A Bayesian model coupled with a fuzzy neural network (BFNN) is developed to alleviate the difficulty of using geophysical data in lithology estimation when cross correlation between lithology and geophysical attributes is nonlinear. The prior estimate is inferred from borehole lithology measurements using indicator kriging based on spatial correlation, and the posterior estimate is obtained fro...

BACKGROUND We describe nine females with Rett Syndrome (RS), aged 14 to 26 years. All had had developmental delay before the end of their first year and had subsequently regressed to profound dementia with apraxia, ataxia, irregular respirations and often also seizures. METHODS The Revised Gesell developmental assessment and Alpern-Boll Developmental Profile were used in modified form. Volume...

The purpose of this study is to construct a fuzzy lithology system from well logs to identify formation lithology of a groundwater aquifer system in order to better apply conventional well logging interpretation in hydro-geologic studies because well log responses of aquifers are sometimes different from those of conventional oil and gas reservoirs. The input variables for this system are the g...

report on the syndrome of brain atrophy in girls first described by Andreas Rett2 in Austria, it has become customary to divide the classical course of the disease into four stages.3,4 After the early onset stagnation stage at ⁄2 to 1⁄2 years, there follows the rapid destructive stage lasting weeks to months at one to three years, with stereotypic and autistic features, loss of speech and hand ...

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the value of the proposed Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) instrument for geological mapping applications. HyspIRI-like data were collected as part of the HyspIRI airborne campaign that covered large regions of California, USA, over multiple seasons. This work focused on a Southern California area, which encompasses Imperial Valley, the Salton...

in western and southern watersheds of isfahan province, combinations of natural and human factors have caused numerous landslides related damages. one of the main strategies for restricting the damage caused by the landslide is to avoid these regions. for this purpose, it is necessary to prepare precise landslide hazard zonation map for such areas. for this purpose, by aerial photos, satellite ...

introduction: soil erosion by water is one of the most important processes of land degradation, especially in semi-arid areas. among different types of the soil erosion, gully erosion accounts as one of the most critical processes which can cause soil destruction, changes in landscape and water resources filling of reservoir of dams,decrease in water transport capacity of rivers and agricultura...
