There’s plenty of room at the bottom was the title of the lecture given by Richard Feynman to introduce the concept of Nanotechnology to the world [1]. Over the last five decades, significant progress has been made in the understanding of materials at the nano scale level. There have been many developments and improvements in formulation of drugs, however; the delivery of drugs in the required ...

Willl/E preparing a list of remedies alleged to be useful in the treatment of seminal discharges and impotence, I found Gokhru described in Vaidak and Hekmat works as possessed of very important attributes. Thus, when speaking of the juice of the fresh leaves and stalks, the author of " Maklizun-ulAdviat" states that " it augments the quantity of semen and removes weakness of the generative org...

Classically, unsupervised machine learning techniques are applied on data sets with fixed number of attributes (variables). However, many problems encountered in the field of informetrics face us with the need to extend these kinds of methods in a way such that they may be computed over a set of nonincreasingly ordered vectors of unequal lengths. Thus, in this paper, some new dissimilarity meas...

A hyper-heuristic for the one dimensional bin packing problem is presented that uses an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to evolve a set of attributes that characterise a problem instance. The EA evolves divisions of variable quantity and dimension that represent ranges of a bin’s capacity and are used to train a k-nearest neighbour algorithm. Once trained the classifier selects a single determinist...

For an incomplete information system, attribute reduction is an important problem. To dealing with it, this paper proposed a new attribute reduction method based on information quantity. On one hand, this approach improved traditional tolerance relationship calculation methods using an extension of tolerance relationship in rough set theory. On the other hand, a new method was present for calcu...

Multiple-target tracking (MTT) is a prerequisite step for radar surveillance systems. Data association is the key technique used in radar MTT systems. This paper presents a new approach for data association that uses both quantity data and image information. In order to combine these two attributes, a fusion algorithm based on the competitive Hopfield neural network (CHNN) is developed to match...

Recent theory and experimental work in metapopulations and metacommunities demonstrates that long-term persistence is maximized when the rate at which individuals disperse among patches within the system is intermediate; if too low, local extinctions are more frequent than recolonizations, increasing the chance of regional-scale extinctions, and if too high, dynamics exhibit region-wide synchro...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between local government services and the overall satisfaction of users with the e–recruitment website (e–job website) in Taiwan. A two–dimensional mean value matrix (TDMVM) technique was used to explore the identification, classification, and application of website service quality. The results show that the asymmetrical relationship betw...

The investment decision-maker in oil exploration projects faces overlap the main criteria, sub-criteria, and attributes of reasons that control decision, which requires a mechanism identifies measures risks terms quantity quality for all alternatives under study. Having deals with such cases will help choose best alternative by measuring giving solution. objective this study is to transfer unce...
