The rising popularity of multi-source, multi-sensor networks supporting real-life applications calls for an efficient and intelligent approach to information fusion. Traditional optimization techniques often fail to meet the demands. The evolutionary approach provides a valuable alternative due to its inherent parallel nature and its ability to deal with difficult problems. We present a new evo...

Retailers, particularly those in the style-goods and fashion apparel industry, are increasingly demanding guaranteed profit margins (GPMs) from their vendors. Under a GPM stipulation, a vendor has to offer a rebate to maintain the retailer’s target margin on the item if the retailer is compelled to take a markdown from the initial price to sell out the ordered quantity for the season. Vendors d...

In common genetic programming approaches, the space of genotypes, that is the search space, is identical to the space of phenotypes, that is the solution space. Facts and theories from molecular biology suggest the introduction of non-identical ge-nospaces and phenospaces, and a generic genotype-phenotype mapping which maps unconstrained genotypes into syntactically correct phenotypes. Neutral ...

Sutami Reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir, so it necessary to record complete rainfall data and evaporation as basis for regulating reservoir operation patterns, water balance analysis, others. Satellite technology can be applied such an alternative hydrological anticipate incompleteness inaccuracy of during observation.. This study aimed evaluate satellite with observation in the Area. TRMM...

The characteristics of shallow and deep convection during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission/ Large-Scale Biosphere–Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (TRMM/LBA) and the Eastern Pacific Investigation of Climate Processes in the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere System (EPIC) are evaluated in this study. Using high-quality radar data collected during these two tropical field experiments, the reflecti...

The accurate assessment of spatiotemporal rainfall variability is a crucial and challenging task in many hydrological applications, mainly due to the lack of a sufficient number of rain gauges. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the spatiotemporal variations of annual and monthly rainfall over Fujian province in China by combining the Bayesian maximum entropy (BME) method and sa...

The tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission TRMM 3B42 V7 product and its successor, the Global Precipitation Measurement Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM IMERG high-resolution V5, have been validated against rain gauges precipitation in an arid mountainous basin where ground-based observations of are sparse, or spatially undistributed. This paper aims to evaluate hydro-statically perfo...
