In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to predict the vapor pressure of pure organic compounds based on Riedel equation. Initially, the coefficients of Riedel equation were optimized. Then, a new term was added to the original Riedel equation to reduce error of the model in prediction of vapor pressures of pure materials. 110 components at two different pressures (10 and 100 kPa)...

Recent work which combines methods from linguistics and evolutionary biology has been fruitful in discovering the history of major language families because of similarities in evolutionary processes. Such work opens up new possibilities for language research on previously unsolvable problems, especially in areas where information from other sources may be lacking. I use phylogenetic methods to ...

To date most studies on the robustness of operat ing system software have focused on Unix based sys tems This paper develops a methodology and ar chitecture for performing intelligent black box analy sis of software that runs on the Windows NT plat form The goals of the research are three fold rst to develop intelligent robustness testing techniques for Commercial O The Shelf COTS software seco...
