In this study, we have classified different types of problems which are related to facility planning and layout design for different types of manufacturing processes. The main problems which are related to location of facilities which also affects the system performance such as distribution of man, material and machine in a plant or a factory and their optimization technique while using of math...

Cysteine side chains of proteins are being increasingly appreciated as the site of major posttranslational modifications that exert profound degrees of protein regulation. One of the consequences of tissue nitroso-redox imbalance is a process by which regulatory thiols switch from a state of physiologic regulation by S-nitrosylation to a state of dysregulated function because of oxidation. A ke...

Current mosaicing methods use narrow field of view cameras to acquire image data. This poses problems when computing a complete spherical mosaic. First, a large number of images are needed to capture a sphere. Second, errors in mosaicing make it difficult to complete the spherical mosaic without seams. Third, with a hand-held camera it is hard for the user to ensure complete coverage of the sph...

We investigate a simple semi-naive Bayesian ranking method that combines naive Bayes with induction of decision tables. Naive Bayes and decision tables can both be trained efficiently, and the same holds true for the combined semi-naive model. We show that the resulting ranker, compared to either component technique, frequently significantly increases AUC. For some datasets it significantly imp...

Leadership has been identified as one of the critical factors in the successful development of e-government projects especially so in developing countries. Unfortunately, empirical studies linking the outcome of egovernment projects and the role of leadership are very limited. Moreover, these studies did not comprehensively discuss the role of leadership in implementing e-government projects in...

We propose a novel method to detect events involving multiple agents in a video and to learn their structure in terms of temporally related chain of sub-events. The proposed method has three significant contributions over existing frameworks. First, we present the concept of a video event graph, to learn the event structure from training videos. The video event graph is composed of temporally c...

Much of the work on opponent modeling for game tree search has been unsuccessful. In two-player, zero-sum games, the gains from opponent modeling are often outweighed by the cost of modeling. Opponent modeling solutions simply cannot search as deep as the highly optimized minimax search with alpha-beta pruning. Recent work has begun to look at the need for opponent modeling in n-player or gener...

Human mast cells (MC) were derived from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow progenitors cultured in the presence of a conditioned medium from a human mastocytosis cell strain and recombinant human kit ligand (rhKL). KL induced MC of predominantly two immunophenotypes, MCT and MCTC. In contrast, the conditioned medium induced MC subtypes MCTC and a third subtype, MCC, positive for chymase but n...
