A non-iterative learning algorithm for artificial neural networks is an alternative to optimize the neural network parameters with extremely fast convergence time.Extreme learning machine (ELM) is one of the fastest learning algorithms based on a non-iterative method for a single hidden layer feedforward neural network (SLFN) model.ELM uses a rando
The aorta in humans and African great apes, and cardiac output and metabolic levels in human evolution
Abstract Humans have a larger energy budget than great apes, allowing the combination of the metabolically expensive traits that define our life history.This budget is ultimately related to the cardiac output, the product of the blood pumped from the ventricle and the number of heart beats per minute, a measure of the blood available for the whole
Land-use change in oil palm dominated tropical landscapes-An agent-based model to explore ecological and socio-economic trade-offs.
Land-use changes have dramatically transformed tropical landscapes.We describe an ecological-economic land-use change model as an integrated, exploratory tool used to analyze how tropical land-use change affects ecological and socio-economic functions.The model analysis seeks to determine what kind of landscape mosaic can improve the ensemble of ec
