The document discusses using clustering models like subtractive fuzzy clustering (SFC) and fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) to generate an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for medical diagnoses. Experimental results on medical diagnosis datasets show that ANFIS models using SFC and FCM clustering (ANFIS-SFC and ANFIS-FCM) had better average training and checking errors compared to ANFIS without clustering. Specifically, ANFIS-SFC performed best using backpropagation learning, while ANFIS-FCM performed best using a hybrid learning model. Clustering the datasets without ANFIS was also able to identify different disease clusters.
A PSO-Based Subtractive Data Clustering AlgorithmIJORCS
There is a tremendous proliferation in the amount of information available on the largest shared information source, the World Wide Web. Fast and high-quality clustering algorithms play an important role in helping users to effectively navigate, summarize, and organize the information. Recent studies have shown that partitional clustering algorithms such as the k-means algorithm are the most popular algorithms for clustering large datasets. The major problem with partitional clustering algorithms is that they are sensitive to the selection of the initial partitions and are prone to premature converge to local optima. Subtractive clustering is a fast, one-pass algorithm for estimating the number of clusters and cluster centers for any given set of data. The cluster estimates can be used to initialize iterative optimization-based clustering methods and model identification methods. In this paper, we present a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization, Subtractive + (PSO) clustering algorithm that performs fast clustering. For comparison purpose, we applied the Subtractive + (PSO) clustering algorithm, PSO, and the Subtractive clustering algorithms on three different datasets. The results illustrate that the Subtractive + (PSO) clustering algorithm can generate the most compact clustering results as compared to other algorithms.
A Counterexample to the Forward Recursion in Fuzzy Critical Path Analysis Und...ijfls
Fuzzy logic is an alternate approach for quantifying uncertainty relating to activity duration. The fuzzy
version of the backward recursion has been shown to produce results that incorrectly amplify the level of
uncertainty. However, the fuzzy version of the forward recursion has been widely proposed as an
approach for determining the fuzzy set of critical path lengths. In this paper, the direct application of the
extension principle leads to a proposition that must be satisfied in fuzzy critical path analysis. Using a
counterexample it is demonstrated that the fuzzy forward recursion when discrete fuzzy sets are used to
represent activity durations produces results that are not consistent with the theory presented. The
problem is shown to be the application of the fuzzy maximum. Several methods presented in the literature
are described and shown to provide results that are consistent with the extension principle.
Multi objective predictive control a solution using metaheuristicsijcsit
The application of multi objective model predictive control approaches is significantly limited with
computation time associated with optimization algorithms. Metaheuristics are general purpose heuristics
that have been successfully used in solving difficult optimization problems in a reasonable computation
time. In this work , we use and compare two multi objective metaheuristics, Multi-Objective Particle
swarm Optimization, MOPSO, and Multi-Objective Gravitational Search Algorithm, MOGSA, to generate
a set of approximately Pareto-optimal solutions in a single run. Two examples are studied, a nonlinear
system consisting of two mobile robots tracking trajectories and avoiding obstacles and a linear multi
variable system. The computation times and the quality of the solution in terms of the smoothness of the
control signals and precision of tracking show that MOPSO can be an alternative for real time
applications.
Here, in this paper we are introducing a dynamic clustering algorithm using fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm. We will try to process several sets patterns together to find a common structure. The structure is finalized by interchanging prototypes of the given data and by moving the prototypes of the subsequent clusters toward each other. In regular FCM clustering algorithm, fixed numbers of clusters are chosen and those are pre-defined. If, in case, the number of chosen clusters is wrong, then the final result will degrade the purity of the cluster. In our proposed algorithm this drawback will be overcome by using dynamic clustering architecture. Here we will take fixed number of clusters in the beginning but on iterations the algorithm will increase the number of clusters automatically depending on the nature and type of data, which will increase the purity of the result at the end. A detailed clustering algorithm is developed on a basis of the standard FCM method and will be illustrated by means of numeric examples.

Improved probabilistic distance based locality preserving projections method ...IJECEIAES
In this paper, a dimensionality reduction is achieved in large datasets using the proposed distance based Non-integer Matrix Factorization (NMF) technique, which is intended to solve the data dimensionality problem. Here, NMF and distance measurement aim to resolve the non-orthogonality problem due to increased dataset dimensionality. It initially partitions the datasets, organizes them into a defined geometric structure and it avoids capturing the dataset structure through a distance based similarity measurement. The proposed method is designed to fit the dynamic datasets and it includes the intrinsic structure using data geometry. Therefore, the complexity of data is further avoided using an Improved Distance based Locality Preserving Projection. The proposed method is evaluated against existing methods in terms of accuracy, average accuracy, mutual information and average mutual information.
Kernal based speaker specific feature extraction and its applications in iTau...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Extraction and classification algorithms based on kernel nonlinear features are popular in the new direction of research in machine learning. This research paper considers their practical application in the iTaukei automatic speaker recognition system (ASR) for cross-language speech recognition. Second, nonlinear speaker-specific extraction methods such as kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), kernel independent component analysis (KICA), and kernel linear discriminant analysis (KLDA) are summarized. The conversion effects on subsequent classifications were tested in conjunction with Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) learning algorithms; in most cases, computations were found to have a beneficial effect on classification performance. Additionally, the best results were achieved by the Kernel linear discriminant analysis (KLDA) algorithm. The performance of the ASR system is evaluated for clear speech to a wide range of speech quality using ATR Japanese C language corpus and self-recorded iTaukei corpus. The ASR efficiency of KLDA, KICA, and KLDA technique for 6 sec of ATR Japanese C language corpus 99.7%, 99.6%, and 99.1% and equal error rate (EER) are 1.95%, 2.31%, and 3.41% respectively. The EER improvement of the KLDA technique-based ASR system compared with KICA and KPCA is 4.25% and 8.51% respectively.

LOGNORMAL ORDINARY KRIGING METAMODEL IN SIMULATION OPTIMIZATIONorajjournal
This paper presents a lognormal ordinary kriging (LOK) metamodel algorithm and its application to
optimize a stochastic simulation problem. Kriging models have been developed as an interpolation method

USE OF ADAPTIVE COLOURED PETRI NETWORK IN SUPPORT OF DECISIONMAKINGcsandit
This work presents the use of Adaptive Coloured Petri Net (ACPN) in support of decision
making. ACPN is an extension of the Coloured Petri Net (CPN) that allows you to change the
network topology. Usually, experts in a particular field can establish a set of rules for the
proper functioning of a business or even a manufacturing process. On the other hand, it is
possible that the same specialist has difficulty in incorporating this set of rules into a CPN that
describes and follows the operation of the enterprise and, at the same time, adheres to the rules
of good performance. To incorporate the rules of the expert into a CPN, the set of rules from the
IF - THEN format to the extended adaptive decision table format is transformed into a set of
rules that are dynamically incorporated to APN. The contribution of this paper is the use of
ACPN to establish a method that allows the use of proven procedures in one area of knowledge
(decision tables) in another area of knowledge (Petri nets and Workflows), making possible the
adaptation of techniques and paving the way for new kind of analysis.
This is a presentation that I gave to my research group. It is about probabilistic extensions to Principal Components Analysis, as proposed by Tipping and Bishop.

Black-box modeling of nonlinear system using evolutionary neural NARX modelIJECEIAES
Nonlinear systems with uncertainty and disturbance are very difficult to model using mathematic approach. Therefore, a black-box modeling approach without any prior knowledge is necessary. There are some modeling approaches have been used to develop a black box model such as fuzzy logic, neural network, and evolution algorithms. In this paper, an evolutionary neural network by combining a neural network and a modified differential evolution algorithm is applied to model a nonlinear system. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed modeling are tested on a piezoelectric actuator SISO system and an experimental quadruple tank MIMO system.
With the increase in Internet users the number of malicious users are also growing day-by-day posing a

The multimodel approach offers a very satisfactory results in modelling, diagnose and control of complex systems. In the modelling case, this approach passes by three steps: the determination of the model’s library, the validities computation and the establishment of the final model. In this context, this paper focuses on the elaboration of a comparative study between three recent methods of validities computation. Thus, it highlight the method that offers the best performances in term of precision. To achieve this goal, we apply, these three methods on two simulation examples in order to compare their performances.
The Positive Effects of Fuzzy C-Means Clustering on Supervised Learning Class...Waqas Tariq
Selection of inputs is one of the most substantial components of classification algorithms for data mining and pattern recognition problems since even the best classifier will perform badly if the inputs are not selected very well. Big data and computational complexity are main cause of bad performance and low accuracy for classical classifiers. In other words, the complexity of classifier method is inversely proportional with its classification efficiency. For this purpose, two hybrid classifiers have been developed by using both type-1 and type-2 fuzzy c-means clustering with cascaded a classifier. In this proposed classifier, a large number of data points are reduced by using fuzzy c-means clustering before applied to a classifier algorithm as inputs. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fuzzy clustering on well-known and useful classifiers such as artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM). Then the role of positive effects of these proposed algorithms were investigated on applied different data sets.

A Mathematical Programming Approach for Selection of Variables in Cluster Ana...IJRES Journal
Data clustering is a common technique for statistical data analysis; it is defined as a class of
statistical techniques for classifying a set of observations into completely different groups. Cluster analysis
seeks to minimize group variance and maximize between group variance. In this study we formulate a
mathematical programming model that chooses the most important variables in cluster analysis. A nonlinear
binary model is suggested to select the most important variables in clustering a set of data. The idea of the
suggested model depends on clustering data by minimizing the distance between observations within groups.
Indicator variables are used to select the most important variables in the cluster analysis.

A Mixed Binary-Real NSGA II Algorithm Ensuring Both Accuracy and Interpretabi...IJECEIAES
In this work, a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller network, called NFC that implements a Mamdani fuzzy inference system is proposed. This network includes neurons able to perform fundamental fuzzy operations. Connections between neurons are weighted through binary and real weights. Then a mixed binaryreal Non dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) is used to perform both accuracy and interpretability of the NFC by minimizing two objective functions; one objective relates to the number of rules, for compactness, while the second is the mean square error, for accuracy. In order to preserve interpretability of fuzzy rules during the optimization process, some constraints are imposed. The approach is tested on two control examples: a single input single output (SISO) system and a multivariable (MIMO) system.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
