A pseudo-independent (PI) model is a probabilistic domain model (PDM) where proper subsets of a set of collectively dependent variables display marginal independence. It has been shown that several co...
The constrained node elimination (CNE) method is a method explicitly designed for exact inference in dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs). It is sufficiently effective for applications where the dynamic d...
Abstract Let (K, +, *) be an odd order presemifield with commutative multiplication. We show that the set of nonzero squares of (K, *) is a skew Hadamard difference set or a Paley type partial differe...
A hydroponic experiment combined with subcellular fractionation and gel filtration was carried out to study the chemical forms and subcellular and molecular distribution of Cd in rice roots and leaves...
We consider multiple agents who's task is to determine the true state of a uncertain domain so they can act properly. If each agent only has partial knowledge about the domain and local observation, h...
