In this article, the ant colony method is utilized for topology optimization of space structures. Strain energy of the structure is minimized while the material volume is limited to a certain amount. In other words, the stiffest possible structure is sought when certain given materials are used. In addition, a noise cleaning technique is addressed to prevent undesirable members in optimum topol...

In the title salt, C(5)H(7)N(2) (+)·C(10)H(9)O(2) (-), 2-amino-pyridine and 1-phenyl-cyclo-propane-1-carb-oxy-lic acid crystallize together, forming a 2-amino-pyridinium-carboxyl-ate supra-molecular heterosynthon involving two N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which in turn dimerizes to form a four-component supra-molecular unit also sustained by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. A C-H⋯π inter-action between a pyrid...

| We have recently introduced a framework for the reuse of knowledge from previously trained classiiers to improve performance in a current, possibly related classi-cation task. This framework requires the use of a supra-classiier, which makes a classiication decision based on the outputs of a large number of previously trained diverse classiiers. We discuss the performance requirements of a go...

a. csaszar introduced and extensively studied the notionof generalized open sets. following csazar, we introduce a new notionsuperconnected. the main purpose of this paper is to study generalizedsuperconnected spaces. various characterizations of generalized super-connected spaces and preservation theorems are discussed.

This paper reports the results of a series of posted-offer experiments designed to examine the effects of static market power on prices, when other factors such as excess supply, the number of sellers, and dynamic incentives are held constant. Static market power results in a dramatic price increase in posted-offer triopolies with complete demand information. The effects of market power are not...

We propose a new decoder based on a generalized confidencescore. The generalized confidence score is defined as a product of confidence scores obtained from confidence information sources such as likelihood, likelihood ratio, duration, duration ratio, language model probabilities, supra-segmental information etc. All confidence information sources are converted into confidence scores by a confi...

Apart from the ‘normal’ linguistic information entailed in user utterances segmental (phone/word) information and syntactic/semantic information – there is additional information (supra-segmental and para-linguistic) that can be useful for deciding whether an automatic dialogue system performs well or not. In this paper, we want to deal with such additional information and correlate it with sys...

The purpose of this paper is to construct a weak hyper semi-quantale as a generalization of the concept of semi-quantale and used it as an appropriate hyperlattice-theoretic basis to formulate new lattice-valued topological theories. Based on such weak hyper semi-quantale, we aim to construct the notion of a weak hypervalued-topology as a generalized form of the so-called lattice-valued t...
