A study was carried out to test sisal (Agave sisalana Perrine) fiberboards properties as building materials against Asian subterranean termite, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann). Evaluation was in the laboratory according to the JWPA Standard-TW-S.1-1992. To improve mechanical properties of fiberboards made from sisal fibers, the boards were overlaid by rubber veneer, betung bamboo matting or formi...

The use of analogies to explain difficult subjects has always been reckoned as an expedient of great utility. Analogical reasoning from Y to X can lead to correct conclusions, but not all implications that can be correctly drawn from Y can be applied to X. In a learning context, the use of analogies without the corresponding warning about differences between the subjects will produce invalid kn...

Multi-label learning deals with the problems when each instance can be assigned to multiple classes simultaneously, which are ubiquitous in real-world learning tasks. In this paper, we propose a new multilabel learning method, which is able to exploit unlabeled data to obtain an effective model for assigning appropriate multiple labels to instances. The proposed method is called T (TRansduct...
