Laboratory testing and medication prescription are two of the most important routines in daily clinical practice. Developing an artificial in- telligence system that can automatically make lab test imputations and medication recommendations can save costs on potentially redundant lab tests and...

In order to improve the phosphate adsorption capacity of Ca-loaded biochar under acidic conditions, Ca was loaded as Ca(OH) 2 on the biochar pyrolyzed at 500°C by high-temperature calcination-ultrasonic treatment-stirring impregnation method using tobacco straw and oyster shell as the raw...

An autonomous stochastic system with nonlinear time-delayed feedback is investigated employing the stochastic simulation method. In the autonomous stochastic system with quadratic time-delayed feedback or under positive feedback, the nonlinear delay time fails to possess the role improving the...

Grey mullet (Mugil cephalus L.) is one of the most important commercial species of fish in the coastal fisheries of Taiwan. In this study, we analyzed the long-term (1967–2009) records of grey mullet catch per unit effort (CPUE) in the Taiwan Strait (TS) to investigate the influences of...

The auto-correlation function and the cross-correlation function of an autonomous stochastic system with time delays are investigated. We obtain the distribution curves of the auto-correlation function Cx(s) and Cy(s), and the cross-correlation function Cxy(s) and Cyx(s) of the stochastic...

Metamodel is widely used to deal with analysis and optimization of complex system. Structural optimization related to crashworthiness is of particular importance to automotive industry nowadays, which involves highly nonlinear characteristics with material and structural parameters. This paper...
