Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHeuristic Algorithm in Optimal Discrete Structural DesignsAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonThis study proposes a Heuristic Algorithm for Material Size Selection (HAMSS). It is developed to handle discrete structural optimization problems. The proposed algorithm (HAMSS), Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA) and the conventional design algorithm obtained from a structural steel design software are studied with three selected examples. The HAMSS, in fact, is the adaptation from the traditional SA. Although the SA … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Designing Framework for Ant Colony Algorithm for Managing Cognitive InsomniaRoqia Rateb, Amal Shorman, Ahmad Sami Al-Shamayleh et al.Insomnia, a condition characterized by poor sleep quality, significantly impacts cognitive function, mood, and overall well-being. Traditional treatments like medication and psychological therapies, while effective, often come with limitations such as high costs and limited scalability. This study addresses these challenges by proposing an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm-based approach to create a dynamic support network for individuals suffering from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 7 · 7 Jul 2025 · 3,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization of the Fermentation Medium of Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ΔnysB, a Tetramycin Producing Strain, by the Response Surface MethodXiao Wang, Yao Dong, Xin Chen et al.Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ΔnysB is a genetically engineered strain that produces tetramycin by blocking the competition nystatin pathway. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize its fermentation medium composition. Taking the yield of tetramycin as the response value, the effects of corn starch, glucose, fish peptone, (NH4)2SO4, KH2PO4, and CH3COONa on the yield of tetramycin were investigated by the Plackett-Burman … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2024 · 5,319 accessesView PDFCite
