This paper introduces a novel bio-inspired meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, named termite life cycle optimizer (TLCO), which is based both on the of colony and modulation movement strategies used by many animal species in nature. Termite colonies are comprised three distinct castes: workers, soldiers reproductive termites. Each caste undertakes set specific tasks that ensure growth surviv...

Nowadays, lightweight automotive component design, regarding fuel consumption, environmental pollutants and manufacturing costs, is one of the main issues in the automotive societies. In addition, considering safety reasons, the durability of the automotive components, as one of the most important design requirements should be guaranteed. In this paper, a two-step optimization process including...

nowadays, different methods are used to solve optimization problems which ,one of the newest is bco method that are inspired by the nature and derived from the social life of bees of these methods can be noted that bco is derived from the social life of bees. we use in this paper fuzzy logic for bee‟s decision stage. at the end, we solve two different problem that have already been solved by es...

Optimization of leakage power is essential for nanoscale CMOS (nano-CMOS) technology based integrated circuits for numerous reasons, including improving battery life of the system in which they are used as well as enhancing reliability. Leakage optimization at an early stage of the design cycle such as the register-transfer level (RTL) or architectural level provides more degrees of freedom to ...

There are four forms of hydatid disease. Echinococcus granulosus (EG) is the most common and gives rise to cystic hydatid disease (CHD), which is the focus of this review. Echinococcus multilocularis is uncommon and causes alveolar hydatid disease (AHD), which is far more aggressive and frequently mimics malignancy. The rarest clinical form is Echinococcus vogeli or polycystic hydatid disease (...

Adipose stem cells, which reside in a vascular niche, are essential to the development and maintenance of adipose tissue. Data from humans and rodents show that maintenance of adult adipose tissue is a dynamic process. Adipocyte turnover in young adult mice is estimated to be greater than 10% per month. The adipose stem cell niche is just as active, generating new adipocytes and replenishing th...
