The creative thinking development of the technical university student by Valentina G. Ryndak, Alfiya V. Moskvina, Polina G. Labzina

“…The theoretical analysis lets us assume that such tasks are aimed at perception, understanding and creating students’ own discourse as the processes mentioned above require such mental operations as analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, specification, abstracting in the process of information decoding, deverbalization and explication that result in thinking flexibility, breadth, fluency and originality and lead to its creativity. …”

A distributed expectation maximization-principal component analysis monitoring scheme for the large-scale industrial process with incomplete information by Xuanyue Wang, Xu Yang, Jian Huang, Xianzhong Chen

“…To avoid this, a distributed expectation maximization-principal component analysis scheme is proposed in this paper, where the process variables are first divided into several sub-blocks using two-layer process decomposition method, based on knowledge and generalized Dice’s coefficient. Then, the missing information of variables is estimated by expectation maximization algorithm in the principal component analysis framework, then the expectation maximization-principal component analysis method is applied for fault detection to each sub-block. …”

Fortunella spp., Kumquat by Michael G. Andreu, Melissa H. Friedman, Robert J. Northrop

“…Their dark green leaves and contrasting bright orange fruits give them ornamental quality, and their relatively small size makes them easy to care for once they’re established. Because kumquats generally require less care than other citrus trees, they may be a good choice for gardeners with less time or experience, but who still desire an attractive and tasty citrus tree. …”

A method for synthetic speech detection using local phase quantization by Jia XU, Zhihua JIAN, Honghui JIN, Man YANG

“…Due to the convenience of speech synthesis, synthesized disguised speech poses a great threat to the security of speaker verification systems.In order to further enhance the ability of detecting the camouflage to the speaker verification system, a method of synthetic speech detection was put forward using the information in spectral domain of the synthetic speech spectrogram.The method employed the local phase quantization (LPQ) algorithm to describe frequency domain information in the speech spectrogram.Firstly, the spectrogram was divided into several sub-blocks, and then the LPQ was performed on each sub-block.After the histogram statistical analysis, the LPQ feature vector was obtained and used as the input feature of the random forest classifier to realize the synthetic speech detection.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method further reduces tandem detection cost function (t-DCF) and has better generalization ability.…”

On the Simplex-based methods for Neutrosophic linear programming problems by Sulima Ahmed Mohammed Zubair, Najla ELzein AbuKaswi Osman, Wiem Abedelmonem Salah Ben Khalifa, Amal Hassan Mohammed Yassin

“…However, due to neutrosophic logic considers three dimensions of a problem, using a direct generalization of the simplex algorithm (which has been done in existing methods), the computational volume is greatly increased even for the small problems, and as a result, the use of these models in real-world issues will be questioned. …”
