this study was conducted to compare the effects of diets borage powder and control (no additives diets) on broiler’s average blood cell counts and immune system on the broiler chicks. sixty four male broiler chicks (ross 308) randomly allocated into one of two treatments with four replicates of eight chickens based on a completely randomized block design.  diets were include control (no additiv...

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are algorithms inspired by the human immune system. The human immune system is a robust, decentralized, error tolerant and adaptive system. Such properties are highly desirable for the development of novel computer systems. Unlike some other bio-inspired techniques, such as genetic algorithms and neural networks, the field of AIS encompasses a spectrum of algorit...

In this study, we have employed the maximum envelope of the carotid artery Doppler sonograms derived from Fast Fourier Transformation-Welch Method and artificial immune systems in order to distinguish between atherosclerosis and healthy subjects. In this classification problem, the used artificial immune system has reached to 99.33% classification accuracy using 10-fold Cross Validation (CV) me...

This study presents a new artificial immune system for classification. It was named discrimination-based artificial immune system (DAIS) and was based on the principle of self and non-self discrimination by T cells in the human immune system. Ability of a natural immune system to distinguish between self and non-self molecules was applicable for classification in a way that one class was distin...

This paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. We assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. In this paper, we present an Artificial Imm...

Cell formation problem (CFP) is one of the main problems in cellular manufacturing systems. Minimizing exceptional elements and voids is one of the common objectives in the CFP. The purpose of the present study is to propose a new model for cellular manufacturing systems to group parts and machines in dedicated cells using a part-machine incidence matrix to minimize the voids. After identifying...

The automatic diagnosis of breast cancer is an important, real-world medical problem. In this paper we give an introduction to fuzzy systems, genetic algorithms and artificial immune system, and then we introduce a hybrid algorithm that gathers the genetic algorithms with the artificial immune system in one algorithm. The genetic algorithm, the artificial immune system and the hybrid algorithm ...
