a.sacharovi, which is one of the main malaria vectors of the palearchic region, is resistant to ddt in greece (1949), lebanon (1954), turkey (1959), syria and the u.s.s.r. (1972).the first record of a. sacharovi resistance to ddt in iran was given in 1959 from the kazeroon area, followed by izeh (1969) and meshkin-shahr (1970).this study (1973) urgently advises speedy measures to eliminate the ...

We present a multidimensional histogram method to inspect tonality on colour textured surfaces, e.g. ceramic tiles. Comparison in the noise dominated chromatic channels is error prone. We perform vectorordered colour smoothing and generate a PCA-based reconstruction of a query tile based on a reference tile eigenspace. Histograms of local feature vectors are then compared for tonality defect de...

In this paper, we propose new depth-first heuristic search algorithms to approximate the set of Pareto optimal solutions in multi-objective constraint optimization. Our approach builds upon recent advances in multi-objective heuristic search over weighted AND/OR search spaces and uses an -dominance relation between cost vectors to significantly reduce the set of non-dominated solutions. Our emp...

Motivated by a question of Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz we study a notion of weak tail domination of random vectors. We show that if the dominating random variable is sufficiently regular then weak tail domination implies strong tail domination. In particular positive answer to Oleszkiewicz question would follow from the so-called Bernoulli conjecture. We also prove that any unconditional logarithmic...

In this paper, we focus on expensive multiobjective optimization problems and propose a method to predict an approximation of the Pareto optimal set using classification of sampled decision vectors as dominated or nondominated. The performance of our method, called EPIC, is demonstrated on a set of benchmark problems used in the multiobjective optimization literature and compared with state-of ...

A variant of the classical knapsack problem is considered in which each item associated with an integer weight and a qualitative level. We define dominance relation over feasible subsets given set show that this defines preorder. propose dynamic programming algorithm to compute entire non-dominated rank cardinality vectors we state two greedy algorithms, efficiently single efficient solution.

During the last decades, research in multi-objective optimisation has seen considerable growth. However, this activity been focused on linear, non-linear, and combinatorial with multiple objectives. Multi-objective mixed integer (linear or non-linear) programming received considerably less attention. In paper we propose an algorithm to compute a finite set of non-dominated points/efficient solu...
