Consequently, fish stocks are managed with limited knowledge about the habitat where fish live and incomplete understanding of what oceanographic conditions affect their populations. With the...
The possible effect of oxidation [processing with or without sulfur dioxide
(±S0₂)] and of pre-ultrafiltration treatment of juices with enzymes and fining
agents on flux, and on juice color, composition and stability was investigated. White
Riesling juice was ultrafiltered with a Romicon system operated with a nominal
molecular weight cut-off...
Learning novel concepts from relational databases is an important problem with applications in several disciplines, such as data management, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. For a learning algorithm to be effective, the input data should be clean and in some desired representation. However, real-world data is usually heterogeneous – the...

A prototype real-time process monitoring emergency
classification expert system, RT/EM-CLASS, has been developed
for use at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. This knowledge-based
system features the integration of electronically sensed plant
data with the menu selection data representation of its
predecessor, EM-CLASS. This prototype demonstrates the
techniques required to acquire...
