A simulation study was conducted to address the issue of how purely additive (simple) genetic architecture might impact on the efficacy of parametric and non-parametric genomic prediction methods. For this purpose, we simulated a trait with narrow sense heritability h2= 0.3, with only additive genetic effects for 300 loci in order to compare the predictive ability of 14 more practically used ge...

background helicobacter pylori infection is a common infection that affects human beings. this infection also affects children. different diagnostic methods such as serology, stool antigen detection, rapid urease test and histology are used to detect this microorganism. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between serology and histology/rapid urease test. patients a...

This paper presents an improved on-line predictive control method of non-linear time-varying dynamic systems. This method identifies the predictive controller coefficients with a new technique called Restricted Genetic Optimization (RGO). This method is based on Genetic Algorithms combined with a new technique to simulate the gradient method behaviour without using the concept of derivatives.

Model predictive controller is widely used in industrial plants. Uncertainty is one of the critical issues in real systems. In this paper, the direct adaptive Simplified Model Predictive Control (SMPC) is proposed for unknown or time varying plants with uncertainties. By estimating the plant step response in each sample, the controller is designed and the controller coefficients are directly ca...
