Connectivity in today’s enterprise networks is regulated by a combination of complex routing and bridging policies, along with various interdiction mechanisms such as ACLs, packet filters, and other middleboxes that attempt to retrofit access control onto an otherwise permissive network architecture. This leads to enterprise networks that are inflexible, fragile, and difficult to manage. To add...

This article presents a new reinforcement learning method called SANE (Symbiotic, Adaptive Neuro-Evolution), which evolves a population of neurons through genetic algorithms to form a neural network capable of performing a task. Symbiotic evolution promotes both cooperation and specialization, which results in a fast, e cient genetic search and discourages convergence to suboptimal solutions. I...

In a first part the Rayleigh model has been tested in long distance submarine acoustics transmission and we present sane experimental results of explicit frequential diversity. In the general delay and Doppler dispersive, case, we present sane results of inplicit diversity in order to decrease the error probability and we show the consequences of this concept on to the signal design problem. We...

The Segmentation According to Natural Examples (SANE) algorithm learns to segment objects in static images from video training data. SANE uses background subtraction to find the segmentation of moving objects in videos. This provides object segmentation information for each video frame. The collection of frames and segmentations forms a training set that SANE uses to learn the image and shape p...

The negative sign of the anomalous Nernst thermopower (SANE) observed in Mn-Ga ordered alloys is an attractive property for thermoelectric applications exploiting effect (ANE); however, its origin has not been clarified. In this study, to gain insight into SANE, we prepared epitaxial thin films MnxGa100−x with x ranging from 56.2 71.7 and systematically investigated structural, magnetic, transp...

the mental disabled are not regarded responsible for their harmful behavior as they are unable to realize the harmful effect of their conduct. thus their behavior cannot be considered as culpable and they are not at fault in a moral sense. however french law (art. 489- 2 code civil) and iranian law (art. 1216 iranian civil code), impose legal liability to such persons for their tortiuos behavio...
