This article describes a comprehensive approach to automatic theory revision. Given an imperfect theory, the approach combines explanation attempts for incorrectly classi ed examples in order to identify the failing portions of the theory. For each theory fault, correlated subsets of the examples are used to inductively generate a correction. Because the corrections are focused, they tend to pr...

The congestion control mechanism has been responsible for maintaining stability as the Internet scaled up in size, speed, traffic volume, coverage, and complexity by many orders of magnitude over the last three decades. In this book we develop a coherent theory of congestion control from the ground up to help understand and design these algorithms. We model network traffic as fluids that flow f...

It is of great practical importance to develop simple methods for the automatic detection ofthe controlled state of the analytical method being applied. The key point is to find quantities that greatly affect the quality of the analytical results and that can be easily estimated during the measurement process from the measured data. The signal-to-noise ratio has proved to be such a quantity in ...

Pioglitazone is an oral anti-hyperglycemic agent. It is used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2. It selectively stimulates nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma). It was the tenth-best-selling drug in the U.S. in 2008. This article examines published analytical methods reported so far in the literature for the determination of pioglitazone in b...

Will reading habit influence your life? Many say yes. Reading analytical methods in fuzzy modeling and control is a good habit; you can develop this habit to be such interesting way. Yeah, reading habit will not only make you have any favourite activity. It will be one of guidance of your life. When reading has become a habit, you will not make it as disturbing activities or as boring activity....

Modern analytical methods today have been proven to be very useful for accurate determination of metals. It is required to determine optimum concentration of some essential metals as deficiency or excess may cause abnormalities in body. Also there is strict legal requirement to monitor and control levels of metals in food, environment and medicines. Estimation of concentration of metals in body...

As part of work testing the application of physical chemistry to immunity, measurements were made of the amount of amboceptor present in heated, hemolytic serum,after contact with corpuscles, the object being to determine in this way the law governing the absorption of hemolytic amboceptor. The unexpected phenomenon was observed that when serum and corpuscles 2 were put together in certain prop...

Growth analysis of stem variations information without interrupting natural growth of the crops is important for the water-saving irrigation. Three different approaches Illumination, Strain gauge and Image processing methods are applied to the growth data to model the growth of plant. In illumination method the imaging system uses a background illumination source to improve the quality of image...
