The values and velocities of a Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm can be recorded as series of matrix and its population diversity can be considered as an observation of the distribution of matrix elements. Each dimension is measured separately in the dimension-wise diversity, on the contrary, the element-wise diversity measures all dimension together. In this paper, PSO algorithm is f...

Fuzzy Description Logics have been widely studied as a formalism for representing and reasoning withvague knowledge. One of the most basic reasoning tasks in (fuzzy) Description Logics is to decide whetheran ontology representing a knowledge domain is consistent. Surprisingly, not much is known about thecomplexity of this problem for semantics based on complete De Morgan lattices. T...

AIMS Native tissue second harmonic imaging (SHI) implemented in two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography was found to improve left ventricular (LV) endocardial border delineation. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) depends on the ability to adequately visualize these borders. We analysed whether SHI, compared to fundamental imaging (FI), can improve echogenicity qualitatively and quantitativ...

Traffic offloading is a promising technique to alleviate the traffic load in LTE core networks. Based on 3GPP “SIPTO” (Selected IP Traffic Offload) architecture, this paper proposes dynamic SIPTO mechanism (D-SIPTO) for traffic offloading in LTE HeNB networks, which combines fast fourier transform (FFT) based IP traffic classification scheme (FFTTCS) with the dynamic traffic offload path select...

This paper discusses the proposals of Li and Thompson (1977), Yen (1986), and Feng (1993) in relation to the development of the Chinese copula and argues that Li and Thompson’s suggestion of a topic mechanism, Yen’s analogical change, and Feng’s phonological pause are unsatisfactory in explaining the development of the copula. It is suggested that Katz’s (1996) cognitive concept of existence in...
