today, with the advanced statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology. purpose of this research is to predict and map the distribution of tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) using mlp neural networks combined with genetic algorithm in surface of farm. population data of pest was obtained in 2016 by sampling in 1...

We consider barrier problems associated with two and multistage stochastic convex optimization problems. We show that the barrier recourse functions at any stage form a selfconcordant family with respect to the barrier parameter. We also show that the complexity value of the first stage problem increases additively with the number of stages and scenarios. We use these results to propose a proto...

Benes and Clos networks are an important class of multistage interconnection network due to their expandability and modularity. In this article we present a survey of parallel routing algorithms in Benes and Clos Networks. These parallel routing algorithms are compared in terms of their interconnection topologies, implementation and time complexity. Index Terms : Multistage Interconnection netw...

Two procedures for computing closures in binary partial algebras (BPA) are introduced: a Fibonacci-style procedure for closures in associative BPAs, and a multistage procedure for closures in associative, commutative and idempotent BPAs. Ramifications in areas such as resolution theorem proving, graph-theoretic algorithms, formal languages and formal concept analysis are discussed. In particula...

In most practical environments, scheduling is an ongoing reactive process where the presence of real time information continually forces reconsideration and revision of pre-established schedules. Scheduling algorithms that achieve good or near optimal solutions and can efficiently adapt them to perturbations are, in most cases, preferable to those that achieve optimal ones but that cannot imple...

the mathematical modeling of fracture networks is critical for the exploration and development ofnatural resources. fractures can help the production of petroleum, water, and geothermal energy. theyalso greatly influence the drainage and production of methane gas from coal beds. orientation andspatial distribution of fractures in rocks are important factors in controlling fluid flow. the object...

this paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine thyristor controlled series compensator (tcsc) using strength pareto evolutionary algorithm (spea). the tcsc parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a spea ...

a facility layout problem is concerned with determining the best position of departments, cells, or machines on the plant. an efficient layout contributes to the overall efficiency of operations. it’s been proved that, when system characteristics change, it can cause a significant increase in material handling cost. consequently, the efficiency of the current layout decreases or is lost and it ...
