Based on the advances of research in cognitive informatics and related fields, this paper attempts to develop a layered reference model of the brain that explains the functional mechanisms and cognitive processes of the natural intelligence. A variety of life functions and cognitive processes have been identified in cognitive informatics, cognitive science, neuropsychology, and neurophilosophy. In order to formally and rigorously describe a comprehensive and coherent set of mental processes and their relationships, an integrated reference model of the brain is established, which encompasses 37 cognitive processes at six layers known as the sensation, memory, perception, action, meta and higher cognitive layers from bottom up. The reference model of the brain may be applied to explain a wide range of physiological, psychological, and cognitive phenomena in cognitive informatics, particularly relationships between the inherited and the acquired life functions, as well as the subconscious and conscious cognitive processes.

For dynamical systems expressed in state-space form or for systems with non-classical damping, the reduction of the structural model into the modal co-ordinates involves complex modal analysis with complex modal co-ordinates. In this paper, application of sliding mode control for vibration control of a linear structural system under earthquake excitation is investigated. The proposed controller is applied to a three-storey building structure and the motion of the floors under El-Centro earthquake is investigated. Simulation results show that using the proposed sliding mode controller the displacement of the floors is decreased significantly. This controller can be similarly applied for higher order building.

Efficient star query processing is crucial for a performant data warehouse (DW) implementation and much work is available on physical optimization (e.g., indexing and schema design) and logical optimization (e.g., pre-aggregated materialized views with query rewriting). One important step in the query processing phase is, however, still a bottleneck: the residual join of results from the fact table with the dimension tables in combination with grouping and aggregation. This phase typically consumes between 50% and 80% of the overall processing time. In typical DW scenarios pre-grouping methods only have a limited effect as the grouping is usually specified on the hierarchy levels of the dimension tables and not on the fact table itself. We suggest a combination of hierarchical clustering and pre-grouping as we have implemented in the relational DBMS Transbase. Exploiting hierarchy semantics for the pre-grouping of fact table result tuples is several times faster than conventional query processing. The reason for this is that hierarchical pre-grouping reduces the number of join operations significantly. With this method even queries covering a large part of the fact table can be executed within a time span acceptable for interactive query processing.
