Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classiication tasks. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of problems especially when dealing with numerical (continuous-valued) attributes. Some of those problems can be solved using fuzzy decision trees (FDT). This paper proposes a method for handling continuous-valued attributes with automatically generated (as opposed to user deened) ...

ten known cynipid inquiline species associated with oak cynipid galls (hymenoptera, cynipidae: synergini and cynipini), their distribution and host associations are given for the first time for the iranian cynipid fauna: ceroptres cerri mayr, c. clavicornis hartig, saphonecrus haimi (mayr), synergus gallaepomiformis (b. de fonsc), s. pallidipennis mayr, s. pallipes hartig, s. reinhardi mayr, s....

the high molecular weight glutenin subunit (hmw-gs) compositions of 19 diploid wild wheat (t.boeoticum) and 36 diploid wild wheat (a.tauschii) were determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page). all of t. boeoticum were characterized for their hmw-gs, showed 2* in their glu-a1 locus. in the study of aegilops tauschii that were collected from iran and 7 neig...

This paper proposes a simple, accurate, and robust approach to single image nonparametric blind Super-Resolution (SR). This task is formulated as a functional to be minimized with respect to both an intermediate super-resolved image and a nonparametric blur-kernel. The proposed approach includes a convolution consistency constraint which uses a non-blind learning-based SR result to better guide...

When the transition of operational activities is framed not as an instantaneous optimization problem but rather a series of incremental opportunistic choices formal continuous improvement (CI) capabilities prove useful. However, despite the well documented advantages of CI management, implementation failures are discouragingly high (Jazayeri and Hopper, 1999). In the quality literature the most...

Reperfusion of ischemic tissue results in the generation of reactive oxygen species that contribute to tissue injury. The sources of reactive oxygen species in reperfused tissue are not fully characterized. We hypothesized that the small GTPase Rac1 mediates the oxidative burst in reperfused tissue and thereby contributes to reperfusion injury. In an in vivo model of mouse hepatic ischemia/repe...

This paper looks at factors affecting student satisfaction with and perceived learning from asynchronous online learning. It reports on an empirical investigation that explored relationships between student perceptions and course design factors in seventythree SUNY Learning Network courses in the spring, 1999 semester. The study found that three, and only three, general factors – clarity of des...
