Rheology-Based Classification of Foods for the Elderly by Machine Learning Analysis by Sungmin Jeong, Heesu Kim, Suyong Lee

“…A binary logistic classification with the tensorflow library was successfully applied to predict the elderly’s foods based on the rheological stress values from the UDF and puncture tests. The gradient descent algorithm demonstrated that the cost functions became minimized, and the model parameters were optimally estimated with an increasing number of machine learning iterations. …”

QAT'I AND ZANNI DEBATE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF QUR'ANIC STUDIES by Zarul Arifin, Maisyarah Rahmi Hasan, Abdurrahman Raden Aji Haqqi

“…All the verses of the Qur'an that Allah sent down through Jibril to the Prophet Muhammad. which are compiled in the Mushaf and read by Muslims around the world, which are agreed upon by Muslims, are no different and have changed since the beginning of their descent until now and in the future. Meanwhile, from a dalalah or editorial point of view, the contents of the Qur'anic verses related to law can be divided into qath'i and zanni verses. …”

Imperial Identity Seen Through Art. The Case of Maria Theresa – Considerations by Vlăsceanu Mihaela

“…Metaphorical images and realism define the analysed portraits in order to demonstrate how the political and the natural body of the monarch combined to illustrate power and aristocratic descent. In my study, the theoretical works on the role Maria Theresa played as female heir to the throne of the Habsburg Empire (rex femineus) are to be viewed as main sources of the imagery surrounding her natural and political body. …”

Exploring the Effects of Caputo Fractional Derivative in Spiking Neural Network Training by Natabara Máté Gyöngyössy, Gábor Eros, János Botzheim

“…However, statistics show that a range of derivative orders can be determined where the Caputo derivative outperforms first-order gradient descent with high confidence. Improvements in convergence speed and training time are also examined and explained by the reformulation of the Caputo derivative-based training as an adaptive weight normalization technique.…”
