Identification of fuzzy relation models using hierarchical fair competition-based parallel genetic algorithms and information granulation

The paper is concerned with a hybrid optimization of fuzzy inference systems based on hierarchical fair competition-based parallel genetic algorithms (HFCGA) and information granulation. The process of information granulation is realized with the aid of the C-Means clustering. HFCGA being a multi-population based parallel genetic algorithms (PGA) is exploited here to realize structure optimization and carry out parameter estimation of the fuzzy models. The HFCGA becomes helpful in the context of fuzzy models as it restricts a premature convergence encountered quite often in optimization problems. It concerns a set of parameters of the model including among others the number of input variables to be used, a specific subset of input variables, and the number of membership functions. In the hybrid optimization process, two general optimization mechanisms are explored. The structural development of the fuzzy model is realized via the HFCGA optimization and C-Means, whereas to deal with the parametric optimization we proceed with a standard least square method and the use of the HFCGA technique. A suite of comparative studies demonstrates that the proposed algorithm leads to the models whose performance is superior in comparison with some other constructs commonly used in fuzzy modeling.     

On the existence and stability of a unique almost periodic solution of Schoener’s competition model with pure-delays and impulsive effects

In this paper, we consider an almost periodic Schoener’s competition model with delays and impulsive effects. Sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence of the model and the existence of a unique uniformly asymptotically stable positive almost periodic solution are obtained. The result of this paper is completely new. An suitable example is employed to illustrate the feasibility of the main results.

Role of asymmetry in competition for light in a model of annual plants

We propose and discuss a model describing dynamics of annual plants competing with their nearest neighbours for sunlight. The effect of the competition determines the size, or equivalently, the biomass of each plant and the number of seeds it produces. At the end of a period (year) plants distribute their seeds over the sites in the Moore neighbourhood and then die. They leave their biomass in the form of litter, which hinders germination of the seeds.We show that the dynamical behaviour depends crucially on two parameters—litter reduction rate and the plants’ growth rate. Larger litter reduction rate and smaller growth rate lead to the population of few plants, producing more biomass than when more smaller plants are present and the litter reduction rate is low and growth rate is high. We show that asymmetry in the competition, which could favour bigger plants, have rather weak effect on the dynamical behaviour. The distribution of the biomass depends on the asymmetry. When larger plants receive much more sunlight than the smaller ones, the latter are quite often eliminated from the neighbourhood. For weaker asymmetry smaller plants could survive, producing however less biomass than the larger plants.     

The spatial distribution of clusters and the formation of mixed languages in bilingual competition

We use cellular automata simulation methods to study the competition between two languages (language A$A$ and B$B$). We assume each of the two languages consists of F$F$ independent features and define an individual as two F$F$-length “identity level” integer strings. The value of each integer of the strings indicates whether the individual is willing or unwilling to express a certain feature and how his willingness or unwillingness is. In our model, individuals who speak either language A$A$ or B$B$ are randomly placed on a square lattice initially and programmed to evolve under the communication and interaction methods. First, we consider the situation that the competition occurs between two languages with only one feature. We find the differences between short-time coexistence processes and long-time coexistence processes and discuss how the spatial distribution of languages evolves. We observe that periodic line-shaped boundaries take shape in some simulations and lead to long-time coexistence between the two languages. Then we study the multi-feature cases when F=10$F=10$ and find the correlation among the evolution of different features decreases with time. We also observe the extinction of two primitive languages and formation of mixed languages.

Diphasic dialysis extraction technique for clenbuterol determination in bovine retina by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Summary A method is described for the extraction of clebuterol from bovine retina samples by diphasic dialysis using gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as the procedure of determination. Following chemical digestion of retinal tissue in alkaline medium at 80°C, clenbuterol is extracted by diphasic dialysis using diethyl ether as solvent at 37°C, for 4 h at 150 rpm. Diethyl ether is evaporated to dryness and clenbuterol determined by GC-MS after butylboronic acid (BBA) derivatization. A detection limit of 2.5 ng g⁻¹, repeatability of 9.0% and reproducibility of 22.9%, with recoveries always >86% (n=5), are achieved as validation criteria.
