Two-dimensional (2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins is a robust and reproducible technique. It is the most widely used separation tool in proteomics. Current efforts in the field are directed at development of tools for expanding the range of proteins accessible with 2D gels. Proteomics was built around the 2D gel. The idea that multiple proteins can be analyzed in parallel grew...

Fuzzy cognitive map is a powerful modeling tool. It has several desirable properties on control. In this paper, we utilize the feature and the inference mechanism of fuzzy cognitive map, and present a control method, which study combines control theory with fuzzy cognitive map theory. The causal relationship of variables is constructed by online learning or offline learning, the values of contr...

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) have successfully been applied in numerous domains to show relations between essential components. In some FCM, there are more nodes, which related to each other and more nodes means more complex in system behaviors and analysis. In this paper, a novel learning method used to construct FCMs based on historical data and by using data mining and DEMATEL method, a new m...

The policy objective of safeguarding financial stability has stimulated a wave of research on systemic risk analytics, yet it still faces challenges in measurability. This paper models systemic risk by tapping into expert knowledge of financial supervisors. We decompose systemic risk into a number of interconnected segments, for which the level of vulnerability is measured. The system is modele...

This work describes a cognitive heuristic allowing agents to assess trust and delegations merging heterogenous information sources. The model is realized through Uninformed Cognitive Maps, based on the combination of: (i) categorization abilities (ii) history of personal experiences (iii) context awareness.

In this paper we would like to propose that the methodology of cognitive modeling can provide an approach to the implementation of socially adept technologies and the evaluation of its usability. We base this approach on the assumption that representations play an essential role in mediating social relations. Cognitive representations and their causal link to the social and physical environment...

Developers’ emotional stability in agile software development (ASD) teams is an important factor affecting the success of a project. Traditional Happiness Chart depends on people’s self-report and is unable to produce predictive analysis to facilitate decision-making. In this paper, we proposed a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) based method for analyzing ASD developers’ emotional stability. We design...

The study of spatial cognition in psychology and cognitive neuroscience aims at identifying the neural and computational mechanisms underlying spatial behaviors such as homing (returning to the starting point of an excursion),wayfinding,or pointing to invisible targets from memory. As always in the empirical sciences, minimal, or parsimonious explanations are sought that make no unnecessary ass...

EDI control design is ill-structured and demands consideration of the complex causal relationships among various components of the controls, which may be broadly classi®ed into formal, informal, and automated types. Each of these can, in turn, be categorized as internal or external. However, it is dif®cult even for EDI experts to predict the causal effects of one control on another. In order to...

According to UNICEF, Child trafficking is defined as “any person under the age 18 who is recruited, transported, transferred, harboured or received for the purpose of exploitation, either within or outside a country”. It has been mentioned in the article that children were missing overnight, as many as one every eight minutes, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. Children were traffi...
