In spite of the wide use Raman spectroscopy for chemical analysis in different fields, not any automated identification spectra is universally adopted. However, interest this field witnessed by large number papers published last decades. The problem Raman-spectra classification becomes particularly challenging when low irradiation requested, either safety reasons or to avoid target photodegrada...

This work deals with the problem of laser simulation. At the beginning it gives a broader overview of the project of laser simulation which is processed at the University of West Bohemia. The simulation is described in several fundamental steps to gain basic concept of the process. Several techniques of data sets obtaining, their processing and usage for the simulation and also the importance o...

Many casting defects, which cannot be eliminated by changes to tooling and process parameters, can be attributed to poor design of the part with respect to manufacturability. One such common defect is shrinkage porosity occurring at casting junctions. We present a generic classification of 3D casting junctions in terms of the number, thickness and cross-section of converging elements (walls), a...

One of the most dynamic research and application areas of neural networks is classification. In this paper, the use of matlab coding for simulation of backpropagation neural network for classification of Iris dataset is demonstrated. Fisher’s Iris data base collected from uci repository is used. The data set contains 3 classes of 50 instances each, where each class refers to a type of iris plan...

Template-based composition of web services is considered as useful middle-way between their manual ’programming in the large’ and fully automatic ’AI-planning-style’ composition. This is also relevant for applications analysing the content and structure of the web space. As simple proof of concept, we simulate this approach on a collection of services, templates, data objects and ontological kn...

This paper presents a cognitive-motivated approach for classification of 3D objects according to the functional paradigm. We hypothesize that classification can be achieved through simulation of actions meant to verify whether a candidate object fulfills a certain functionality. This paper presents ABSV: Agent Based Simulated Vision, a novel approach that tries to imitate the way humans perform...

Nearly horizontal sedimentary sequences are typically eroded into escarpments capped by resistant rock layers. These escarpments record in planform the spatial variation in erosional processes. Simulation models have been constructed of scarp development by three processes, scarp backwasting, fluvial erosion, and groundwater sapping, acting singly or in combination. Scarp backwasting produces p...

Purpose: This article presents a data-integrated simulation based method to evaluate patient-to-nurse assignments ahead of a shift. Unlike patient classification systems, which just estimate the workload, this simulation tool quantifies the workload of nurses by simulating individual nurse’s workflow for the entire shift. Design: To enable building the simulation model, the nurse workflow data ...

Machine failure can have a significant impact on the throughput of manufacturing systems, therefore accurate modelling of breakdowns in manufacturing simulation models is essential. Finite mixture distributions have been successfully used by Ford Motor Company to model machine breakdown durations in simulation models of engine assembly lines. These models can be very complex, with a large numbe...
