web usage mining (wum) is the automatic discovering of hidden informationof user access pattern from the web log data. frequent pattern discovery is one ofthe main techniques in wum that can be used to implement recommender systems,forecast user`s navigational behaviour, and personalize web sites. many algorithmshave been suggested on obtaining frequent user navigation patterns. this paperprese...

in static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. in this paper, the static scheduling problem of automated guided vehicles in container terminal is solved by the network simplex algorithm (nsa). the algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...

in this paper, we examine target detection in the surveillance channels of fm-based passive bistatic radars (fbpbrs) in the presence of interference signals in the reference channels of these systems. to do so, we propose a new signal conditioning algorithm to remove interference signals form reference channel. simulation results show that the proposed signal conditioning algorithm outperform t...

this paper uses integrated data envelopment analysis (dea) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) and then applies integrated dea ranking method as a criterion to modify genetic algorithm (ga) for finding pareto optimal solutions of a multi objective programming (mop) problem. the researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify ga to d...

abstract: regarding the growing use of distributed generation resources, optimal design of these units is necessary in the power system especially in the distribution network. in this paper, cuckoo optimization algorithm with multiple purposes was used to determine optimal location and size of distributed generation resources. the investigated purposes include reducing line losses, reducing med...

wireless sensor networks are the new generation of networks that typically are formed great numbers of nodes and the communications of these nodes are done as wireless. the main goal of these networks is collecting data from neighboring environment of network sensors. since the sensor nodes are battery operated and there is no possibility of charging or replacing the batteries, the lifetime of ...

a gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation , based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum . the device is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. this orientation changes much less in response to a given external torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high rate of spin. since exter...

in practice, obtaining the global optimum for the economic dispatch {bf (ed)}problem with ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones is presents difficulties. this paper presents a new andefficient method for solving the economic dispatch problem with non-smooth cost functions using afuzzy adaptive genetic algorithm (faga). the proposed algorithm  deals  with the issue ofcontrolling the ex...

distributed generations (dgs) are utilized to supply the active and reactive power in the transmission and distribution systems. these types of power sources have many benefits such as power quality enhancement, voltage deviation reduction, power loss reduction, load shedding reduction, reliability improvement, etc. in order to reach the above benefits, the optimal placement and sizing of dg is...
