In this paper a two-dimensional non-oriented guillotine bin packing problem is studied when items have different priorities. Our objective is to maximize the total profit which is total revenues minus costs of used bins and wasted area. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem where a new coding scheme is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GA, first an upper b...

The purpose of this article is to present an optimization model for designing an acceptance sampling plan based on cumulative sum of run length of conforming items. The objective is to minimize the total loss including both the producer and consumer losses. The concept of minimum angle method is applied to consider producer and consumer risks in the optimization model. Also the average number o...

The study of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and predicting the protein structure plays a critical role in understanding cellular processes designing therapeutic interventions. In this research, we explore application quantum algorithms, specifically Grover’s algorithm, improving accuracy efficiency PPI prediction. By harnessing inherent parallelism search capabilities aim to enhance identi...

A Chinese character embedded in different compound words may carry different meanings. In this paper, we aim at semantic clustering of a given family of morphologically related Chinese words. In Experiment 1, we employed linguistic features at the word, syntactic, semantic, and contextual levels in aggregated computational linguistics methods to handle the clustering task. In Experiment 2, we r...
