Feature Selection using Fuzzy Support Vector Machines

The feature selection consists of obtaining a subset of these features to optimally realize the task without the irrelevant ones. Since it can provide faster and cost-effective learning machines and also improve the prediction performance of the predictors, it is a crucial step in machine learning. The feature selection methods using support machines have obtained satisfactory results, but the noises and outliers often reduce the performance. In this paper, we propose a feature selection approach using fuzzy support vector machines and compare it with the previous work, the results of experiments on the UCI data sets show that feature selection using fuzzy SVM obtains better results than using SVM.     

On the Rees algebra of certain codimension two perfect ideals

 Suppose ? is a set of arbitrary number of smooth points in ℙ² its defining ideal. In this paper, we study the Rees algebras of the ideals generated by I _t , t ≥α. When the points of ? are general, we give a set of defining equations for the Rees algebra . When the points of ? are arbitrary, we show that for all t≫ 0, the Rees algebra is Cohen-Macaulay and its defining ideal is generated by quadratics. A cohomological characterization for arithmetic Cohen-Macaulayness of subvarieties of a product space is also given. Received 4 April 2001     

Spectroscopic and Structural Study of the 1：2 Aluminium（Ⅲ） Complex of Quercetin

Complex formation between aluminium and quercetin（Q） in methanol was investigated by means of 27^Al solid-state, 13^C and 1^H NMR and MS（ESI）, UV and IR spectra. Formation of the 1：2 complex was favored in methanol relative to all other solvent and the predominant species observed of Al（Ⅲ） has a 1：2 stoichiometry. The fine structure of 1：2 aluminum complex of quercetin was that the aluminum central atom chelated with two quereetin molecules and two methoxyl groups between two five membered rings, its coordination is six, the chelated site was 3-hydroxy-4-carbonyl.     

IR finite one-loop box scalar integral with massless internal lines

The IR finite one-loop box scalar integral with massless internal lines has been recalculated. The result is very compact, simple and valid for arbitrary values of the relevant kinematic variables. It is given in terms of only two dilogarithms and a few logarithms, all of very simple arguments. Received: 31 January 2002 / Published online: 26 April 2002     

Absorption Complex between Porphyrin and Phenothiazine in Reverse Micelles

Porphyrin derivatives attract much more interest in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Their importance as therapeutic drugs and targeting agents has been widely recognized1, and many of the efforts have been put towards crafting new porphyrin-based molecular entities to achieve enhanced tumor localization, better tissue penetration and increased singlet oxygen quantum yield2. The states of porphyrins in tissue models such as micelles, lipid bilayers are extensively investigated focusing more or l…     

Neutron Scattering on Magnetic Materials Under Extreme Conditions

Many materials exhibit various magnetic phenomena as a function of magnetic field, temperature and/or pressure. Usually, bulk magnetic measurements provide first information on the magnetic state of the material by measuring their response on the applied magnetic field. However, it is necessary to investigate materials also on a microscopic scale. This is often done by means of neutron scattering. In this contribution we discuss basic ideas of this method and we report on few experimental results obtained with a split-pair coil 14.5 T superconducting magnet which can be combined with dilution stick offering temperatures as low as 30 mK and/or with a small clamped-type pressure cell which offers pressure up to 1.0 GPa.     

Two Hadamard matrices of order 956 of Goethals-Seidel type

No Hadamard matrices of order 956 appear in the literature. In this note we construct two such matrices. They are both of Goethals-Seidel type. As a consequence of this and of a result of Seberry and Yamada, we conclude that there exist 4-Williamson type matrices of order 1913.This work was supported by NSERC of Canada Grants A-5285 and EQP0107539.     

Temperature dependent structure of spider silk by X-ray diffraction

We have investigated the structure of spider dragline silk by X-ray diffraction over a broad temperature range from room temperature up to thermal denaturation conditions. The dominating signal from the β-sheet crystallites is analyzed. Pronounced changes of scattering intensity starting at temperatures around 150 °C are observed. These changes are discussed in view of the respective lattice constants, crystal size, size distribution, crystallite number density and amino acid composition. PACS 87.68.+z; 87.15.-v; 87.64.Bx
