Historical Anatomy On Issues of Language Decay, Survival and Change
Abstract: This paper examines issues of language decay, survival and change. The fortunes of language can rise and fall and are intimately linked to the fortunes of their speakers. In the modern world, relatively few languages are becoming more widely spoken, and smaller languages are finding it harder and harder to survive. Prospects are not totally dire, though; several smaller languages have been successfully resurrected, and efforts are in motion to …

Harmonic Analysis of Arterial Blood Pressure Signal Using Fourier Decomposition for Autonomic Health Assessment
Abstract: AbstractIn the present study, the arterial blood pressure waveform is decomposed utilizing Fourier to examine the fundamental frequency and to build up a linkage for autonomic health assessment. This methodology will produce practically identical fundamental frequency, either utilizing noninvasively recorded photoplethysmogram (PPG) or the blood pressure signal. In order to normalize the both, signal PPG waveform is approximated to arterial blood pressure waveform by nonlinear fitting blood pressure values to …

Design of Decentralised PI Controller Based on Characteristic Ratio Assignment Method for a Waste Water Treatment Plant
Abstract: This work proposes a decentralised PI controller design for a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) based on the Characteristic Ratio Assignment (CRA) method. To minimise interactions, a decoupler is created, and for every decoupled subsystem, the First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) model is derived. Using the CRA technique, the independent controllers for each lower order FOPDT decoupling subsystem are calculated. This paper presents the design of a decentralized proportional–integral (PI) …

A Case based Practical Approach for Novel Data Transformation to Enhance Accuracy of Decision Tree Ensembles
Abstract: AbstractIf we talk about any real world situation then we can see that all the situations dramatically changes as the time passes. If we say this statement in some technical form, concepts changes gradually. This situation is called as Concept Drift that is the core of any approach. Until we cannot get the accurate output for a given input parameter, the concepts will concurrently change. To overcome this situation we …
