nowadays, due to increasing the complexity of ic engines, calibration task becomes more severe and the need to use surrogate models for investigating of the engine behavior arises. accordingly, many black box modeling approaches have been used in this context among which network based models are of the most powerful approaches thanks to their flexible structures. in this paper four network base...

This paper presents a Min-Max modular k-nearest neighbor (M-k-NN) classification method for massively parallel text categorization. The basic idea behind the method is to decompose a large-scale text categorization problem into a number of smaller two-class subproblems and combine all of the individual modular k-NN classifiers trained on the smaller two-class subproblems into an M-k-NN classifi...

Preslaughter muscle temperature in anesthetized pigs of different halothane genotypes (NN, Nn, and nn) was raised or lowered during a 45-min period of anesthesia. The different treatments produced muscle and rectal temperature differentials of 1.5 to 2 degrees C across genotypes. Blood and muscle biopsy samples were taken during the period of anesthesia, to study muscle energy metabolism by mea...

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) provides differential corrections for a GPS receiver in order to improve the navigation solution accuracy. DGPS position signals are accurate, but very slow updates. Improving DGPS corrections prediction accuracy has received considerable attention in past decades. In this research work, the Neural Network (NN) based on the Gaussian Radial Basis Fun...

Three new ruthenium alkylidene complexes (PCy3)Cl2(H2ITap)Ru=CHSPh (9), (DMAP)2Cl2(H2ITap)Ru=CHPh (11) and (DMAP)2Cl2(H2ITap)Ru=CHSPh (12) have been synthesized bearing the pH-responsive H2ITap ligand (H2ITap = 1,3-bis(2',6'-dimethyl-4'-dimethylaminophenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene). Catalysts 11 and 12 are additionally ligated by two pH-responsive DMAP ligands. The crystal structure was s...

3-Alkylidene oxindoles (methyleneindolinones), be they natural or man-made substances, occupy a preeminent position among the various classes of chemically and medicinally relevant small-molecule scaffolds. Their plural functional architecture featuring a lactam carbonyl flanked by a highly substituted exocyclic double bond renders them enabling intermediates to be elaborated into a myriad of u...

The synthesis of simple imidazolium-based ligand precursors containing a 1,3-alkylidene-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene spacer was examined and different synthetic protocols were applied depending on the nature of the alkylidene arm. For a methylene arm, simple dications 5a,b.2CI were obtained directly. The higher homologue counterparts were conveniently prepared by general multistep routes following a ...
