since crosses of lines with suitable genetic distance produce excellent hybrids, the identification of genetic diversity between zea mays l. inbred lines in hybrid maize breeding programs has a high priority. a total of 27 inbred lines plus b73 and mo17 (sc704 parents) were evaluated by 15 inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) primers. inbreds were selected randomly from inbred lines from the agr...

In this paper, two algorithms have been developed for allocation and size determination of Active Power Filters (APF) in power systems. In the first algorithm, the objective is to minimize harmonic voltage distortion. The objective in the second algorithm is to minimize the new APF injection currents while satisfying harmonic standards. Genetic algorithm is proposed for these two optimization p...

this article proposes a new algorithm for finding a good approximate set of non-dominated solutions for solving generalized traveling salesman problem. Random gravitational emulation search algorithm (RGES (is presented for solving traveling salesman problem. The algorithm based on random search concepts, and uses two parameters, speed and force of gravity in physics. The proposed algorithm is ...

This paper aims to study the locomotive assignment problem which is very important for railway companies, in view of high cost of operating locomotives. This problem is to determine the minimum cost assignment of homogeneous locomotives located in some central depots to a set of pre-scheduled trains in order to provide sufficient power to pull the trains from their origins to their destinations...

As the spectrum for wireless transmission gets crowded due to the increase in the users and applications, the efficient use of the spectrum is a major challenge in today’s world. A major affecting factor is the inefficient usage of the frequency bands. Interference in the neighboring cells affects the reuse of the frequency bands. In this paper, some of the quality of service parameters such as...

This paper considers the job scheduling problem in virtual manufacturing cells (VMCs) with the goal of minimizing two objectives namely, makespan and total travelling distance. To solve this problem two algorithms are proposed: traditional non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and knowledge-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (KBNSGA-II). The difference between these algor...
