In humans, the attitude toward risk is not neutral and is dissimilar between bets involving gains and bets involving losses. The existence and prevalence of these decision features in non-human primates are unclear. In addition, only a few studies have tried to simulate the evolution of agents based on their attitude toward risk. Therefore, we stil...

There are some advantages of parallel robots over serial ones, such as strong structure, big payload ratio with respect to the weight, and good dynamic response. The disadvantages of the parallel robots are the difficulty of solving the forward kinematics and the limited workspace. We apply the advantages of both neural networks and genetic algorit...

Linear proportional solenoid (LPS) is widely applied in different linear motion control systems as the electromagnetic actuator since its high reliability and low cost. LPS is difficult to optimize by changing a single variable due to amounts of structural design parameters, and each design parameter has a nonlinear relationship with the static ele...

The main objective of the present paper is to propose a new boundary element modeling technique for simulation and optimization of three-temperature micropolar magneto-thermoviscoelastic problems in anisotropic porous smart structures, where we implemented the genetic algorithm (GA), as a method of optimization based on the free form deformation (F...

Estimation of thermal conductivity of charring composite is a key issue for both design and optimization of an ablative thermal protection system. This paper presents a method for predicting temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of charring ablator using genetic algorithm and cubic spline interpolation, and a special ablative material composed...

In this study, a methodology has been proposed that can be used to estimate the peak unit discharge for all the watersheds in the northern part of Cyprus. Thus, the Soil Conservation Service method was used to determine the unit hydrographs of 366 watersheds available in the study area. Through the Digital Elevation Model with a spatial resolution ...

The feature selection is an essential data preprocessing stage in data mining. The core principle of feature selection seems to be to pick a subset of possible features by excluding features with almost no predictive information as well as highly associated redundant features. In the past several years, a variety of meta-heuristic methods were intr...

Reducible sugar solution has been produced from waste broken rice by a novel saccharification process using a combination of bio-enzyme (bakhar) and commercial enzyme (α-amylase). The reducible sugar solution thus produced is a promising raw material for the production of bioethanol using the fermentation process. Response surface methodology (RSM)...
In this work, the Ferrioxalate complex was used to mineralize the widely used antibiotic amoxicillin (AMX). The effect of operational parameters such as Fe3+ concentration, the molar ratio (Oxalate/Fe3+), and initial pH was studied for achieving high efficiency of degradation and mineralization. The effect of inorganic ions in the degradation of AM...
The optimisation of the cross sectional geometry of cold-formed steel sections has been the subject of numerous past studies. These walls consist of intermittently placed cold-formed steel studs, lined most commonly with gypsum plasterboards. Experimental evidence has shown that the restraints provided by the wall sheathing can have a significant i...
