynamic balance in snowboarders. materials and methods: forty male athletes participated in this study with a history activity of at least 6 seasons in snowboard skiing sport (mean age 26.85±3.30yr, height 180.45±6.08cm, weight 79.86±6.14kg...

In this paper, we propose a modified multi-agent system for assembly line balancing. Each worker in the assembly line is regarded as agent, and two neighboring agents exchange the information about the allocated tasks. To balance the workload, an agent having less workload sends a request message to his/her neighboring agent having more workload to exchange tasks between them. Without any centr...
