While the cortex undergoes rapid nonlinear change in the first years of life, it remains unclear how these changes, which occur prior to age five, are associated with later neurocognitive function.

In intervention research, single-case experimental designs are an important way to gain insights into the causes of individual changes that yield high internal validity. They are commonly applied to ...

The records of maintenance activities are required for modeling the track irregularity deterioration process. However, it is hard to guarantee the completeness and accuracy of the maintenance records.

Abstract: Various optimizations in power systems based on the AC power flow model are inherently mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. Piecewise linear power flow models can handle ...

Abstract: Many computer vision and human-computer interaction applications developed in recent years need evaluating complex and continuous mathematical functions as an essential step toward proper ...

In this paper, we propose a method for finding the best piecewise linearization of nonlinear functions. For this aim, we try to obtain the best approximation of a nonlinear function as a piecewise ...
