To accurately estimate the state of charge of a lithium-ion battery pack used in electric vehicles, a neurofuzzy system is proposed. The subtractive clustering is used to determine the structure and the initial parameters of the neuro-fuzzy system to reduce heuristic errors. The algorithm of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference (ANFIS) is adopted to optimize the parameters of the neuro-fuzzy system. ...

Cortical function is regulated by a strikingly diverse array of local-circuit inhibitory neurons. We evaluated how optogenetically activating somatostatin- and parvalbumin-positive interneurons subtractively or divisively suppressed auditory cortical cells' responses to tones. In both awake and anesthetized animals, we found that activating either family of interneurons produced mixtures of div...

In IaaS (infrastructure as a service) cloud environment, users are provisioned with virtual machines (VMs). To allocate resources for users dynamically and effectively, accurate resource demands predicting is essential. For this purpose, this paper proposes a self-adaptive prediction method using ensemble model and subtractive-fuzzy clustering based fuzzy neural network (ESFCFNN). We analyze th...

In order to test between subtractive and ratio theories of stimulus comparison, judges were asked to estimate "ratios" and "differences" of easterliness and westerliness of U.S. cities. "Difference" judgments fit the subtractive model, and "ratio" judgments fit the ratio model. However, "ratios" and "differences" were monotonically related, contrary to the theory that judges compute both relati...
