We review the empirical evidence for the validity of the Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) diagnosis, the vast majority of which has come from research conducted within the last 10 years. After reviewing three different guidelines to establish diagnostic validity, we conclude that considerable converging evidence supports the inclusion of DID in the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ...

three artificial neural networks (ann) models; general regression neural network (grnn), redial basis function (rbf) and three layer multiple perceptron network were carried out to evaluate the prediction of the apparent metabolizable energy (ame) of wheat and corn from its chemical composition in broiler. input variables included: gross energy (ge), crude protein (cp), crude fiber (cf), ether ...

Abstract The present work proposes several pre-injection patterns to reduce nitrogen oxides in the Wärtsilä 6L 46 marine engine. A numerical model was carried out characterise emissions and consumption of Several quantities, durations, starting instants were analysed. It found that can be noticeably reduced but at expense increasing as well other such carbon monoxide hydrocarbons. According thi...

We present a heuristic method to optimize the capacity of a WDM mesh network assigning working and protection capacity to a set of static optical-connection requests under the linkdisjoint constraint. The method can be applied to networks supporting either dedicated or shared path-protection. Routing and fiber and wavelength assignment (RFWA) are jointly performed for all the lightpaths with th...

Physical-layer security for wireless networks has become an effective approach and recently drawn significant attention in the literature. In particular, the deployment and allocation of resources such as relays to assist the transmission have gained significant interest due to their ability to improve the secrecy rate of wireless networks. In this work, we examine relay selection criteria with...

This brief presents three sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability of cellular neural networks with time delays. The new stability results provide algebraic criteria for stability verifications and improve upon existing ones with stronger conditions. To demonstrate the differences and features of the new stability criteria, several examples are discussed to compare the present...

As required by the Routing Protocol Criteria [RFC 1264], this memo discusses the applicability of the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) in routing of IP datagrams over Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) networks, such as ATM, SMDS and X.25. 1. Protocol Documents The NHRP protocol description is defined in [1]. The NHRP MIB description is defined in [2].
