In this paper, a hybrid intelligent parameter estimation algorithm is proposed for predicting the strip temperature during laminar cooling process. The algorithm combines a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) with grey case-based reasoning (GCBR) in order to improve the precision of the strip temperature prediction. In this context, the hybrid genetic algorithm is formed by combining the genetic alg...

A new hybrid algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) is presented to get the optimum design of truss structures with discrete design variables. The objective function chosen in this paper is the total weight of the truss structure, which depends on upper and lower bounds in the form of stress and displacement limits. The Particle Swarm Optimization basically model...

background & aim: nowadays, home health care services play significant roles in modern societies. such services allow the elderly and needy people to pass their treatment process at their own houses in a friendly environment. in this paper, weekly routing and scheduling problem of home health care personnel was investigated. methods & materials: insufficient number of expert personnel or overla...

Sensors used in image acquisition. This sensor technology is going on upgrading as per user need or of an application. Multiple sensors collect the information their respective wavelength band. But one not sufficient to acquire complete scene. To gain overall data part, it becomes essential cartel images from multiple sources. achieved through merging. It method merging dissimilar input sources...
