rational functions are of great interest to engineers and geoscientists. the rational polynomial coefficient (rpc) model as a generalized sensor model has been introduced as an alternative for the rigorous sensor model of the satellite imaging. numerical instability of normal equations is the only single obstacle to the implementation of these functions. practically, estimating rational functio...

In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of applying fuzzy controllers to create strong computer player programs in the domain of backgammon. Fuzzeval, our proposed mechanism, consists of a fuzzy controller that dynamically evaluates the perceived strength of the board configurations it receives. Fuzzeval employs an evaluation function that adjusts the membership functions linked to the l...

Few empirical studies have investigated career-related incentives for party membership, including young members. Through the lens of rational choice, we ask what and active members consider when calculating costs benefits membership. We argue a broad understanding incentives, careers outside politics. The study is based on in-depth interviews with 25 in Sweden. Our main finding that interviewee...

Abstract In engineering hydrology, calculating the flow coefficient is a crucial step. The calculation necessary for directing rational profiteering of water resources, improving overall efficiency resource utilization, and minimizing effect catastrophic events. By precisely determining coefficient, which most influential factor in flood flow, current issues will be mitigated substantially. Var...
