Different techniques are used to model the relationship between temperatures, dew point and relative humidity. Gene expression programming is capable of modelling complex realities with great accuracy, allowing at the same time, the extraction of knowledge from the evolved models compared to other learning algorithms. We aim to use Gene Expression Programming for modelling of dew point. General...

Correspondence to A.R. Moghassem email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study compares capabilities of two different modelling methodologies for predicting breaking strength of rotor spun yarns. Forty eight yarn samples were produced considering variations in three drawing frame parameters namely break draft, delivery speed, and distance between back and middle rolls. Several topologies with dif...

A recently proposed paradigm suggests that, like their dietary counterparts, digestion of gastrointestinal endogenous proteins (GEP) may also produce bioactive peptides. With an aim to test this hypothesis, in vitro digests of four GEP namely; trypsin (TRYP), lysozyme (LYS), mucin (MUC), serum albumin (SA) and a dietary protein chicken albumin (CA) were screened for their angiotensin-I converti...

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous group of malignancies, characterised by production of hormones and vasoactive peptides. The incidence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) is rising, and they have the highest prevalence amongst upper gastro-intestinal tumors. Diagnosis remains challenging due to wide variations in presentation and slow onset of sympto...

BACKGROUND Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors, and lack of data in Asian populations especially in China. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical, pathological and prognostic characteristics of GEP-NENs in China. METHODS We collected clinical and pathological data of 168 patients diagnosed with GEP-NENs and treated ...

In the current paper we present the application of our Gene Expression Programming Environment in forecasting Euro-United States Dollar exchange rate. Specifically, using the GEP Environment we tried to forecast the value of the exchange rate using its previous values. The data for the EUROUSD exchange rate are online available from the European Central Bank (ECB). The environment was developed...

A neuroendocrine neoplasm (nen) is a tumor that originates in neuroendocrine cells capable of producing peptides or amines. neuroendocrine neoplasms of the digestive system are also referred to as gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GeP nen) and constitute a heterogeneous group of growths originating from at least 15 types of specialized cells spread throughout the stomach, small i...

Sketching is one of the most important processes in the conceptual stage of design. Previous studies have relied largely on the analyses of sketching process and outcomes; whereas surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals associated with sketching have received little attention. In this study, we propose a method in which 11 basic one-stroke sketching shapes are identified from the sEMG signals ...

OBJECTIVE Somatostatin (sst) are present in the majority of gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) tumours. Effects of somatostatin receptor (sst) analogues are partial and of limited duration. Cell lines derived from GEP express dopaminergic receptors D(2). New chimeric analogues simultaneously recognising sst(2) and sst(5) or sst(2) and D(2) have additive effects in inhibition of GH and prolactin sec...
