To assess the reliability of electron beam computed tomography (EBCT), measurements of single-kidney renal blood flow (RBF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and intratubular contrast medium concentration (ITC) of radiographic contrast media were quantified in anesthetized pigs before and after acetylcholine-induced vasodilation and diuresis. EBCT measurements were compared with those obtained...

This study proposes RBF Network hybrid learning with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for better convergence, error rates and classification results. In conventional RBF Network structure, different layers perform different tasks. Hence, it is useful to split the optimization process of hidden layer and output layer of the network accordingly. RBF Network hybrid learning involves two phases. T...

This paper considers the modeling and control problem for nonstationary nonlinear systems whose dynamic characteristics depend on time-varying working-points and may be locally linearized. It is proposed to describe the system behavior by the RBFARX model, which is an ARX model with Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) network-style coefficients depending on the working-points of a system. The ...

Traditional finite difference (FD) methods are designed to be exact for low degree polynomials. They can be highly effective on Cartesian-type grids, but may fail for unstructured node layouts. Radial basis function-generated finite difference (RBF-FD) methods overcome this problem and, as a result, provide a much improved geometric flexibility. The calculation of RBF-FD weights involves a shap...

Active queue control aims to improve the overall communication network throughput, while providing lower delay and small packet loss rate. The basic idea is to actively trigger packet dropping (or marking provided by explicit congestion notification (ECN)) before buffer overflow. In this paper, two artificial neural networks (ANN)-based control schemes are proposed for adaptive queue control in...

Mesh-free methods based on radial basis function (RBF) approximation are widely used for solving PDE problems. They are flexible with respect to the problem geometry and highly accurate. A disadvantage of these methods is that the linear system to be solved becomes dense for globally supported RBFs. A remedy is to introduce localisation techniques such as partition of unity (PU). RBF-PU methods...

Fraudulent emails can be detected by extraction of authorship information from the contents of emails. This paper presents information extraction based on unique words from the emails. These unique words will be used as representative features to train Radial Basis function (RBF). Final weights are obtained and subsequently used for testing. The percentage of identification of email authorship ...

We present a method of modifyiog the structure of radial basis function (RBF) network to work with nonstationary series that exhibit homogeneous nonstationary behavior. In the original RBF network, the hidden node’s function is to sense the trajectory of the time series and to respond when there is a strong correlation between the input pattern and the hidden node’s center. This type of respons...

In this paper, a novel hybrid Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBF–NN) ensemble model is proposed for rainfall forecasting based on Kernel Partial Least Squares Regression (K–PLSR). In the process of ensemble modeling, the first stage the initial data set is divided into different training sets by used Bagging and Boosting technology. In the second stage, these training sets are input to t...

In order to guarantee security and stable operation of electric vehicle, it is necessary to on-line estimation for the state of charge (SOC) of batteries. The power battery is a complex nonlinear system, and Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBF NN) has advantages in solving nonlinear problems, so the model of on-line SOC estimation based on RBF NN is proposed. In order to improve the predi...
