forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...

groundwater contamination by nitrate is a globally growing problem due to the population growth and increase of demand for food supplies.increasing nitrate concentrations in soil solution and leaching into the ground water table cause water pollution and disturbs the ecological balance. in addition to natural nitrogen cycle, nitrate can be entered to soil and water from the human waste, urban a...

most of the methods that have been proposed for speed estimation of induction machines require the rotor and the stator resistance to change in the normal operating range. on the other hand, estimation of the rotor resistance requires rotor speed. in this paper, after studying conditions for simultaneous estimation of rotor speed and rotor resistance, a method for simultaneous estimation of rot...

automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. however, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. in this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (ldp), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. an ldp feat...

we can reach by dna microarray gene expression to such wealth of information with thousands of variables (genes). analysis of this information can show genetic reasons of disease and tumor differences. in this study we try to reduce high-dimensional data by statistical method to select valuable genes with high impact as biomarkers and then classify ovarian tumor based on gene expression data of...

there are many numerous methods for solving large-scale problems in which some of them are very flexible and efficient in both linear and non-linear cases. league championship algorithm is such algorithm which may be used in the mentioned problems. in the current paper, a new play-off approach will be adapted on league championship algorithm for solving large-scale problems. the proposed algori...

dna sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. this protein sequence takes on a 3d structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in dna. every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...
