Approximation der optimalen Vorhersage der Ausgabe stochastischer Quellen

This paper discusses the prediction of the output of a stochastic sourceQ having positive transition function. If the sourceQ has two output alphabets,X andY, then there exists such a stochastic automaton \(\mathfrak{A}(V_{opt} )\) with input alphabetX, output alphabetY, and a countable set of states, that realizes the optimal predictionV _opt fromX toY. Here it will be shown thatV _opt can be approximated with any precision by a predictionV which is realized by a stochastic automaton with finite set of states.     

Generalized Adjusted Rand Indices for cluster ensembles

In this paper, Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) is generalized to two new measures based on matrix comparison: (i) Adjusted Rand Index between a similarity matrix and a cluster partition (ARImp), to evaluate the consistency of a set of clustering solutions with their corresponding consensus matrix in a cluster ensemble, and (ii) Adjusted Rand Index between similarity matrices (ARImm), to evaluate the consistency between two similarity matrices. Desirable properties of ARI are preserved in the two new measures, and new properties are discussed. These properties include: (i) detection of uncorrelatedness; (ii) computation of ARImp/ARImm in a distributed environment; and (iii) characterization of the degree of uncertainty of a consensus matrix. All of these properties are investigated from both the perspectives of theoretical analysis and experimental validation. We have also performed a number of experiments to show the usefulness and effectiveness of the two proposed measures in practical applications.     

Identification of Breast Cancer Prognosis Markers via Integrative Analysis

In breast cancer research, it is of great interest to identify genomic markers associated with prognosis. Multiple gene profiling studies have been conducted for such a purpose. Genomic markers identified from the analysis of single datasets often do not have satisfactory reproducibility. Among the multiple possible reasons, the most important one is the small sample sizes of individual studies. A cost-effective solution is to pool data from multiple comparable studies and conduct integrative analysis. In this study, we collect four breast cancer prognosis studies with gene expression measurements. We describe the relationship between prognosis and gene expressions using the accelerated failure time (AFT) models. We adopt a 2-norm group bridge penalization approach for marker identification. This integrative analysis approach can effectively identify markers with consistent effects across multiple datasets and naturally accommodate the heterogeneity among studies. Statistical and simulation studies demonstrate satisfactory performance of this approach. Breast cancer prognosis markers identified using this approach have sound biological implications and satisfactory prediction performance.     

Fabrication of a high aspect ratio nanoporous array on silicon

In this study, a simple method for the fabrication of high aspect ratio silicon nanoporous arrays is developed. A N-type silicon wafer is used as the substrate material. A micro-scale pattern of the desired porous array is transferred to the front surface of the silicon wafer by photolithography after which the wafer is placed in a home-made fixture to efficiently expel the etching generated air and promptly hold the back-side illumination light. A halogen lamp is used as the light source for backside illumination to enhance the electron–hole pair generation. An anodization process is then carried out using a new etchant consisting of hydrofluoric acid and mixed EtOH and EMSO surfactant to effectively polish the pore surfaces and sharpen the tips of the etched pores. A nanochannel array with a nano-tip of 61.4?nm is obtained.

Determining the number of new employees with learning, forgetting and variable wage with a Newsvendor model in pull systems

This paper develops a new quantitative model to find the optimal number of new employees with a Newsvendor model in a pull production system. This model allows learning, forgetting and variable wage. This paper also provides numerical results on sensitivity analysis, and compares the numerical results in three different situations: the situation with both learning and forgetting effect, that with learning effect but without forgetting effect and the situation with neither learning nor forgetting effect. The conclusions drawn from the comparison may offer theoretical insight for human resource managers to make appropriate employment decisions.

Experimente zum Strömungswiderstand in gekrümmten,rotierenden Kanälen mit quadratischem Querschnitt

Zusammenfassung Bei ausgebildeter Strömung wurde der Druckverlust in rotierenden, gekrümmten Kanalstrecken experimentell ermittelt. Speziell interssierte der Einfluß der Krümmung auf den Reibungswiderstand und im besonderen der der Rotation, die sowohl in Richtung der Durchflußgeschwindigkeit als auch entgegengesetzt dazu erfolgte. Die strömungsspezifischen Parameter wie Reynolds-und Taylor-Zahl erfuhren eine Änderung im Bereich 3·10²<Re<2·10⁵ und 0Ta<10⁵. Das Krümmungsverhältnis variierte zwischen 0,0496a/r _m 0,337. Aufgezeigt wird die Möglichkeit einer universellen Darstellung des Widerstandsbeiwertes für den nicht rotierenden Kanal bei einerseits laminarer und anderseits bei turbulenter Bewegung. Im rotierenden Kanal beobachtet man beträchtliche Druckverlusterhöhungen, deren Größe von der Rotationsrichtung abhängt. Bei großen Taylor-Zahlen wurde eine Unabhängigkeit des Strömungswiderstandes vom Krümmungsverhältnis festgestellt.

Experimental investigations on the friction resistance in rotating curved channels with square cross-section

Summary For fully developed flow the pressure loss in rotating curved channels was investigated experimentally. The influence of the curvature on the friction coefficient and particularly on the rotation, which was realized in the direction of the through flow as well as in the opposite direction was of special interest. The specific parameters of the flow field, like the Reynolds-number and the Taylor-number were varied within the range of 3·10²<Re<2·10⁵ and 0Ta<10⁵. The curvature ratio were varied within 0,0496a/r _m 0,337. The possibility of an universal presentation of the friction coefficient for the nonrotating channel is shown for laminar and turbulent through flow. In the rotating channel a considerable pressure loss increase can be observed. The magnitude depends on the direction of rotation. In case of great Taylor-numbers the curvature ratio was found to be independent of the friction resistance.

Preparation of BaTiO3-Based Nonreducible X7R Dielectric Materials Via Nanometer Powders Doping

Nonreducible X7R dielectric materials, which can be cofired with Ni electrode, were obtained by doping nanometer additives to BaTiO₃ powders synthesized by employing a sol-gel method. The crystallization process, structure and constituent of nanometer additives, as well as morphologies were studied via differential thermal and thermogravimetric analyses (DTA/TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of the calcining temperature of dopants on the dielectric properties were also discussed. The experiment results proved that higher-performance X7R dielectric materials could be obtained via nanometer doping compared with conventional doping. At room temperature, dielectric constant is more than 3000; dielectric loss lower than 1.0% and insulation resistance more than 10¹¹Ω ⋅cm.
