High Input Impedance Voltage-Mode Universal Biquadratic Filters With Three Inputs Using Three CCs and Grounding Capacitors

Two current conveyors (CCs) based high input impedance voltage-mode universal biquadratic filters each with three input terminals and one output terminal are presented. The first circuit is composed of three differential voltage current conveyors (DVCCs), two grounded capacitors and four resistors. The second circuit is composed of two DVCCs, one differential difference current conveyor (DDCC), two grounded capacitors and four grounded resistors. The proposed circuits can realize all the standard filter functions, namely, lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch and allpass filters by the selections of different input voltage terminals. The proposed circuits offer the features of high input impedance, using only grounded capacitors and low active and passive sensitivities. Moreover, the x ports of the DVCCs (or DDCC) in the proposed circuits are connected directly to resistors. This design offers the feature of a direct incorporation of the parasitic resistance at the x terminal of the DVCC (DDCC), Rx, as a part of the main resistance

Oribatid mites (Acarina, Oribatida) from French Guyana II. Two new species from superfamily Crotonioidea Thorell, 1876

International audienceTwo new species from the superfamily Crotonioidea, Malaconothrus kawensis n. sp. and Cyrthermannia bifurcata n. sp., found in material colected in Kaw mountains (Montagne de Kaw), and near the Saül, French Guyana, are described. The relationships of both new species within respective genera are analysed, and determination keys are provided for all South-American and other closely related Malaconothrus species and for all known Cyrthermannia species. Cyrthermannia formosana Tseng, 1982 is newly recombined as Nanhermannia (Nippohermannia) formosana (Tseng, 1982) n. comb., following analysis of morphological characters

RANCANGAN MODEL KONSEPTUAL KRITERIA PEMILIHAN SUSTAINABLE SUPPLIER UNTUK MENDUKUNG SUSTAINANBLE SUPPLY CHAINMANAGEMENT

Abstrak: Beberapa tahun ini ketertarikan para peneliti maupun pengusaha terhadap isu-isu sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) terus meningkat (Kumar dkk., 2014;Azadi dkk., 2014; Liou dkk., 2013; Amindoust dkk., 2012; Adzania dkk., 2012; Buyukozkan dan Cifci 2010; Bai dan Sarkis, 2010; Tseng, 2008).Salah satu kunci dalam sustainable supply chain adalah proses pemilihan/seleksi supplier (Kumar dkk., 2014;Azadi dkk., 2014; Liou dkk., 2013; Amindoust dkk., 2012; Adzania dkk., 2012; Buyukozkan dan Cifci, 2010; Bai dan Sarkis, 2010).Keputusan mengenai seleksi supplier merupakan strategi penting untuk perusahaan.Pemilihan supplier yang tepat untuk menjadisustainable supplier memerlukan kriteria evaluasi/atribut, yang ditandai dengan kompleksitas dan ketidakpastian (Tseng, 2008). Oleh karena itu sangat penting menentukan kriteria yang tepat dalam memilih sustainable supplier yang akan mendukung Sustainable Supply Chain Management.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis with left renal vein thrombosis-case report successfully treated by conservative methods

Presently emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare but life-threatening disease, mostly seen in patients with urinary tract obstr uc- tion and diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by the production of gas and necrosis in the renal parenchyma, collecting systems, and perinephritic tissue. Radiologically, the Huang and Tseng classification is used to categorize the severity of the disease. Our case was 49 years old female pre- senting with unconsciousness, fever and bilateral Grade 3 lower extremity eodema one week after left percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure because of urinary tract stone. Abdominal computerized tomography scan showed renal parenchymal and perinephritic tissue necrosis with the production of gas and renal vein thrombosis which was in accordance with Huang and Tseng classification Grade 3A. We treated our patient with the appropriate antibiotic, enoxaparin sodium, strict glycemic control, and supportive treatment without any surgical intervention or nephrectomy

Interval type-2 fuzzy automata and Interval type-2 fuzzy grammar

The purpose of the present work is to introduce and study the concept of interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy grammar which recognizes the given IT2 fuzzy languages. The relationship between IT2 fuzzy automata and IT2 fuzzy (weak) regular grammars is discussed. Specifically, the results we obtained here are (i ) IT2 fuzzy weak regular grammar and IT2 fuzzy regular grammar generate the same classes of IT2 fuzzy languages (ii ) for a given IT2 fuzzy regular grammars, there exists an IT2 fuzzy automata such that they accept the same IT2 fuzzy languages, and vice versa. In addition, we define some operations on IT2 fuzzy languages and it is shown that IT2 fuzzy languages recognized by IT2 fuzzy automata are closed under the operations of union, intersection, concatenation and Kleene closure, but are not closed under complement

Supervised and Unsupervised Transfer Learning for Question Answering

Although transfer learning has been shown to be successful for tasks like object and speech recognition, its applicability to question answering (QA) has yet to be well-studied. In this paper, we conduct extensive experiments to investigate the transferability of knowledge learned from a source QA dataset to a target dataset using two QA models. The performance of both models on a TOEFL listening comprehension test (Tseng et al., 2016) and MCTest (Richardson et al., 2013) is significantly improved via a simple transfer learning technique from MovieQA (Tapaswi et al., 2016). In particular, one of the models achieves the state-of-the-art on all target datasets; for the TOEFL listening comprehension test, it outperforms the previous best model by 7%. Finally, we show that transfer learning is helpful even in unsupervised scenarios when correct answers for target QA dataset examples are not available.Comment: To appear in NAACL HLT 2018 (long paper
