基于FRS与GA-ELM的煤与瓦斯突出预测研究

针对煤与瓦斯突出发生内在机理复杂性、致突因素与突出事件之间模糊性导致预测精度不高这一问题,提出将模糊粗糙集理论（FRS）结合改进的极端学习机（ELM）进行煤与瓦斯突出预测。通过FRS信息约简理论降低致突因素原始数据属性维度,提取出致突辅助因素,与主要因素共同作为ELM网络神经元输入,利用遗传算法（GA）对极端学习机网络输入权值、隐含层阈值进行优化,建立GA-ELM预测模型,模型输出为煤与瓦斯突出强度预测结果。经过模型训练和试验验证,该模型泛化能力强、预测精度高、收敛速度明显加快。

论《简·爱》中“火”的意象

《简·爱》自问世以来吸引了无数的读者。在这部小说中,火在不同的章节中以不同形式多次出现,给这部小说增添了无穷的魅力。火是温暖、幸福的象征,是仁爱、友谊的象征,它是与生命力相联系的。火也是欲求的象征、是考验爱情之火。它同时也代表着截然相反的意象,它代表着反叛的性格,又具有可怕的毁灭性。     

Jane Loevinger (1918-2008).

Jane Loevinger died unexpectedly on January 4, 2008. She was well-known for her work in psychometrics, her theory of ego development, and her widely used assessment instrument, the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Among the first to focus on women as a demographic, Loevinger obtained funding from the National Institute of Mental Health. She developed measures of women's attitudes and formed a research group of her own that focused on the problems facing mothers and women in general. Loevinger was a perennial iconoclast and skeptic within her fields of interest. Despite her wry wit, or perhaps because of it, her opinions and contributions came to be greatly valued by her colleagues. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

The Global Architectural Influences on London

London today has become ‘a laboratory and testing ground’ for neoliberal capitalism, attracting investment from the Middle East, Russia, India, the Far East and Australasia as well as the US.
