A hybrid Taguchi-based genetic algorithm (HTGA) is developed for solving multi-objective flowshop scheduling problems (FSPs). Search performance is improved by using Taguchi-based crossover to avoid scheduling conflicts, and dynamic weights are randomly selected by a fuzzy inference system. The conventional approach to selecting dynamic weights randomly ignores small value for the objective whe...

Image segmentation is the classification of data sets into group of similar data points. This article proposed a method to determine the winner unit by self organizing mapping network. The distance between the input vector and the weight vector has been determined by mahalanobis distance and chooses the unit whose weight vector has the smallest mahalanobis distance from the input vector. The re...

Support vector machines have gotten wide acceptance for their high generalization ability for real world applications. But the major drawback is slow training for classification problems with a large number of training data. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we discuss extracting boundary data from the training data and train the support vector machine using only these data. Namely, for ...

We have analyzed the fine structure of 10 chromosomal fibers from mitotic spindles of PtK1 cells in metaphase and anaphase, using electron microscopy of serial thin sections and computer image processing to follow the trajectories of the component microtubules (MTs) in three dimensions. Most of the kinetochore MTs ran from their kinetochore to the vicinity of the pole, retaining a clustered arr...

The polarity of kinetochore microtubules (MTs) has been studied in lysed PtK1 cells by polymerizing hook-shapdd sheets of neurotubulin onto the walls of preexisting cellular MTs in a fashion that reveals their structural polarity . Three different approaches are presented here : (a) we have screened the polarity of all MTs in a given spindle cross section taken from the region between the kinet...

In the present research, vibrational behavior of anisotropic protein microtubules (MTs) immersed in cytosol via Cooper–Naghdi shell model is investigated. MTs are hollow cylindrical structures in the eukaryotic cytoskeleton which surrounded by filament network. The temperature effect on vibration frequency is also taken into account by assuming temperature-dependent material properties for MTs....

Tannic acid fixation reveals differences in the number of protofilaments between microtubules (MTs) in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Most cells have MTs with 11 protofilaments but the six touch receptor neurons (the microtubule cells) have MTs with 15 protofilaments. No 13-protofilament (13-p) MT has been seen. The modified cilia of sensory neurons also possess unusual structures. The ci...

We investigate traffic management in the mechanical transport system. A major factor in the management of the MTS is search of the optimal route. Therefore, this article is described the routing in the MTS taking into account the inaccuracies and uncertainties of transportation options. We have developed a routing algorithm that takes into account the temporal fuzzy nature of the variables. We ...
