Psychologists have developed models of associative learning for more than 30 years. Despite the strong efforts made, they still suffer many shortcomings. We have tried to build an integral model of habituation, the simplest type of learning within the area of associative learning and the basic support for other types. To overcome the deficiencies of traditional models, we have made used of Chri...

determination of the amount of sugar in sugar beet is usually accomplished by polarimetric method in sugar industry. this method is not accurate due to impurities such as sodium, potassium and amino-nitrogen that are present and might cause some errors in the evaluation of the technical quality of sugar beet. in this research, 7309 samples of sugar beet from two semi- arid county, isfahan and c...

In this paper an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based controller is presented for the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of a five area interconnected power system with reheat turbines. The control scheme guarantees that steady state error of the area frequencies and inadvertent interchange of tielines are maintained in a given tolerance limit. ANN controller controls the inputs of each area i...

in this paper, we present an efficient method for determining the solution of the stochastic second kind volterra integral equations (svie) by using the taylor expansion method. this method transforms the svie to a linear stochastic ordinary differential equation which needs specified boundary conditions. for determining boundary conditions, we use the integration technique. this technique give...

In this paper, at first, we introduce $alpha_{mu}$-admissible, $Z_mu$-contraction and  $N_{mu}$-contraction via simulation functions. We prove some new fixed point theorems for defined class of contractions   via $alpha$-admissible simulation mappings, as well. Our results  can be viewed as extension of the corresponding results in this area.  Moreover, some examples and an application to funct...

‎In this paper‎, ‎indirect collocation approach based on compactly supported radial basis function (CSRBF) is applied for solving Volterra's population model. The method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations‎. ‎Volterra's model is a non-linear integro-differential equation where the integral term represents the effect of toxin‎. ‎To solve the pr...

Abstract: Recently, the two most general and well-known fuzzy integrals (Sugeno's integral and Choquet's integral) were characterized. It was also shown how both integrals fitted the same formal model, and they only differed in the operators used. In this paper we try to analyze whether it is possible to improve those characterization theorems, and we also study the possibility of defining othe...

This prospective study assessed whether respiratory variations in velocity time integral, peak blood flow velocity and non-invasive pleth variability index are useful measurements in infants undergoing congenital heart surgery and determined threshold values that may help guide fluid administration. In 27 infants receiving mechanical ventilation, of mean (SD) weight 10.4 (6.3) kg, 13 increased ...

This paper presents a practical model for load frequency control (LFC) of two-area interconnected power system. The proposed model is a non-linear power system and is framed with thermal generating units including security constraint governor dead band imposed by the governor. A Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is used for the design and analysis of the proposed model. The Part...
