This contribution attempts to synthesize and expand ideas previously presented at these meetings by placing them into a wider framework at the intersection of biosemiotics and current philosophy of biology. In previous investigations I aimed mainly at exploring the connections between two special kinds of relational structures: the networks of self-referential circular loops that appear pervasi...

We present a novel graphical model approach for a problem not previously considered in the machine learning literature: that of tracking with ranked signals. The problem consists of tracking a single target given observations about the target that consist of ranked continuous signals, from unlabeled sources in a cluttered environment. We introduce appropriate factors to handle the imposed order...

In this paper, the derivation of likelihood function for parameter estimation based on double ranked set sampling (DRSS) designs used by Sabry el.al.; (2019) parameters power generalized Weibull distribution is considered. The developed then exponential Pareto parameters. maximum estimators (MLEs) are investigated and compared to corresponding ones simple random (SRS) (RSS) designs. A Monte Car...

background: it has recently been shown that the particle size of materials used for radiation shielding can affect the magnitude of radiation attenuation. over the past years, application of nano-structured materials in radiation shielding has attracted attention world-wide. the purpose of this study was to investigate the shielding properties of the lead-free shields containing micro and nano-...

the purpose of this study is to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication. casein combined with inulin used as continuous phase, while dispersed phase consisted of fish oil. the size of the nano-emulsion and the ph of nano-emulsion were characterized. ultrasound has been used for preparing emulsion by 24 khz intensity for 120 seconds. prepared nano-emulsion was investigated by pa...

in this work, we report high biological performance of silicon substituted nano hydroxyapatite (nha) prepared by immersion of calcium phosphate and sodium silicate as precursors in simulated body fluid (sbf) solution for 24, 36, 48 and 72 hrs at 37°c. characterization and chemical analysis of the synthesized powders were performed by fourier transform, infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray powde...

in this research, the mechanical properties of seven types of nanofilm with differing amounts of silver and silver-clay particles were studied. the elasticity of modulus, tensile strength, toughness, elongation at break, tear strength and color of nanofilms were compared with those of ordinary ldpe film. results showed that the inclusion of nano particles increased the modulus of elasticity, te...
