In this paper, we present an on-line learning neuro-fuzzy system which was inspired by parts of the mechanisms in immune systems. It illustrates how an on-line learning neuro-fuzzy system can capture the basic elements of the immune system and exhibit some of its appealing properties. During the learning procedure, a neuro-fuzzy system can be incrementally constructed. We illustrate the potenti...

The TPC-E is the new benchmark recently approved by the TPC council. It is designed to exercise an On-Line Transaction Processing workload of a brokerage firm and be representative of current database server work. In this paper we present DBT-5, a fair usage open-source implementation of the TPC-E benchmark. In addition to reporting on the design and implementation details of the tool, experime...

there are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. these problems will cause overestimation of process time. layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...

This article calls attention to a difficulty with insurers' investment policies that seems to have been overlooked so far. There is the distinct possibility that insurers cannot satisfy the demands of different stakeholders in terms of expected returns and volatility. While using the capital asset pricing model as the benchmark, this article distinguishes two groups of stakeholders that impose ...

In the context of the renewed interest of peptides as therapeutics, it is important to have an on-line resource for 3D structure prediction of peptides with well-defined structures in aqueous solution. We present an updated version of PEP-FOLD allowing the treatment of both linear and disulphide bonded cyclic peptides with 9-36 amino acids. The server makes possible to define disulphide bonds a...

In this paper, it is aimed to computationally conduct a performance benchmarking for the steepest descent and three well-known conjugate gradient methods (i.e., Fletcher-Reeves, Polak-Ribiere Hestenes-Stiefel) along with six different step length calculation techniques/conditions, namely Backtracking, Armijo-Backtracking, Goldstein, weakWolfe, strongWolfe, Exact local minimizer in unconstrained...

Planar structures are essential components of the urban landscape and automated extraction planar structure from LiDAR data is a fundamental step in solving complex mapping tasks such as building recognition and urban modelling. This paper presents a new and effective method for planar structure extraction from airborne LiDAR data based on spectral clustering of straight line segments. The stra...

In 2014, Kielkopf and Allard (KA) performed a benchmark experiment where they measured the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the Hα line at the electron densities Ne by two orders of magnitude greater than the corresponding previous benchmark experiments, namely up to Ne = 1.4 × 10 20 cm-3. No theoretical calculations of the FWHM of the Hα line existed in this range of Ne. In the present pap...
