Article
Ways in which autonomous behavior of spacecraft can be extended to treat situations wherein a closed loop control by a human may not be appropriate or even possible are explored. Predictive models that minimize mean least squared error and arbitrary cost functions are discussed. A methodology for extracting cyclic components for an arbitrary enviro...
Article
Artificial intelligence can be approached through the fast-time evolution of finite-state machines. Random mutation of an arbitrary machine yields an “offspring.” Both machines are driven by the available history and evaluated in terms of the given goal, and the machine having the higher score is selected to serve as the new parent. Such fast-time...

... Moreover, in the early decades, several optimization-based algorithms have been built-up that can be suitably utilized in indifferent issues. These algorithms are primarily population based meta-heuristics or general-purpose algorithms,such as: "Evolutionary-Programming (EP)" by Fogel et al. [42], "Genetic-Algorithms (GA)" by Holland [43], "Ant-Colony Optimization (ACO)" by Dorigo et al. [44],"Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)" by Kennedy and Eberhart [45], and so on. Based on the suitability of application [46][47][48], the PSO algorithm was utilized in this study for the evaluation of farmers' mental-stress with respect to its associated parameters. ...

... Each listener listened to 4 pieces of music during the tests 8 The works were fully anechoic and were selected as illustrative of the 'golden age' of the Western canon, their use by other researchers, and the limited availability of fully anechoic orchestral music. The pieces were played in random order to the listeners with a 5-minute gap between each test. ...
