The reversibility issue of one-dimensional asynchronous cellular automata (ACAs) is addressed in this paper. The cells of ACAs are updated independently. The cellular automata (CAs) rules are classified as reversible and irreversible rules. The irreversible rules cannot configure reversible ACAs. The reversible rules may configure reversible ACAs depending upon the update of ACA cells. Finally,...

Abstract To improve the accuracy of wind power forecasting, improved ACA (Ant Colony Algorithm) is used to optimize GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) model. First, original generation data normalized; Second, neural network model established, and ant colony algorithm it; Finally, optimized non-optimized are predict short-term output, prediction results compared verify that ACA-GRU has higher for output.

Conservation management is often integrated into a broader tourism context, and under some conditions allows wildlife trophy hunting to support its goals. In such cases it generally acknowledged that the direct impact of requires careful monitoring regulation with respect size dynamics hunted populations. However, may also affect behaviour local wildlife, including their reaction approach human...

The prevailing view among health policy experts seems to be that today’s political polarization means yearsof trenchwarfare areahead for theAffordable Care Act (ACA). According to this gloomy view, a messy stalemate is assured for years to come. I’m not so sure. I believe the states can and will become the vehicle—both politically and technically—for an era of progress inwhicheachpolitical side...

Cellular automata are used as models of emergent computation and artificial life. They are usually simulated under synchronous and deterministic conditions. Thus, they are evolved without existence of noise, i.e., fluctuation or randomness. However, noise is unavoidable in real world. The target of the present paper is to show the following two effects and several other phenomena caused by exis...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of pharmacologic pupillary dilatation on anterior chamber depth (ACD) and anterior chamber angle (ACA) in eyes with exfoliation syndrome (XFS). METHODS Thirty-six eyes of 36 patients with XFS were evaluated with slit-lamp examination, Goldmann applanation tonometry and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) under standard light conditions. ...

Time lags in receiving data from long-standing, large federal surveys complicate real-time estimation of the coverage effects of full Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation. Fast-turnaround household surveys fill some of the void in data on recent changes to insurance coverage, but they lack the historical data that allow analysts to account for trends that predate the ACA, economic fluctuati...

We examined sera from sixdifferent groupsofpatientsfor CK-MB activity by means of two commercially available tests,an immunoinhibitionmethod (E. Merck) and the CK-MB test as used with the aca (Du Pont). In the first group of patients (suspicion of myocardial infarction) the correlationbetween the two methods was good: r = 0.9191, y = 1.068x0.888, = 18.7 U/L, = 19.0 U/L. Inthe second group,patie...

AIMS To determine whether the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with suspected myocardial infarction is predictive of complications during hospital stay or after discharge. METHODS Anticardiolipin antibodies were serially measured in a cohort of 111 patients, from the time of admission to the coronary care until till eight weeks after discharge. Associations with fatal and no...

We have shown that the tetrapeptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (Ac-SDKP) inhibited endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and reduced left ventricle collagen deposition in rats with aldosterone (salt)- and ANG II-induced hypertension. However, it is not known whether these effects are mediated by receptor bindin...
