In this paper we consider how suppliers in a cobweb model may learn about their economic environment. Instead of assuming the one step backward-looking expectation scheme of the traditional linear cobweb model, we consider the subjective estimates of the statistical distribution of the market prices based on L-step backward time series of market clearing prices. With constant risk aversion, the cobweb model becomes nonlinear. Sufficient conditions on the local stability of the unique positive equilibrium of the nonlinear model are derived and, consequently, we show that the local stability region (of the parameters of the equation) is proportional to the lag length L When the equilibrium loses its local stability, we show that, for L=2, the model has strong 1:3 resonance bifurcation and a family of fixed points of order 3 becomes unstable on both sides of criticality. The numerical simulations suggest that the model has a simple global structure, it has no complicated dynamics as claimed recently by Boussard. However, complicated dynamics do appear when the model is modified with constant elasticity supply and demand.

Many reports have documented apoptotic death in different cell types within hours of exposure to cytotoxic drugs; lower drug concentrations may cause cell cycle arrest at G2/M and subsequent death, which has been distinguished from 'classic' apoptosis. We have analysed etoposide-induced cell death in two lymphoblastoid T-cell lines, CCRF-CEM and MOLT-4, specifically in relation to DNA cleavage as indicated by pulse-field gel and conventional electrophoresis. High (5 μM) concentration etoposide causes 50-kb cleavage of DNA that occurs at the same time as apoptotic morphology and internucleosomal cleavage. At lower concentrations (0.5-0.05 μM), sequential change may be discerned with altered gene expression being similar to that at high dose, but preceding cell cycle arrest and 50-kb cleavage. These last changes, in turn, clearly precede internucleosomal fragmentation of DNA, vital dye staining and morphological evidence cell death. The pattern of higher order fragmentation constitutes a sensitive indicator of commitment to cell death in these cells. Morphological evidence of cell death is associated with internucleosomal fragmentation in one of the lines, but the pattern of 50-kb DNA cleavage provides the clearest evidence of commonality in death processes occurring at low and high drug concentration.

Generally, the disorders in a neural network diagnosis model are assumed independent each other. In this paper, we propose a neural network model for diagnostic problem solving where the disorder independence assumption is no longer necessary. Firstly, we characterize the diagnostic tasks and the causal network which is used to represent the diagnostic problem, then we describe the neural network diagnosis model, finally, some experiment results will be given.

Default logic is a prominent rigorous method of reasoning with incomplete information based on assumptions. It is a static reasoning approach, in the sense that it doesn't reason about changes and their consequences. On the other hand, its nonmonotonic behaviour appears when a change to a default theory is made. This paper studies the dynamic behaviour of default logic in the face of changes, a concept that we motivate by a reference to requirements engineering. The paper defines a contraction and a revision operator, and studies their properties. This work is part of an ongoing project whose aim is to build an integrated, domain-independent toolkit of logical methods for reasoning with changing and incomplete information. The techniques described in this paper will be implemented as part of the toolkit.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been successfully applied to Optical Character Recognition (OCR) yielding excellent results. In this paper a technique is presented that segments difficult printed and cursive handwriting, and then classifies the segmented characters. A conventional algorithm is used for the initial segmentation of the words, while an ANN is used to verify whether an accurate segmentation point has been found. After all segmentation points have been detected another NN is used to identify the characters which remain following the segmentation process. The C programming language, the SP2 supercomputer and a SUN workstation were used for the experiments. The technique has been tested on real-world handwriting scanned from various staff at Griffith University, Gold Coast. Some preliminary experimental results are presented in this paper.

© 1998 IEEE. This paper describes a generalized dynamic transformer circuit model that includes all types of core losses, nonlinear magnetic characteristics, skin effects of eddy currents in the core, and thermal effects on hysteresis of core materials. A TLM-based transform with variable time steps is employed in the simulation. This model can provide an accurate prediction of transformer performance and core losses and is suitable for simulation of high frequency switching mode converters using transformer isolated outputs. Some interesting issues such as stray capacitance, are discussed. Simulations of a 500 W transformer in a full bridge inverter operated at 15 kHz and 25 kHz have been confirmed by experiments.

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1998. The ability to correctly analyse the impact of changes to system designs is an important goal in software engineering. A framework for addressing this problem has been proposed in which logical descriptions are developed alongside traditional representations. While changes to the resulting design have been considered, no formal framework for design change has been offered. This paper proposes such a framework using techniques from the field of belief revision. It is shown that under a particular strategy for belief revision, called a maxi-adjustment, design revisions can be modelled using standard revision operators. As such, the paper also offers a new area of application for belief revision. Previous attempts to apply belief revision theory have suffered from the criticism that deduced information is held on to more strongly than the facts from which it is derived. This criticism does not apply to the present application because we are concerned with goal decomposition rather than reasoning from facts, and it makes sense that goals should be held onto more strongly than the decompositions designed to achieve them.

The task of diagnosis, a typical abductive problem, is to find a hypothesis that best explains a set of observations. Generally, a neural network diagnostic reasoning model finds only one hypothesis to a set of observations. It is computationally expensive to find the hypothesis because the number of the potential hypotheses is exponentially large. Recently, we have proposed a connectionist diagnosis model to overcome the above difficulty. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the efficiency and the practicality of the model. The improved model can find more solutions, and the efficiency of the model is also improved.

First, we represent the plan-like relations with adjacency lists and inverse adjacency lists to replace adjacency matrixes. Then, we present a method to avoid generating useless sub-graphs while generating the compressed set. Last, we compare two plan verification algorithms. We not only prove that our algorithm is correct, but also prove that our algorithm is better than Katz and Rosenschein’s algorithm both on time complexity and space complexity.

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1998. If different expert systems use different uncertain reasoning models in a distributed expert system, it is necessary to transform the uncertainty of a proposition from one model to another when they cooperate to solve problems. This paper looks at ways to transform uncertainties between the EMYCIN model and the Bayesian network. In the past, the uncertainty management scheme employed the most extensively in expert systems was the EMYCIN model. Now the scheme is turning towards the Bayesian network. If we can combine, by means of the Internet, pre-existing stand-alone expert systems that use these two models into a distributed expert system, the ability of these individual expert systems in their real applications will be greatly improved. The work described in this paper is an important step in this direction.
