For oscillating time series, the prediction is often focused on the turning points. In order to predict the turning point magnitudes and times it is proposed to form the state space reconstruction only from the turning points and modify the local (nearest-neighbor) model accordingly. The model on turning points gives optimal predictions at a lower dimensional state space than the optimal local ...

In the prediction of oscillating time series, the interest is in the turning points of successive oscillations rather than the samples themselves. For this purpose a scheme has been proposed; the state space reconstruction is limited to the turning points and the local (nearest neighbor) model is modified in order to predict the turning point magnitudes and times. This approach is extended here...

manufacturing process frequently employs optimization of machining parameters in order to improve product quality as well as to enhance productivity. the material removal rate is a significant indicator of the productivity and cost efficiency of the process. taguchi method has been implemented for assessing favorable (optimal) machining condition during the machining of nylon by considering thr...

nowadays, in order to reach minimum production cost in machining operations, various optimization methods have been proposed. since turning operation has different parameters affecting the workpiece quality, it was selected as a complicated manufacturing method in this paper. to reach sufficient quality, all influencing parameters such as cutting speed, federate, depth of cut and tool rake angl...

in this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a gaas/alas spherical quantum dot has been calculated. the perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations. overall, the analysis shows that a proper choice of quantum dot radius and magnetic field can signifi...

Neural reflexes are stereotypical automatic responses often modulated by both intrinsic and environmental factors. We report herein that zebrafish larval C-shaped turning is modulated by the stimulated position of Rohon-Beard (RB) neurons. Targeted stimulation of more anterior RB neurons produces larger trunk flexion, which anticipates adult escape behavior by coordinated turning toward the app...

Estimation of intersection turning movements is one of the key inputs required for a variety of transportation analysis, including intersection geometric design, signal timing design, traffic impact assessment, and transportation planning. Conventional approaches that use manual techniques for estimation of turning movements are insensitive to congestion. The drawbacks of the manual techniques ...

This work is concerned with autoregressive prediction of turning points in financial price sequences. Such turning points are critical local extrema points along a series, which mark the start of new swings. Predicting the future time of such turning points or even their early or late identification slightly before or after the fact has useful applications in economics and finance. Building on ...

In recent years there has been interest in possible differential behavioral functions of the core and shell subregions of the nucleus accumbens. The present study compared the effects of accumbens core and shell injections of (+)-amphetamine on turning behavior in rats; the turning effects of the selective D2 antagonist (-)-eticlopride injected into the shell were also tested. Rats (n = 28) wer...
