A Matter of Timing: Identifying Significant Multi-Dose Radiotherapy Improvements by Numerical Simulation and Genetic Algorithm Search
Multi-dose radiotherapy protocols (fraction dose and timing) currently used in the clinic are the product of human selection based on habit, received wisdom, physician experience and intra-day patient timetabling. However, due to combinatorial considerations, the potential treatment protocol space for a given total dose or treatment length is enormous, even for relatively coarse search; well be...
متن کاملA Hybrid Algorithm using Firefly, Genetic, and Local Search Algorithms
In this paper, a hybrid multi-objective algorithm consisting of features of genetic and firefly algorithms is presented. The algorithm starts with a set of fireflies (particles) that are randomly distributed in the solution space; these particles converge to the optimal solution of the problem during the evolutionary stages. Then, a local search plan is presented and implemented for searching s...
متن کاملMathematical simulation of a vehicle radiator by genetic algorithm method and comparison with experimental data
In many industrial processes, heat exchangers play the important role of the cooling function. The effective heat transfer rate in a specific process strongly depends on the heat exchanger design. The most popular type of heat exchangers commonly used in the automotive industry, is called "radiator". In engines, radiators play the important role of the cooling process. The present study is de...
متن کاملPresenting a Joint Replenishment-location Model Under all-units Quantity Discount and Solving by Genetic Algorithm and Harmony Search Algorithm
In this paper a model is proposed for distribution centers location and joint replenishment of a distribution system that is responsible for orders and product delivery to distribution centers. This distribution centers are under limitedwarehouse space and this can determine amount of requirement product by considering proposed discount.The proposed model is develop to minimize total costs cons...
