Land leveling is one of the most important steps in soil preparation and cultivation. Although land leveling with machines requires considerable amount of energy, it delivers a suitable surface slope with minimal soil deterioration as well as damage to plants and other organisms in the soil. Notwithstanding, in recent years researchers have tried to reduce fossil fuel consumption and its delete...

This paper studies a special instance of the graph partitioning problem motivated by an application in parallel processing. When a parallel computation is represented by a weighted task graph, we consider the problem of mapping each node in the graph to a processor in a linear array. We focus on a particular type of computation, a grid structured computation (GSC), where the task graph is a gri...

In this study, a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was presented for detection of electrocardiographic changes in patients with partial epilepsy. Decision making was performed in two stages: feature extraction using the wavelet transform (WT) and the ANFIS trained with the backpropagation gradient descent method in combination with the least squares method. Two...

Abstract Electroencephagram (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity of the brain. Though it is intended to record cerebral signals,it also records the signals that are not of cerebral origin called artifacts. Artifact removal from EEG signals is essential for better diagnosis. This paper proposes a hybrid learning algorithm based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for elimin...

This paper proposes an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for predicting the surface roughness in turning operation for set of given cutting parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Two different membership functions, triangular and bell shaped, were adopted during the training process of ANFIS in order to compare the prediction accuracy of surface roughness by t...

A number of known techniques for improving cache performance in scientific computations involve the reordering of the iteration space. Some of these reorderings can be considered as coverings of the iteration space with the sets having good surface-to-volume ratio. Use of such sets reduces the number of cache misses in computations of local operators having the iteration space as a domain. We s...

In recent years, a number of data structures for global geo-referenced data sets have been proposed based on regular, multi-resolution partitions of polyhedra. We present a survey of the most promising of such systems, which we call Geodesic Discrete Global Grid Systems (Geodesic DGGSs). We show that Geodesic DGGS alternatives can be constructed by specifying five substantially independent desi...

The problem of partitioning irregular graphs and meshes for parallel computations on homogeneous systems has been extensively studied. However, these partitioning schemes fail when the target system architecture exhibits heterogeneity in resource characteristics. With the emergence of technologies such as the Grid, it is imperative to study the partitioning problem taking into consideration the...

The quantification and prediction of inter-agent dependency requirements is one of the main concerns in Agent Oriented Requirements Engineering. To evaluate exertion load of an agent within resource constraints, this work provides a comparative analysis of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN is widely known due to its capability of learning the...
