– In this article, Teaching-learning opposition based optimization (TLOBO) algorithm based on the natural phenomenon of teaching and learning is applied to design an optimal higher order stable low pass (LP) and high pass (HP) IIR digital filter using different design criterion. The original TeachingLearning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm has been remodeled by merging the concept of opposi...

The increase in the size of software made hard to manage the projects and caused software crisis such as late delivering, delivering with missing functions, not meeting the requirements. The main reason of software crisis is that testing is not carried out at each stage of software development cycle. When the test is left to post-delivery stages, both time and money budget increases exponential...

The stability is an important topic to plan and manage the energy in the microgrids as the same as the conventional power systems. The voltage and frequency stability is one of the most important issues recently studied in microgrids. The objectives of this paper are the modelling and designing of the components and optimal controllers for the voltage and frequency control of the AC/DC hybrid m...

The paper discusses yet another approach of clustering datasets whose cluster numbers are not known beforehand. The suggested approach effectively determines the number of clusters or partitions while running the algorithm. The proposed method is only limited to partitional clustering inspired from the K-means algorithm. In this work a Modified TeachingLearning-Based Optimization (MTLBO) is use...

This study presents a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm to obtain optimum designs for steel space buildings. The optimum design problem of three-dimensional steel frames is mathematically formulated according to provisions of LRFD-AISC (Load and Resistance factor design of American Institute of Steel Construction). Design constraints such as the strength requirements of structural members, the dis...

In this paper, a proposal for automating the acquisition of the domain for the Teaching-Learning Systems is presented. Nowadays, in the Information Age, a lot of information of any domain can be easily found in different electronic formats: handbooks, technical reports, web pages, etcetera. All this information can be used in order to build the desired TeachingLearning System. Natural Language ...

The prevalent system of Undergraduate Medical Education in india by and large thrives on a system of didactic lectures or antiquated textbooks based teachinglearning rather than dynamic patient based interaction. Couple that with minimal motivation and future incentives for students pursuing undergraduate research as well as the lack of formal training, a graduate medical doctor is not equipped...

In this paper we propose a method and its implementation for structuring multimedia-based teachinglearning material. A new lesson manager tool generates lesson graphs following a pre-selected teaching strategy. These lesson graphs are then used for implementing the curriculum of the lesson. The system software architecture and the lesson navigation system are briefly explained. The lesson navig...
