The aim of this paper is to study L-fuzzy uniformizable spaces. A new kind of topological fuzzy remote neighborhood system is defined and used for investigating the relationship between L-fuzzy co-topology and L-fuzzy (quasi-)uniformity. It is showed that this fuzzy remote neighborhood system is different from that in [23] when U is an Lfuzzy quasi-uniformity and they will be coincident when U ...

The lexical frequency of an upcoming word affects reading times even when the upcoming word is masked from readers (Angele et al., 2015). One explanation for this observation is that readers may slow down if there is high uncertainty about upcoming material. In line with this hypothesis, this study finds a positive correlation between predictive entropy and self-paced reading times. This study ...

The purpose of this study is to build a relaxation system which can control a user’s body condition, changing the operation mode and intensity of the massage seat according to the user current condition. Heart rate is an index of human conditions which can be easily measured, and it has chaotic dynamics. In this paper, we show relations between the intensity of the massage operation and two ind...

Recently I suggested that a cause is an event which, in its context of occurrence, is both necessary and sufficient for the effect. However this definition is only appropriate if there is a single potential cause of the effect. Consequently I suggest a generalization of the definition and discuss the resulting “Production Theory”. I suggest that this can be seen as a combination of a regularity...

The paradigm of multisensor data fusion has been evolved from a centralized architecture to a decentralized or distributed architecture along with the advancement in sensor and communication technologies. These days, distributed state estimation and data fusion has been widely explored in diverse fields of engineering and control due to its superior performance over the centralized one in terms...

We study the critical dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations in R with arbitrary H initial data. After showing certain decay estimate, a global well-posedness result is proved by adapting the method in [11] with a suitable modification. A decay in time estimate for higher order homogeneous Sobolev norms of solutions is also discussed.

Understanding ensemble diversity is one of the most important fundamental issues in ensemble learning. Inspired by a recent work trying to explain ensemble diversity from the information theoretic perspective, in this paper we study the ensemble diversity from the view of multi-information. We show that from this view, the ensemble diversity can be decomposed over the component classifiers cons...

We address the practical problems of estimating the information relations that characterize large networks. Building on methods developed for analysis of the neural code, we show that reliable estimates of mutual information can be obtained with manageable computational effort. The same methods allow estimation of higher order, multi–information terms. These ideas are illustrated by analyses of...

Encoding temporal information from the recent past as spatially distributed activations is essential in order for the entire recent past to be simultaneously accessible. Any biological or synthetic agent that relies on the past to predict/plan the future, would be endowed with such a spatially distributed temporal memory. Simplistically, we would expect that resource limitations would demand th...

In the 1980s, there were numerous claims, based on estimates of the correlation dimension, that the variability of various geophysical processes, in particular rainfall, is generated by a low-dimensional deterministic chaos. Due to a recent attempt (Sivakumar et ai, 2001) to revive the same approach and with claims of an analogous result for the rainfall-runoff process, we think it is necessary...
