Received: 25 November 2002 Revised: 2 December 2002 Accepted: 4 December 2002 Abstract We introduce a method for visualizing evolving networks. In addition to the intermediate states of the network, it conveys the nature of change between states by unrolling the dynamics of the network. Each modification is shown in a separate layer of a three-dimensional representation, where the stack of laye...

In this paper, the performance of canonical GA-based trading strategies are evaluated under di erent time series. Two classes of time series model are considered, namely, linear ARMA model and bilinear model. Unlike many existing applications of computational intelligence in nancial engineering, for each performance criterion, we provide a rigorous asymptotic statistical test based on Monte Car...

the purpose of this paper is to studying nonlinear k-ε turbulence models and its advantages in internal combustion engines, since the standard k-ε model is incapable of representing the anisotropy of turbulence intensities and fails to express the reynolds stresses adequately in rotating flows. therefore, this model is not only incapable of expressing the anisotropy of turbulence in an engine c...

In this paper we present a performance comparison of access methods for time-evolving regional data. Initially, we briefly review four temporal extensions of the Linear Region Quadtree: the Time-Split Linear Quadtree, the Multiversion Linear Quadtree, the Multiversion Access Structure for Evolving Raster Images and Overlapping Linear Quadtrees. These methods comprise a family of specialized acc...

The advent of 3D printers has been embraced globally within few years of its emergence. The surge in the acceptability of rapid manufacturing RM technology can be attributed to the depletion and cost of natural resources, waste reduction and sustainability criterion of manufactured parts. This rapidly evolving 3D printing technologies is predicted to grow exponentially especially for the manufa...
