IMSC 500 TERM PAPER FUZZY LOGIC How can a logic which is "fuzzy" be useful? As humans‚ we often rely on imprecise expressions like "usually"‚ "expensive"‚ or "far". But the comprehension of a computer is limited to a black-white‚ everything-or-nothing‚ or true-false mode of thinking. Within conventional logic‚ terms can be only "true" or "false" i.e. either 0 or 1. Fuzzy logic allows a generalization of conventional logic. It provides for terms between "true" and "false" like "almost true"

PageRank Algorithm December 9‚ 2012 Abstract This paper dicsusses the PageRank algorithm. We carefully go through each step of the algorithm and explain each procedure. We also explain the mathematical setup of the algorithm‚ including all computations that are used in the PageRank algorithm. Some of the topics that we touch on include the following‚ but not limited to‚ are: linear algebra‚ node analysis‚ matrix theory‚ and numerical methods. But primarily this paper concerns itself with

Spinoza’s Argument for Substance Monism and Common Objections Spinoza’s Ethics is widely thought of as Spinoza’s greatest work. One noteworthy claim that he makes in his Ethics is his argument for substance monism‚ or the existence of only one substance. In Proposition 14‚ Part I of his Ethics‚ Spinoza states that “There can be‚ or be conceived‚ no other substance but God.” This statement amounts to saying that everything else in this world‚ whether it is extended or not‚ is a mere image of God

ANACOR The ANACOR algorithm consists of three major parts: 1. 2. 3. A singular value decomposition (SVD) Centering and rescaling of the data and various rescalings of the results Variance estimation by the delta method. Other names for SVD are “Eckart-Young decomposition” after Eckart and Young (1936)‚ who introduced the technique in psychometrics‚ and “basic structure” (Horst‚ 1963). The rescalings and centering‚ including their rationale‚ are well explained in Benzécri (1969)‚ Nishisato (1980)

hardware faults. These faults are easy to inject‚ and they cause a variety of different crashes. It is difficult to relate a bit flip with a specific error in programming‚ and most hardware bit flips would be caught by parity on the data or address bus. The next two faults categories‚ excluding the OMISSION faults‚ emulate specific programming errors common to kernel code according to earlier studies [Sullivan and Chillarege‚ 1991; Christmansson and Chillarege‚ 1996]. The second category of fault

Keyboard shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that‚ when pressed‚ can be used to perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can make it easier to interact with your computer‚ saving you time and effort as you work with Windows and other programs. Most programs also provide accelerator keys that can make it easier to work with menus and other commands. Check the menus of programs for accelerator keys. If a letter is
