A Massive Image Recognition Algorithm Based on Attribute Modelling and Knowledge Acquisition by Guohua Li, An Liu, Huajie Shen

“…For the complexity of association relationships between attributes of incomplete data, a single-output subnetwork modelling method for incomplete data is proposed to build a neural network model with each missing attribute as output alone and other attributes as input in turn, and the network structure can deeply portray the association relationships between each attribute and other attributes. …”

Model of microwave radiation absorption by biological tissues by I. A. Lagutskiy, M. V. Davydov, V. V. Kizimenko, V. A. Bogush

“…In the range of 2.5–3 GHz both in the near and far fields practically linear decrease of absorption value is observed. When analyzing the influence of structures' sizes on electromagnetic energy absorption in biological tissues, it was found that the nature of change in absorption value is a nonlinear value. …”

NONLINEARITIES AND FRACTAL PROPERTIES OF THE EUROPEAN-MEDITERRANEAN SEISMOTECTONIC MODEL by Boyko K. Ranguelov

“…This paper presents research results of the study which aim is to reveal and quantitatively describe fractal properties of the European-Mediterranean seismotectonic model applied for seismic hazard assessment of the region under study.Several seismotectonic provinces are defined, and their nonlinear properties are calculated using both linear elements (boundaries of seismogenic units) and surface areas of the seismogenic units.The research is conducted on the basis of only formal relationships, not with data on real fault structures or other seismogenic elements, as the relationships have been accepted for seismic hazard calculations by the team of SESAME Project (Project Leader M. …”
