Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSwarm Optimization Techniques for Segmenting Gel Electrophoresis ImagesSara Ibrahim Ibrahim, Mohamed Abd Allah Makhlouf, Ghada.S. El-Tawel, M.E. WahedGel Electrophoresis (GE) are discussed as the main tool to dissociate DNA sequences. It helps in analyzing the genome such that each image resulting from it consists of lanes that include several bands. Image segmentation plays the foremost role in image processing. It helps in producing accurate results in medical diagnosis. Image segmentation works by dividing an image into regions … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2016 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLANDFILLS MULTIPLE GOAL OPTIMIZATION USING EQUATIONLESS QUALITATIVE RELATIONSMirko DohnalLandfills are unique and difficult to measure. Their optimization must be solved with a severe lack of information. The privilege of not utilizing information items based on common sense cannot be afforded, as this represents an important part of the available ad hoc landfill knowledge related to e.g., economics, sociology. Therefore, a flexible, formal tool for dealing with the common … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract“OPTIMIZATION OF MULTI-COMMODITIES CONSUMER SUPPLY CHAINS FOR-PART I-MODELING”Zeinab Haji Abolhasani, Romeo M. Marian, Lee LoungThis study and its companions (Part II, Part III) will concentrate on optimizing a class of supply chain problems known as Multi-Commodities Consumer Supply Chain (MCCSC) problem. MCCSC problem belongs to Production-Distribution (P-D) planning category. It aims to determine facilities location, consumers’ allocation and facilities configuration to minimize total Cost (CT) of the entire network. These facilities can be manufacturer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2013 · 7,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMIZATION MODEL OF SELECTIVE CUTTING FOR TIMBER HARVEST PLANNING BASED ON A SIMULATED ANNEALING APPROACHMunaisyah Abdullah, Salwani Abdullah, Abdul Razak Hamdan, Roslan IsmailAn optimization model for Timber Harvest Planning (THP) is used to form harvest areas with the objective of maximizing the tree harvest volume subject to harvest regulations. Most optimization models for THP currently in use are based on clear cutting and restricted to adjacency constraints to prevent the creation of large clear-cut openings in the forest. However, an optimization model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2013 · 7,313 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Parametric Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle Powered by Solar EnergyFrancesco Calise, Claudio Capuozzo, Laura VanoliThis study presents the simulation and performance analysis of a regenerative and superheated Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). To this scope, anew simulation model has been developed. The model is based on zero-dimensional energy and mass balances for all the components of the system. Shell and tube heat expanders with single shell and double tube pass have been chosen. Pump and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 May 2013 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Electricity Planning Comprise Renewable Energy and Feed-In TariffHo Wai Shin, Haslenda HashimProblem statement: Mitigation of global warming and energy crisis has called upon the need of an efficient tool for electricity planning. This study thus presents an electricity planning tool that incorporates RE with Feed in-Tariff (FiT) for various sources of Renewable Energy (RE) to minimize grid-connected electricity generation cost as well as to satisfy nominal electricity demand and CO2 emission … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Drives and Control Integrated Time-Domain Dynamic Analysis and Modeling Approach Applied To Ultra-Precision Machine ToolsTianjian Li, Shijin Chen, Haijun Zhang, Kai ChengProblem statement: Machines dynamic performance depends not only upon the mechanical structure and components but also the drives and control system. However, the design of the machines is still at the nascent stage by working on an individual machine basis, hence lacks generic scientific approach and design guideline. Approach: Using computer models integrated drives and control system to predict the … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 8,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Neuro Fuzzy Technique for Process Grain Scheduling of Parallel JobsS. V. Sudha, K. ThanushkodiProblem statement: We present development of neural network based fuzzy inference system for scheduling of parallel Jobs with the help of a real life workload data. The performance evaluation of a parallel system mainly depends on how the processes are co scheduled? Various co scheduling techniques available are First Come First Served, Gang Scheduling, Flexible Co Scheduling and Agile Algorithm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 14 Jul 2011 · 6,457 accessesView PDFCite
