In this paperwe adapt thewell-knownBrzozowskideterminizationmethod to fuzzy automata. Thismethod gives better results than all previously knownmethods for determinization of fuzzy automata developed by Bělohlávek [InformSciences 143 (2002)205–209],Li andPedrycz [FuzzySet Syst 156 (2005)68–92], Ignjatović et al. [Inform Sciences 178 (2008) 164–180], and Jančić et al. [Inform Sciences 181 (2011) ...

Derelict fishing gear persists for decades and impacts marine species and underwater habitats. Agencies and organizations are removing significant amounts of derelict gear from marine waters in the United States. Using data collected from repeated survey dives on derelict gillnets in Puget Sound, Washington, we estimated the daily catch rate of a given derelict gillnet, and developed a model to...

Speed and trend in the software evolution demand the more flexible and available software. For the large-scale software, the availability and automation of current software online upgrade approach is not ideal, which brings the managers much work to maintain all the versions of software. In this paper, we introduce the versioning-based software online upgrade framework (VSOUF) over BitTorrent-l...

In this paper we describe an implementation of a software transactional memory system that is capable of exploiting an increase in parallelism to improve performance. We demonstrate the improvements in performance via benchmarking our system against a standard STM. For the first time we show that parallelism can be exploited to offset an increase in contention. This provides a system where the ...

2014 The paper presents the first demonstration of a new method of forming photovoltaic p-n junction in silicon by the « Pulse Implantation Doping (PID) » technique. In this technique, an intense ion pulse provides both the dose necessary for doping and the portion of energy required to recrystallize a damage-free, doped surface layer. The ion beam pulses within the range of one microsecond and...

In this paper we combine determinization and state reduction methods into two-in-one algorithms that simultaneously perform determinization and state reduction. These algorithms perform better than all previous determinization algorithms for fuzzy finite automata, developed by Bělohlávek [Inform Sciences 143 (2002) 205–209], Li and Pedrycz [Fuzzy Set Syst 156 (2005) 68–92], Ignjatović et al. [I...

In the ̄occulus of pigeons, as in other species, there are two major types of Purkinje cell responses to rotational optokinetic stimuli. One type prefers rotation about the vertical axis (VA neurons) whereas the other prefers rotation about an horizontal axis oriented at 1358 ipsilateral azimuth (H-135 neurons). In this study, we injected the retrograde tracer cholera toxin subunit B into the V...
