A general introduction to the use of feed-back artificial neural networks (ANN) for obtaining good approximate solutions to combinatorial optimization problems is given, assuming no previous knowledge in the field. In particular we emphasize a novel neural mapping technique which efficiently reduces the solution space. This approach maps the problems onto Potts glass rather than spin glass models.
Vatten är en naturresurs som vi kanske tar lite för mycket för givet i vårt land. Grundvattenforskaren charlotte Sparrenbom menar att skyddet av den kanske viktigaste naturresursen för vår överlevnad är kraftigt eftersatt. hon vill väcka till eftertanke om hur vårt fotavtryck ser ut för kommande generationer, och föreslå sätt att komma igång med bättre skydd av vårt vatten.
Elastic—plastic anti‐plane strain problems can be solved by using FEM programs developed for plane stress. The technique does not involve any manipulations with the FEM code, but is merely a matter of specialization and of translation of notation. Two analytically solvable cases are chosen for demonstration.
The article argues that the way Anabaptist history and theology is commonly narrated needs to be reshaped. A fundamental question is asked: Did women have positions of power in the early Anabaptist movement? Two points are considered: 1) How is power understood? and 2) On what premises can the history of Anabaptist women be written? These two points are put in relation to portraits of three women
Considerable efforts by leading experts and funds from around the world are put into restructuring the West Bank justice and security sector (JSS). This is an effort done in a highly contested environment, with an ongoing Israeli occupation and weak local trust in the Palestine Authority (PA). This article analyzes the understandings by local Palestinian non-government organizations and internatio
Short essay on the aesthetics of Swedish video artist Lena Mattsson
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. OBJECTIVES: To optimize the radiation doses and image quality for the cone-beam O-arm surgical imaging system in spinal surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND: Neurovascular compromise has been reported after screw misplacement during thoracic pedicle screw insertion. The use of O-arm with or without navigation system during spinal surgery has been shown to lower the rat
