A computational model of a self-structuring neuronal net is presented in which repetitively applied pattern sets induce the formation of cortical columns and microcircuits which decode distinct patterns after a learning phase. In a case study, it is demonstrated how specific neurons in a feature classifier layer become orientation selective if they receive bar patterns of different slopes from ...

The artificial neural networks, the learning algorithms and mathematical models mimicking the information processing ability of human brain can be used non-linear and complex data. The aim of this study was to predict the breeding values for milk production trait in Iranian Holstein cows applying artificial neural networks. Data on 35167 Iranian Holstein cows recorded between 1998 to 2009 were ...

Synthetic dyes comprise a large group of organic, organic salt and organometallic compounds which number in the thousands. Most individual dyes are assigned colour index (CI) numbers which helps to identify structure and properties as well as identity where a series of names have been used by the manufacturers for the same dye. Pigments are also listed and can be either organic or inorganic in ...

A comparison between two known strategies of modeling lap joint interfaces, namely, zero-thickness and thin layer interface theories and their associated updating procedures, is made. Finite element...

book through his lucid presentation of much technical data. The discussion of corrosive qualities of water is unusually thorough and explicit as is his discussion of the sanitary significance of impurities in water and on bacterial decomposition of organic matter in water. What might be considered to be a deficiency is the rather limited discussion of waterborne diseases. The liberal footnotes ...

The effects of immobilizing a thin layer of water adjacent to the surface of a colloidal particle are calculated using the Dynamic Stern Layer model introduced by Zukoski and Saville. Supposing water is immobilized by, for example, unreacted monomer or polymer chains dangling from the particle surface allows one to divide the diffuse layer into two regions, an outer region where transport is by...
