abstract: in this paper, a method for determination of refractive index in membrane of fuel cell on basis of three-longitudinal-mode laser heterodyne interferometer is presented. the optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. the measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity erro...

genetic algorithm and partial least square (ga-pls), the kernel pls (kpls) and levenberg-marquardt artificial neural network (l-m ann) techniques were used to investigate the correlationbetween retention time (rt) and descriptors for 15 nanoparticle compounds which obtained by thecomprehensive two dimensional gas chromatography system (gc x gc). application of thedodecanethiol monolayer-protect...

in different projects the speed of different machinery can be estimated using manufacturer's handbooks and a number of modification factors to consider the environmental effects, type of the project and status of site management. since the statuses of different factors of the domestic projects are totally different from those of the international projects, there is a wide discrepancy betwe...

This paper develops an improved robust multi-surface sliding mode controller for a complicated five degrees of freedom Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System with floating base. The proposed method combines the robust controller with some corrective terms to decrease the tracking error in transient and steady state. This approach improves the performance of the nonlinear dynamic control scheme a...

In dynamic environment, the path planning of mobile robot is a problem difficult to solve. A path planning method for mobile robot based on genetic algorithm is put forward. This method makes use of real number coding and adaptive function with definite physical meaning in the dynamic environment so as to accelerate real-time calculation and improve calculation precision. The simulation result ...

KGoldrunner is a puzzle-oriented platform game with dynamic elements. This paper describes Goldspinner, an automatic level generation system for KGoldrunner. Goldspinner has two parts: a genetic algorithm that generates candidate levels, and simulations that use an AI agent to attempt to solve the level from the player’s perspective. Our genetic algorithm determines how “good” a candidate level...

In recent years, the interest in studying nature inspired optimization algorithms for dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) has been increasing constantly due to its importance in real-world applications. Several techniques such as hyper-selection, change prediction, hypermutation and many more have been developed to address DOPs. Among these techniques, the hypermutation scheme has proved benef...

Maintaining the genetic diversity in populations is an important issue when dealing with dynamic environments. In this paper we use a modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) to solve the 0/1 Dynamic Knapsack Problem (DKP). The proposed GA uses a biologically inspired genetic operator instead of the classical crossover operator. The proposed genetic operator is capable of maintaining the genetic variati...

Dynamic lot sizing problem is one of the significant problem in industrial units and it has been considered by  many researchers. Considering the quantity discount in  purchasing cost is one of the important and practical assumptions in the field of inventory control models and it has been less focused in terms of stochastic version of dynamic lot sizing problem. In  this paper, stochastic dyn...
