introduction: manipulation of protein stability is important for understanding the principles that govern protein thermostability, both in basic research and industrial applications. various data mining techniques exist for prediction of thermostable proteins. furthermore, ann methods have attracted significant attention for prediction of thermostability, because they constitute an appropriate ...

This paper contributes with a new two-stage optimization methodology to solve the problem of optimal placement and sizing solar photovoltaic (PV) generation units in medium-voltage distribution networks. The is formulated mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model, where it combines binary variables regarding nodes PV generators will be located continuous associated power flow solution. ...

today, with the advanced statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology. purpose of this research is to predict and map the distribution of tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) using mlp neural networks combined with genetic algorithm in surface of farm. population data of pest was obtained in 2016 by sampling in 1...

In the current paper a rigorous mathematical language for comparing evolutionary computation techniques via their representation is developed. A binary semi-genetic algorithm is introduced, and it is proved that in a certain sense any reasonable evolutionary search algorithm can be re-encoded by a binary semi-genetic algorithm (see corollaries 15 and 16). Moreover, an explicit bijection between...
