The advance in the global environment, rapidly changing markets, and information technology has created a new stage for design. In such an environment, one strategy for success is the Collaborative Product Development (CPD). Organizing people effectively is the goal of Collaborative Product Development, and it solves the problem with certain foreseeability. The development group activities are ...

Genetic aberrations are commonly seen in human preimplantation embryos. Non-disjunction and premature division of a chromosome are common in both meiosis and mitosis divisions. The expected result for meiotic aneuploidies is full aneuploidy in the later stages whereas mosaicism is the most frequent event in the cleavage and blastocyst stages. The main causes for mosaicism are post-zygotic event...

Minimum encoding induction (MML and MDL) is well developed theoretically and is currently being employed in two central areas of investigation in machine learning|namely, classiication learning and the learning of causal networks. MML and MDL ooer important tools for the evaluation of models, but ooer little direct help in the problem of how to conduct the search through the model space. Here w...

Il Yong KIM* Olivier DE WECK Dept. of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Queen’s University, Canada Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering Systems Division, MIT, USA Abstract This article introduces the concept of variable chromosome lengths in the context of an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA). This concept is applied to structural topology optimization with large numbers of d...

In this paper a model is proposed for distribution centers location and joint replenishment of a distribution system that is responsible for orders and product delivery to distribution centers. This distribution centers are under limitedwarehouse space and this can determine amount of requirement product by considering proposed discount.The proposed model is develop to minimize total costs cons...

Several results in the word segmentation literature suggest that description length provides a useful estimate of segmentation quality in fully unsupervised settings. However, since the space of potential segmentations grows exponentially with the length of the corpus, no tractable algorithm follows directly from the Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle. Therefore, it is necessary to gene...
