Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvolutionary Structural Optimization of Wind Bracing Connection Plates in Steel StructuresReza Kasiri, Saeid Eslamian, Theodore C. Crusberg et al.Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is one of the rules in structural engineering which has received much attention by the researchers. Today, the reduction of construction cost and weight is an important issue in the structure design. The optimization phenomenon is pursuing to fulfill this objective. Thus, presenting a design which could be both safe and economic is of special significance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2020 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Reinforced Concrete Beams and Steel Beams: A Comparative StudyJoel M. Ozimboski, Zacarias M.C. Pravia, Moacir KripkaIn order to support the structural designer with regard to the selection of structural materials, this work presents results obtained from the optimization of reinforced concrete beams and welded “I” steel beams. To achieve this objective, both problems were formulated according to Brazilian standards, considering the cost as objective function and section dimensions as design variables. For the optimization of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2020 · 6,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Adaptive Thresholding Algorithm-Based Optical Character Recognition System for Information Extraction in Complex ImagesDaniel Akinbade, Adewale Opeoluwa Ogunde, Mba Obasi Odim, Bosede Oyenike OguntundeExtracting texts from images with complex backgrounds is a major challenge today. Many existing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems could not handle this problem. As reported in the literature, some existing methods that can handle the problem still encounter major difficulties with extracting texts from images with sharp varying contours, touching word and skewed words from scanned documents and images … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2020 · 8,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing the Cuckoo Search for Generating New Particles in Particle Swarm Optimization AlgorithmFariaa Abdalmajeed Hameed, Harith Raad Hasan, Ahmed Abdullah Ahmed, Gulala Ali Hama AminThis study is focused on as Cuckoo Search (CS), one of the current meta-heuristic optimization algorithm. The CS algorithm is useful in generating and searching for the most optimum particles of important meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, known as the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), to enhance its performance. This optimization is confirmed through a benchmark online optimization and actual problems. The PSO … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2020 · 7,448 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Novel Engineered Aspergillus oryzae on Soybean Meal Fermentation and Optimization of Cultivation ConditionsXiaochun Yu, Mingshuang Wang, Xin Su, Xuejiao HanThe filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae is an important strain in fermentation industry. In this study, to test the possibilities of improving polypeptides production, the soybean meal fermentation products were used to investigate the efficiencies of four different novel recombinant engineered A. oryzae strains A. oryzae subC, A. oryzae asp, A. oryzae Ap and A. oryzae pep. Gel filtration was employed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2020 · 7,747 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Approach in Optimization Using Variant of the First Derivative (CFDSM)Tahseen Ali Jabbar, Saleh Ismael Najem, Sadoun Fahad DakhilOptimization methods are considered very important in engineering and industrial fields. Many of these methods depend on regression function for finding optimal values. In this research, a new method was adopted based on the change of the signal of the first derivative, where the update is based on the reference of the first derivative of the function. The results show … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 10 · 19 Dec 2019 · 7,356 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign of Telemedicine Robot using Behavior-based Control Architecture with Two-Step Fuzzy Logic OptimizationAndi Adriansyah, Nanda Ferdana, Setiyo Budiyanto, Julpri AndikaDesigning a telemedicine robot is a challenging task. Complexity, incomplete prior knowledge of the environment and unexpected situations set strict requirements for both the hardware and software components of the robot. Several robotics architectures have been proposed that try to cope with the above problems. The behavior-based approach has been established as the main alternative to new robot control. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 11 · 13 Nov 2019 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Hybrid Artificial Neural Network Model for Option PricingHanningtone Meshack Simiyu, Anthony Gichuhi Waititu, Jane Aduda AkinyiIn the absence of a well-defined input selection technique associated with the pure ANN models, Option pricing using pure ANN models while relaxing the assumption of constant volatility remains a challenge. The conservative drill espoused has been to make allowances for a large number of input lags with the confidence that the ability of ANN to integrate suppleness and redundancy … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 8 Aug 2019 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleParameter Optimization of Gradient Tree Boosting Using Dragonfly Algorithm in Crime Forecasting and AnalysisAlif Ridzuan Khairuddin, Nor Azizah Ali, Razana Alwee et al.Crime forecasting and analysis are very important in predicting future crime patterns and beneficial to the authorities in planning effective crime prevention measures. One of the challenges found in crime analysis is the crime data itself as its form, representation and distribution are varied and unpredictable. To handle such data, most researchers have been focusing on applying various Artificial Intelligence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 7 Aug 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Analysis of the Artificial Neural Networks Options Pricing Model Under Constant and Time-Variant VolatilitiesHanningtone Meshack Simiyu, Anthony Gichuhi Waititu, Jane Aduda AkinyiOption pricing using artificial neural networks (ANN) model while relaxing the assumption of constant volatility still remains a challenge. The conventional practice for pure ANN models has been to either model volatility using the very ANN model and have the model output fed as an input to the ANN option pricing model, or to make allowances for a large number … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2019 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
