This paper addresses the problem of online quality prediction in processes with multiple operating modes. The paper proposes a new method called mixture of partial least squares regression (Mix-PLS), where the solution of the mixture of experts regression is performed using the partial least squares (PLS) algorithm. The PLS is used to tune the model experts and the gate parameters. The solution...

yoghurt is a unique fermented dairy product, consumed throughout the world and the trend ofconsumption is increasing due to its unique health benefits. yoghurt mix is often supplemented with msnf(milk solids-non-fat), it may contain as much as 5.7% unhydrolysed lactose. lactose can be hydrolysed withan enzyme lactase. deficiency of lactase in lactose-intolerant persons leads to gastrointestinal...

Introduction: Increasing pressure on available funds in health care section especially hospitals, enhances the need of analyzing different strategies in economic terms. One of the solutions for the optimal use of financial resources and potentials in hospitals and health care centers is using elements of the marketing mix. In this way we could make the best use of the resources...

System BV is an extension of multiplicative linear logic (MLL) with the rules mix, nullary mix, and a self-dual, non-commutative logical operator, called seq. While the rulesmix and nullary mix extend the deductive system, the operator seq extends the language of MLL. Due to the operator seq, system BV extends the applications of MLL to those where sequential composition is crucial, e.g., concu...

The strength of concrete is a function of the proportions of the constituent materials, namely, cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates. The conventional methods used to determine the mix proportions that will yield the desired strength, are laborious, time consuming and expensive. In this paper, a mathematical method based on modified regression theory is formulated for the prediction of con...

We present a previously unknown vulnerability of mix networks (mix nets) that use pseudorandom permutations and that are audited with randomized partial checking (RPC). Our method relies on two simple observations: A mix that generates pseudorandom permutations only generates a limited subset of all possible permutations; in practical cases, RPC exposes enough information to uniquely identify t...

Two primary goals of a research field are (i) communicate and preserve knowledge, and (ii) build and maintain a professional community. A range of tools are at its disposal: books, journals, newsletters, lectures, exhibitions, person-to-person communication, magazine and newspaper articles, workshops, and conferences. Each field is marked by a distinct mix and weighting of these venues. To show...
