A new optimization method is presented to search for the global minimum-energy conformations of polypeptides. The method combines essential aspects of the build-up procedure and the genetic algorithm, and it introduces the important concept of ‘‘conformational space annealing.’’ Instead of considering a single conformation, attention is focused on a population of conformations while new conform...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background:  regarding the importance of right diagnosis in medical applications, various methods have been exploited for processing medical images solar. the method of segmentation is used to analyze anal to miscall structures in medical imaging. objective:  this study describes a new method for brain magnetic resonance image (mri) segmentation via a ...

for a uniform distribution of water, decrease in water waste and decrease in erosion of soil, it is important that a land be prepared with proper slopes along its length as well as width. the aim of leveling is to create appropriate slopes for irrigation and drainage on the lands that were not already properly levelled and of the same time creating the level surface with a minimum transport of ...

in this research, an integrated inventory problem is formulated for a single-vendor multiple-retailer supply chain that works according to the vendor managed inventory policy. the model is derived based on the economic order quantity in which shortages with penalty costs at the retailers` level is permitted. as predicting customer demand is the most important problem in inventory systems and th...

in this paper, a stochastic cell formation problem is studied using queuing theory framework and considering reliability. since cell formation problem is np-hard, two algorithms based on genetic and modified particle swarm optimization (mpso) algorithms are developed to solve the problem. for generating initial solutions in these algorithms, a new heuristic method is developed, which always cre...

The structure-hallucinogenic activity relationships of a series of phenylethylamine and phenylisopropylamine derivatives have been investigated in the frameworks of electron-conformational method. The calculated geometry and electronic structure parameters accompanying to each atom and bond of each molecule in view were arranged as a matrix called electron-conformational matrix of contiguity (E...

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...
