In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...

Our approach is a departure from the procedures usually employed in the following important respects: (1) We recognize the typ ica l ly overlooked d is t inc t ion between lines and edges; f inding l ines offers s igni f icant simpl i f icat ions not available when searching for edges. (2) The perceptual pr imit ive we extract from the image to Indicate the local presence of l inear structure i...

Introduction: Very low, Low and Medium X-ray machines are used extensively for Superficial Radiation Therapy mostly used for Basal Cell, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma skin cancers. In most of cases, Superficial X-ray Therapy (SXRT) is preferred to Electron beams generated using a linear accelerator. SXRT tube characteristics may vary with the use of the machine for a lo...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of implant position transfer and surface detail reproduction using two impression techniques and materials. materials and methods: a metal model with two implants and three grooves of 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 mm in depth on the flat superior surface of a die was fabricated. ten regular-body polyether (pe) and 10 regular-body polyvinyl...

In this paper, we propose a new optimized PID controller to stabilize the synchronous machine connected to an infinite bus. The model for the synchronous machine is 4-ordered linear Philips-Heffron synchronous machine. In this research, the parameters of the PID controller are optimally achieved by minimizing a definite fitness function to removes the unstable Eigen-value to the left side of im...
