A Probability-based Evolutionary Algorithm with Mutations to Learn Bayesian Networks

Bayesian networks are regarded as one of the essential tools to analyze causal relationship between events from data. To learn the structure of highly-reliable Bayesian networks from data as quickly as possible is one of the important problems that several studies have been tried to achieve. In recent years, probability-based evolutionary algorithms have been proposed as a new efficient approach to learn Bayesian networks. In this paper, we target on one of the probability-based evolutionary algorithms called PBIL (Probability-Based Incremental Learning), and propose a new mutation operator. Through performance evaluation, we found that the proposed mutation operator has a good performance in learning Bayesian networks

The Dual Meissner Effect and Magnetic Displacement Currents

The dual Meissner effect is observed without monopoles in quenched $SU (2)$ QCD with Landau gauge-fixing. Magnetic displacement currents which are time-dependent Abelian magnetic fields play a role of solenoidal currents squeezing Abelian electric fields. Monopoles are not always necessary to the dual Meissner effect. The squeezing of the electric flux means the dual London equation and the massiveness of the Abelian electric fields as an asymptotic field. The mass generation of the Abelian electric fields is related to a gluon condensate $\neq 0$ of mass dimension 2.Comment: 4 pages, 5 Postscript figures, title modified, some references added, minor changes made ; Accepted for publication in Phys.Rev.Let

STABILITY CRITERIA FOR THE SYSTEM OF DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic stability for the system of linear delay differential equations. Because of the complicated interactions induced by the delay effects of the system, there are few results of the asymptotic stability for the system of the delay differential equations with multiple delays. Given this fact, we propose the new stability conditions for the system and apply these conditions to some mathematical models for the population dynamics and neural network system described by the system of delay differential equations

Analysis of the regional anatomy of the retroesophageal right subclavian artery and surrounding structures

The retroesophageal right subclavian artery (RRSA) is a congenital anomalous branching of the arch of the aorta. Because its incidence is very low, it has not been fully understood how the RRSA develops during embryogenesis, and thus accumulation of observed findings in newly found cases is important to elucidate the etiology of the RRSA. We encountered a case of the RRSA during the course of gross anatomy dissection for medical students. The main findings in the present observations are that (a) the RRSA arose from the right side wall of the arch of the aorta as its last branch; (b) the detected RRSA was directed to the right and upward between the esophagus and vertebral column; (c) the right vertebral artery branched from the RRSA and entered the sixth cervical foramen transversarium; (d) the suprema intercostal artery branched from the costocervical trunk on both sides and its distal branches were distributed to the first and second intercostal spaces; and (e) both sides of bronchial arteries originated from the thoracic aorta. The present study gives further information about the morphological details of the RRSA leading to better understanding of its developmental process.

A Case of Giant Cystic Lymphangioma of the Retroperitoneal Origin.

A case of cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneal region was presented.Giant cystic mass,which was found in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen,exhibited particular roentogenologic signs simulating a large cyst arising from the tail of the pancreas,and was subsequently diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma upon histological examination.Presence of another congenital anomaly,duplication of the left renal pelvis and ureter,seemed to favour the embryonal theory for the causation of retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma

Experiments on meteor burst communications in the Antarctic

Two kinds of experiments on the meteor burst communication(MBC) are now being conducted in the Antarctic to study the ability of MBC as a communication medium for data collection systems in that region. In the first one, continuous tone signal is transmitted from Zhongshan Station. The received signal at Syowa Station about 1400km apart is recorded and analyzed. This experiment is to study basic properties of the meteor burst channel in that high latitude region. From the data available thus far, we can see that 1) the sinusoidal daily variation in the meteor activity typical in mid and low latitude regions can not be clearly seen, 2) non-meteoric propagations frequently dominate the channel, etc. On the other hand, the second experiment is to estimate data throughput of a commercial MBC system in that region. A remote station at Zhongshan Station tries to transfer data packets each consists of 10 data words to the master station at Syowa Station. Data packets are generated with five min interval. We are now operating the system only five min in each ten min interval. About 60% of the generated data packets are constantly transferred to the master station within two hours delay
