it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

binary logistic regression (blr) has been developed as non-linear models to establish quantitative structure- activity relationships (qsar) between structural descriptors and biochemical activity of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. using a training set consisted of 21 compounds with known ki values, the model was trained and tested to solve two-class problems as active or inactive on the basis of...

many researchers adopt local binary pattern for pattern analysis. however, the long histogram created by local binary pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. this paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...

A method based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) was developed to study the phase behavior of multicomponent and multiphase systems. Upon application of the GA to the thermodynamic models which are commonly used to study the VLE, VLLE and LLE phase equilibria, the physically meaningful values for the Binary Interaction Parameters (BIP) of the models were obtained. Using the method proposed in t...

In a structural time series regression model, binary variables have been used to quantify qualitative or categorical quantitative events such as politic and economic structural breaks, regions, age groups and etc. The use of the binary dummy variables is not reasonable because the effect of an event decreases (increases) gradually over time not at once. The simple and basic idea in this paper i...

Some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slowdissolution rate in biological fluids. Stiripentol (STP) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that isstructurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. It has poor aqueous solubilityand its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. Polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG-6000) iscommonly utilized as a hydrophilic...
