A novel information identification model is proposed to support accurate classification tasks with mixtures of categorical and real-valued attributes. This model combines the advantages of rough set theory and cluster validity method to promote the classification quality to the higher levels. Real-valued attribute values are pre-processed by fuzzy c-means clustering method and then analyzed by ...

This paper presents a new approach for classifying transient phenomena in power transformers, which may be implemented in digital relaying for transformer differential protection. Discrimination of various operating conditions of the power transformer is achieved by combining wavelet transform with Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS). The wavelet transform is applied for the analysis ...

• Exploring of the discrimination power of deep-UV RRS (excitation below 260 nm). This offers higher sensitivity and reduces fluorescence interference, but results in a reduced spectral information content Nevertheless, we could discriminate pyrene derivatives based on their RRS spectra.. With state-of-the-art computational methods we could simulate RRS spectra using linearresponse time-depende...

SUMMARY This letter presents a low-power switched current (SI) memory cell with CMOS-type configuration. By combining nMOS and pMOS in the SI memory cell and using a polarity discrimination circuit, we design a CMOS-type SI memory cell which eliminates the quiescent current in the SI memory cell. The simulation result shows that the CMOS-type SI memory cell consumes less power than the conventi...

Single frequency laser sources are desired in many applications. Various architectures for achieving high power single frequency fiber laser outputs have been investigated and demonstrated. Axial gain apodization can affect the lasing threshold and spectral modal discrimination of DFB lasers. Modeling results show that if properly tailored, the lasing threshold can be reduced by 21% without sac...

Absolute pitch (AP)--the ability to name a musical note in the absence of a reference note--is a rare ability whose relevance to musical proficiency has so far been unclear. Sixty trained musicians--thirty who self-reported AP and thirty with equivalent age of onset and duration of musical training--were administered a test for AP and also a musical dictation test not requiring AP. Performance ...

Drawing from minority stress (Meyer, 2003) and feminist multicultural (Brown, 1994) theories, the present study investigated the additive and interactive relations between 2 types of external minority stress (heterosexist discrimination and racist events) and 4 internal stress processes related to identifying as a South Asian American lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) person (internalize...

In three studies, we examined how racial progress affects Whites' perceptions of anti-White bias. When racial progress was chronically (Study 1) and experimentally (Study 2) salient, Whites who believed the current U.S. status hierarchy was legitimate were more likely to report that Whites were victims of racial discrimination. In contrast, Whites who perceived the current status system as ille...
