For many years, major antimalarial drugs consisted of natural products, but since 1930s these drugs have been largely replaced with a series of synthetic drugs. This article tries to briefly indicate that some plants which previously were used to treat malaria, as a result of deficiencies of synthetic drugs, have rev...

This system represents Dragon’s first participation in the HUB4 evaluations since the 1995 Marketplace dry run. At that time, we used a fairly complicated system which had three sets of acoustic models: one for clean wide-bandwidth data, one for low-bandwidth data, and one for speech with music in the background. Our system produced small pieces that were labelled by channel type and then decod...

because of the piecewise linear nature of the data envelopment analysis (dea) frontier, the optimal multipliers of the dea models may not be unique. choosing weights from alternative optimal solutions of dual multiplier models is one of the most frequently studied subjects in the context of dea. in this paper, the authors have been inspired by the idea of cooper et al. (2011) to propose a linea...

Since McCulloch and Pitts’ seminal work (McCulloch & Pitts, 1943), several models of discrete neural networks have been proposed, many of them presenting the ability of assigning a discrete value (other than unipolar or bipolar) to the output of a single neuron. These models have focused on a wide variety of applications. One of the most important models was developed by J. Hopfield in (Hopfiel...
