This research focuses on the use of adaptive artificial neural network system for evaluating the skid resistance value (British Pendulum Number; BPN) of the glass fiber-reinforced tiling materials.During Tree Pruners the creation of the neural model, four main factors were considered: fiber, calcium carbonate content, sand blasting, and polishing p
Stochastic heat engines beyond a unique definition of temperature
When Carnot and Stirling initially conceptualized heat engines, temperature unambiguously represented our everyday perception of cold and hot.However, as this energy scale is expanded to measure the strength of noise in general nonequilibrium heat baths, such as those consisting of bacteria or active particles, it takes on different definitions and
Structural Classification of Marshes with Polarimetric SAR Highlighting the Temporal Mapping of Marshes Exposed to Oil
Pet Food Empirical relationships between field-derived Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Leaf Angle Distribution (LAD) and polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) based biophysical indicators were created and applied to map S.alterniflora marsh canopy structure.PolSAR and field data were collected near concurrently in the summers of 2010, 2011, and
Multifocal versus monofocal intraocular lenses after cataract extraction
BACKGROUND: Good unaided distance visual acuity is now a realistic expectation following cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Near vision, however, still requires additional refractive power, usually in the form of reading glasses.Multiple optic (multifocal) IOLs are available which claim to allow good vision at a range of dista
The Ontologies of Science and Religion
Preview: Science and religion are complex cultural phenomena, which bear on our understanding of the world, life, consciousness, agency, morality, as well as all other fundamental issues human beings puzzle over.There exists a longstanding question about whether science and religion, and the responses they offer to these issues, are complementary o
