Quaternary climatic cycles have influenced marine organisms' spatial distribution and population dynamics. This study aimed to elucidate the evolutionary influences of contemporary and glacial physical barriers on the population structure, demography and colonization history of the mudskipper (Periophthalmus modestus) based on a mitochondrial gene segment (ND5) from 131 individual fish sampled ...

scheduling is to determine the priorities or arrange the activities to meet the needs, limitations and certain goals. because the time is always a limited resource, all activities should be scheduled to use optimally and certainly the resource. gravitational force algorithm, like other evolutionary algorithms, is inspired by nature. the effect of the gravity on the objects reciprocally and to a...

As one of the important artificial intelligence fields, brain-like computing attempts to give machines a higher level by studying and simulating cognitive principles human brain. Compared with traditional neural network, spiking network (SNN) has better biogenesis stronger power. In this paper, an SNN learning model based on evolutionary membrane algorithm is proposed solve problem supervised c...

Stochastic local search (SLS) methods like evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation or iterated local search receive an ever increasing attention for the solution of highly application relevant optimisation problems. Despite their noteworthy successes, several issues still hinder their even wider spread. One central issue is the configuration and parameterisation of SLS methods, which i...
