Consciousness is a central issue in neuroscience, however, we still lack a formal framework that can address the nature of the relationship between consciousness and its physical substrates. In this review, we provide a novel mathematical framework o...

We propose an architecture based on Quantum Cellular Automata which allows the use of only one type of quantum gate per computational step, using nearest neighbor interactions. The model is built in partial steps, each one of them analyzed using near...

Inspired by the possibility that generative models based on quantum circuits can provide a useful inductive bias for sequence modeling tasks, we propose an efficient training algorithm for a subset of classically simulable quantum circuit models. The...

Patterns of connectivity among nodes on networks can be revealed by community detection algorithms. The great significance of communities in the study of clustering patterns of nodes in different systems has led to the development of various methods...

Different types of nanomaterials are used these days. Among them, clay nanoparticles are the one of the most applicable and affordable options. Specifically, clay nanoparticles have numerous applications in the field of medical science for cleaning b...

Personnel performance is important for the high-technology industry to ensure its core competitive advantages are present. Therefore, predicting personnel performance is an important research area in human resource management (HRM). In this paper, to...

Individuals’ ability to express their subjective experiences in terms of such attributes as pleasant/unpleasant or positive/negative feelings forms a fundamental property of their affect and emotion. However, neuroscientific findings on the und...

This study investigated the application of a modified percussion entropy index (PEIPPI) in assessing the complexity of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) for diabetic peripheral neuropathy prognosis. The index was acquired by comparing the obedience of the...

Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a method which involves quantitative failure analysis. It systematically examines potential failure modes in a system, as well as the components of the system, to determine the impact of a fai...

Spherical fuzzy set (SFS) is one of the most important and extensive concept to accommodate more uncertainties than existing fuzzy set structures. In this article, we will describe a novel enhanced TOPSIS-based procedure for tackling multi attribute...
