optimization of structures for minimum weight has become important in the recent designs. in this study, a genetic optimization algorithm for weight minimization of steel frames has been used. the genetic algorithm is an optimization and search technique based on the principles of genetics and natural selection. constraints regarding material strength and serviceability are taken from “aisc cod...

Hodgkin-type lymphoma is a disease with unique histological, immunophenotypic, and clinical features. This occurs in nearly 30% of all lymphomas. Its treatable high. However, the treatment plan specified after stage risk status are determined. For this reason, it an important process for doctors to decide on correctly. Some data used decision patient's history, detailed physical examination, la...

Providing appropriate home health care is one of the increasing concerns in organizations. Home Health Care provides various services for disabled or elderly individuals at their homes. Also, deal with current critical situation coronavirus disease (COVID-19) due to limited capacity hospitals and feeling insecurity crowded places, more recommended. This paper addresses a Routing Scheduling Prob...

Multimodal optimization is used to find multiple global & local optima which is very useful in many real world optimization problems. But often evolutionary algorithms fail to locate multiple optima as required by the system. Also they fail to store those optima by themselves. So we have to use other selection scheme that can detect & store multiple optima along with evolutionary algorithms. He...

clustering is a widespread data analysis and data mining technique in many fields of study such as engineering, medicine, biology and the like. the aim of clustering is to collect data points. in this paper, a cultural algorithm (ca) is presented to optimize partition with n objects into k clusters. the ca is one of the effective methods for searching into the problem space in order to find a n...

Canada thistle is the most invasive and challenging weed in grazing systems in the Upper Midwest (Doll, personal observation) and its membership on the noxious weed lists of many states demonstrates its tenacity against conventional control tactics. The resilience of this weed can be credited to its ability to effectively reproduce through both seed production/dispersal and its extensive root s...

The identification and classification of weeds are of major technical and economical importance in the agricultural industry. To automate these activities, like in shape, color and texture, weed control system is feasible. The goal of this paper is to build a real-time, machine vision weed control system that can detect weed locations. In order to accomplish this objective, a real-time robotic ...

During the past decade, as the issue of plant invasion gained recognition in the public domain, both ecologists and weed scientists voluntarily or by mandate moved to provide their expertise to the management of invasive plants on public lands. Diverse views of nature carried to the table by ecologists and weed scientists have resulted in different priorities and opinions on management strategi...

Oxalis pes-caprae f. pleniflora (Lowe) Sunding (Oxalidaceae), a naturalized invasive alien is recorded for the first time from Turkey. It has staminodes and double petals as different properties from Oxalis pes-caprae L. Sympatric variations occured in the species populations could be the result of an accumulation of mutations or genome rearrangement. Invasive alien weed Oxalis pes-caprae and i...
