We have shown that duct modeling using the generalized RBF neural network (DM RBF), which has the capability of modeling the nonlinear behavior, can suppress a variable-frequency narrow band noise of a duct more efficiently than an FX-LMS algorithm. In our method (DM RBF), at first the duct is identified using a generalized RBF network, after that N stage of time delay of the input signal to th...

In an RBF implementation of the Bayesian equalizer the RBF centers are placed at equ...

Fiji’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) since its inception in 1983, has been pursuing monetary policy with the mandated objectives of economic growth with price stability and an adequate level of exchange reserves. In 1988, as part of financial sector reforms, RBF discontinued the use of direct instruments and switched on to employment of indirect instruments for influencing intere...

Renal blood flow (RBF) can be reduced in rats and rabbits by up to 40% without significant changes in renal tissue Po(2). We determined whether this occurs because renal oxygen consumption changes with RBF or due to some other mechanism. The relationships between RBF and renal cortical and medullary tissue P(O(2)) and renal oxygen metabolism were determined in the denervated kidneys of anesthet...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal blood flow (RBF) are normally kept constant via renal autoregulation. However, early diabetes results in increased GFR and the potential mechanisms are debated. Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) inactivation, with concomitantly increased RBF, is proposed but challenged by the finding of glomerular hyperfiltration in diabetic adenosine A(1) receptor-defic...

Both Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis are capable of forming biofilm on biomaterials. We used Tn917 mutagenesis to identify a gene, rbf, affecting biofilm formation in S. aureus NCTC8325-4. Sequencing revealed that Rbf contained a consensus region signature of the AraC/XylS family of regulators, suggesting that Rbf is a transcriptional regulator. Insertional duplication inactivation of ...

In this paper, Radial Basis Function (RBF) method for interpolating two dimensional functions with localized features defined on irregular domain is presented. RBF points located inside the domain and on its boundary are chosen such that they are the image of conformally mapped points on concentric circles on a unit disk. On the disk, a fast RBF solver to compute RBF coefficients developed by K...

The morphology of Ganoderma lucidum BCCM 31549 mycelium in a repeated-batch fermentation (RBF) was studied for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. RBF was optimised for time to replace and volume to replace. G. lucidum mycelium showed the ability to self-immobilise and exhibited high stability for repeated use in RBF with engulfed pellets. Furthermore, the ovoid and starburst-like pellet morpho...
