modeling of stream flow–suspended sediment relationship is one of the most studied topics in hydrology due to itsessential application to water resources management. recently, artificial intelligence has gained much popularity owing toits application in calibrating the nonlinear relationships inherent in the stream flow–suspended sediment relationship. thisstudy made us of adaptive neuro-fuzzy ...

OBJECTIVE To determine, using an animal model of blood loss, (1) if stroke distance, derived non-invasively from the time integral of the maximum velocity of red cells in the aorta, changed to a greater extent than heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP), which are recognised to be unreliable indicators of blood loss; (2) if changes in stroke distance reflected changes in stroke volume deri...

A disjunctive programming problem corresponds to the minimization of an objective function on a constraint set which is a union of sets, for example, min f (x) s.t. min j∈ J g j (x) ≤ 0 where the functions f and g j are real valued defined on a Banach space X and J is a (possibly infinite) index set. This class of problems has been introduced by Balas [4] in 1974 and then studied by many author...

Modal local polynomial regression uses double kernel as the loss function to gain some robustness in the nonparametric regression. Current researches use the standard normal density function as the weight function to down-weigh the influences from the outliers. This paper extends the standard normal weight function to a general class weight functions. All the theoretical properties found by usi...

Background: Bone Mineral density (BMD) is considered as one of the golden tool to measure bone quality in which two measurements namely T- Score and Z –score are used report BMD test results. Whenever there deterioration it associated with low skeletal mass. Creatinine a chemical waste molecule that generated from this muscle metabolism. good marker for However, limited studies have been done t...
