Fuzzy inference systems (FISs) are a predictive modeling technique based on fuzzy sets that utilize approximate reasoning to mimic the decision-making process of human experts. There are several expert- and data-driven methods for developing FISs, among which fuzzy clustering algorithms are the...

A general theory for target reproduction numbers with applications to ecology and epidemiology
Download2019-01-01
Mark A. Lewis, Zhisheng Shuai, P. van den Driessche
A general framework for threshold parameters in population dynamics is developed using the concept of target reproduction numbers. This framework identies reproduction numbers and other threshold parameters in the literature in terms of their roles in population control. The framework is applied...

Complex systems of moving and interacting objects are ubiquitous in the natural and social sciences. Predicting their behaviour often requires models that mimic these systems with sufficient accuracy, while accounting for their inherent stochasticity. Although tools exist to determine which of a...

A new class of discrete random fields designed for quick simulation and covariance inference under inhomogenous conditions is introduced and studied. Simulation of these correlated fields can be done in a single pass instead of relying on multi-pass convergent methods like the Gibbs Sampler or...

Canada has many isolated communities that are not connected to the electrical grid. Most of these communities meet their electricity demand through stand-alone diesel generators. Diesel generators have economic and environmental concerns that can be minimized by using hybrid renewable energy...

Accurate prediction of the number of daily or weekly confirmed cases of COVID-19 is critical to the control of the pandemic. Existing mechanistic models nicely capture the disease dynamics. However, to forecast the future, they require the transmission rate to be known, limiting their prediction...

A life cycle assessment of OME (oxymethylene ether) synthesis from biomass-derived syngas as a diesel additive
Download2017-01-01
Mahbub, Nafisa, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Kumar, Amit, Oestreich, Dorian, Arnold, Ulrich, Sauer, Jörg
The life cycle energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission performances of forest biomass-derived oxymethylene ether (OME) synthesis used as a diesel additive are analyzed in this study. OME, a new alternative liquid fuel, has great miscibility with conventional fuels like diesel. OME...

Airport passenger leakage is the phenomenon of air travelers foregoing their local airport to access large hub airports with better flight options and airfares. Interregional passenger leakage has not received extensive attention from the research community; this review was conducted in light of...

The human genome is susceptible to change; base mismatches can arise from damaged DNA, replication errors, and spontaneous mutation, and have the potential to cause apoptosis, carcinogenesis, and mutagenesis. Many techniques have been developed for DNA mismatch detection, but many of these...

Territorial behaviour is widespread in the animal kingdom, with creatures seeking to gain parts of space for their exclusive use. It arises through a complicated interplay of many different behavioural features. Extracting and quantifying the processes that give rise to territorial patterns...
