Autoignition of binary blends of n-butanol and n-heptane was studied in a rapid compression machine at an equivalence ratio of 0.4 and a compressed pressure of 20 bar with the compressed temperature varying from 700 K to 907 K. Within the temperature range covered in this study, no cool flame or negative temperature coefficient behavior was observed for neat n-butanol. With the presence of n-he...

NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) has been successfully applied to intelligent gameplay. To further improve its effectiveness, a key technique is to reuse the knowledge learned from source gameplay tasks to boost performance on target gameplay tasks. We consider this as a Transfer Learning (TL) problem. However, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) evolved by NEAT are usually unnecess...

An obstacle to validating and benchmarking methods for genome analysis is that there are few reference datasets available for which the "ground truth" about the mutational landscape of the sample genome is known and fully validated. Additionally, the free and public availability of real human genome datasets is incompatible with the preservation of donor privacy. In order to better analyze and ...

In this paper a flexible interface to high-level synthesis data (NEAT) is presented. NEAT offers three design views to common high-level synthesis data domains. Interand intra-domain relations are used to represent design relations between synthesis objects and to store synthesis results. To extend the functionality of the common synthesis interface programmers use object oriented programming t...

Chitosan film reinforced with nano-sized chitin whiskers and crosslinked using tannic acid was synthesized by the casting-vaporation method. The mechanical and physicochemical properties of several film samples (consisting of different ratio of chitin and tannic acid) were compared with neat chitosan. Tensile tests show that the addition of chitin improves the nanocomposite films mechanical pro...

The rotational dynamics of 2-ethylnaphthalene have been studied using subpicosecond transient grating optical Kerr effect techniques. Both the neat liquid and a series of dilutions in carbon tetrachloride were examined, The neat liquid was studied over a temperature range of 2-100 OC, and the 1 M solution was studied from -30 to +25 OC. After ultrafast librational dynamics have decayed, there r...

Zusammenfassung. Eine wichtige Frage in der mobilen Robotik ist die sichere Navigation in unbekannten Umgebungen unter der Anwendung preiswerter Sensorik. Solch eine Navigation kann ein künstliches Neuronales Netz (kNN) übernehmen, welches die Kopplung der Sensoren des Roboters mit dessen Antriebssystem herstellt. ” Neuro Evolution of Augmenting Topologies“ (NEAT) von Stanley und Miikkulainen [...

This article presents a "Hybrid Self-Attention NEAT" method to improve the original NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) algorithm in high-dimensional inputs. Although NEAT has shown significant result different challenging tasks, as input representations are high dimensional, it cannot create well-tuned network. Our study addresses this limitation by using self-attention an indirect ...
