Exploring topology preservation of SOMs with a graph based visualization
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 2008)
The Self-Organizing Map (SOM), which projects a (high-dimensional) data manifold onto a lower-dimensional (usually 2-d) rigid lattice, is a commonly used manifold learning algorithm. However, a postprocessing - that is ...
Formalizing epistemological constituents of emergence
(AISB 2008 Convention: Communication, Interaction and Social Intelligence - Proceedings of the AISB 2008 Symposium on Agent Cognitive Ability and Orders of Emergence, 2008)
Social action depends on the knowledge about all levels of emergent structure and this knowledge is not limited to but produced by the local binary interactions, thus requiring reflexivity and intentionality. This knowledge ...
Hypoglycemic effect of Lentinus strigosus (Schwein.) Fr. crude exopolysaccharide in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
(Journal of Medicinal Food, 2008)
This study reports the hypoglycemic effects of the crude exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced from submerged mycelial culture of Lentinus strigosus (Schwein.) Fr. (Family Polyporaceae) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic ...
Lagrangian formulation of electromagnetic fields in nondispersive medium by means of the extended Euler-Lagrange differential equation
(International Journal of Engineering Science, 2008)
This work is concerned with the Lagrangian formulation of electromagnetic fields. Here, the extended Euler-Lagrange differential equation for continuous, nondispersive media is employed. The Lagrangian density for ...
Hue, saturation, lightness, and building exterior preference: An empirical study in Turkey comparing architects' and nonarchitects' evaluative and cognitive judgments
(Color Research and Application, 2008)
This study investigated architects' and nonarchitects' evaluative and cognitive judgments of color on building exteriors. Thirty architects and 30 high school teachers living in Izmir, Turkey participated in the study. The ...
Rate-visual-distortion optimized extraction with quality layers for scalable coding of stereo videos
(Proceedings - International Conference on Image Processing, ICIP, 2008)
The Quality Layers concept is proposed and adopted in the JSVM in order to ensure an optimal adaptation in a ratedistortion sense [1]. In this paper it is extended to multiview case for scalable coding of stereo videos. ...
Integration of GIS: A showcase study on GML based WebGIS
(Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2008)
The growth of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) emerges as analytical decision-making tools utilizing highly specialized geographic data. However, a simple system still does not exist for the integration/sharing ...
GridGIS portal development based on OGCE
(Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2008)
GridGIS is the application of grid computing technology on GIS field, which aims to realize the spatial information sharing and cooperative service. However, current grid technologies are generally difficult to use, so the ...
Financial performance impacts of Corporate Entrepreneurship in Emerging markets: A case of Turkey
(European Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Sciences, 2008)
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of four sub-dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship (hereafter CE) on firms' financial performance in Turkey. The research of this study has been conducted from 2032 respondents ...
On the nearest parametric approximation of a fuzzy number
(Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2008)
Many nearest parametric approximation methods of fuzzy sets are proposed in the literature. It is clear that the specific approximations may lead to the loss of information about fuzziness. To overcome this problem, most ...
