Neutrosophic soft sets forecasting model for multi-attribute time series
Traditional time series forecasting models mainly assume a clear and definite functional relationship between historical values and current/future values of a dataset. In this paper, we extended current model by generating multi-attribute forecasting rules based on consideration of combining multiple related variables. In this model, neutrosophic soft sets (NSSs) are employed to represent historical statues of several closely related attributes in stock market such as volumes, stock market index and daily amplitudes
Effects of Inoculants (Chlorobium limicola and Rhodopseudo-monas palustris) on Nutrient Uptake and Growth in Cucumber
Rhizobacteria is a prosperous for promoting plant growth for the superiority of reducing environmental damages. Two Strains of Chlorobium limicola and Rhodopseudomonas palustris were supplied in the experiment as potential inoculants for cucumber. Significant enhancement of the availability of macronutrient elements N, P and K were observed in soil, and further improvement on the uptake of them was also obtained in cucumber plants. Accumulation of essential micronutrients of Fe and Zn were detected both in roots and in shoots. The two stains increased chlorophyll and carotinoid synthesis, plant height, stem diameter, wet weight and dry weight. Various dose has significantly effect on plant growth stimulation, C. Limicola with 107 cells mL-1 and R. Palustris with 108 cells mL-1 seem to be better on the whole
Stability analysis and H ∞ control for hybrid complex dynamical networks with coupling delays
This paper formulates and studies a model of complex dynamical networks with switching topology and coupling delays. Based on the hybrid control and Lyapunov function, the stability and robust H control of such networks with impulsive and switching effects, which have not been studied before, are addressed with some criteria derived. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Stability of internet-based control systems with uncertainties and multiple time-varying delays
In this paper, based on remote control and local
control strategy, a class of hybrid multi-rate control models
with uncertainties and multiple time-varying delays is formulated
and their robust stability properties are investigated. By
Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions and apply it to a descriptor
model transformation, some new criteria of robust stability for
such Internet-based control systems are established. Numerical
example and simulation are given to illustrate the effectiveness
of the theoretical results
Chinese Culture and Modern Life—On the Theory of Resources and Basic Context of Chinese Cultural Soft Power to Enhance
To enhance the soft power of Chinese culture, an important issue is to analyze and clean up the theory of cultural soft power resources and the Current Context. Cultural soft power to enhance the theoretical resources that is Chinese traditional culture, Context that enhance cultural soft power is the modern life. But, traditional culture is not a dead, past existence, but a process of constant development; the modern life is not the life style and the thinking mode which the West leads; traditional culture is a national, special, modern life is also diverse, optional.Key words: Soft power; Tradition; Traditional culture; Modern lif
1-(1,3-BenzothiaÂzol-2-yl)-3-phenyl-2-pyrazoline
In the title compound, C16H13N3S, the pyrazoline ring forms dihedral angles of 6.89 (14) and 4.96 (11)° with the benzene ring and the benzothiaÂzole group, respectively. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯N interÂactions link the molÂecules into chains extending along the b-axis direction
Case Report: A 65-year-old man with paraganglioma accompanied by elevated interleukin-6 levels and KIF1B single gene mutation
Paraganglioma is a less prevalent disease, and paraganglioma with only secreting interleukin-6 (IL-6) has not been previously reported. A 64-year-old male patient came to the hospital with the chief complaints of fever and palpitations. The peak body temperature was 38.7°C (101.66°F). Heart rate was 110 bpm, while blood pressure was in the normal range. Antibiotics and antiviral therapies were ineffective. The levels of blood IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), platelets (PLT), glutamyltransferase (GGT), fibrinogen, and D-dimer were all elevated. Infectious diseases, auto-immune diseases, and hematological malignancy were all excluded. Nearly 10 years ago, a large retroperitoneal mass of the patient was detected by accident. Fortunately, there have been no special symptoms for the past 10 years after regular follow-up. After admission this time, PET-CT was performed. A large confounding density mass at the upper part of the abdominal and retroperitoneal area was seen, and the possibility of paraganglioma was considered. However, biochemical assays for blood and urine catecholamine and their metabolites including adrenaline, norepinephrine, 3-methoxytyramine, methoxyepinephrine, methoxynorepinephrine, and vanillylmandelic acid were all in normal range in spite of mild elevated dopamine with no significance. The whole-exome capture and sequencing of the genomic DNA of the patient showed a heterozygous mutation in the coding site of KIF1B gene (Coding: NM_015047.3:c.4660G>C, Mutation: p.Val1554Leu; chromosomal location was chr1: 10428570). The mutation at this locus of KIF1B has not been reported previously. The patient refused the surgical treatment. Because the mass burdens several important organs including the pancreas, the risk of surgery was high. Doxazosin was then administered to the patient. After taking doxazosin, the symptoms disappeared rapidly. Body temperature returned to normal range in 3 days. Heart rate decreased to approximately 90 bpm. In the following days, the levels of IL-6, CPR, ALP, platelets, GGT fibrinogen, and D-dimer continued to decrease. After 63 days of taking doxazosin, IL-6 level was completely normal. After 190 days of medication, hemoglobin (Hb) and GGT levels also returned to the normal range. After 1 year onset, the patient again underwent a blood test. Almost all blood indexes were in the normal range including IL-6
