An intelligent algorithm to recommend percent vegetation cover (ARVC) for PM2.5 reduction

A COMPARISON 01- SAMPLING HliTIIODS I'OK PERCENT COVER IN TUNDRA VEGETATION

I. A <:>•.::;•. iri son of Sampling Methods for Percent Cover in Tundra Vcgclat ion Line intercept and several random point techniques are compared. Random point techniques arc found preferable to line intercept in providing error estimates and speed of execution. Several lines with random points selected from them is a good compromise between a simple random sample of an area and the speed pos...

Percent Canopy Cover and Stand Structure Statistics from the Forest Vegetation Simulator

He has been an active participant in the development of the Forest Vegetation Simulator and its extensions since 1978. Estimates of percent canopy cover generated by the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) are corrected for crown overlap using an equation presented in this paper. A comparison of the new cover estimate to some others is provided. The cover estimate is one of several describing sta...

AN IMPROVED INTELLIGENT ALGORITHM BASED ON THE GROUP SEARCH ALGORITHM AND THE ARTIFICIAL FISH SWARM ALGORITHM

This article introduces two swarm intelligent algorithms, a group search optimizer (GSO) and an artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA). A single intelligent algorithm always has both merits in its specific formulation and deficiencies due to its inherent limitations. Therefore, we propose a mixture of these algorithms to create a new hybrid optimization algorithm known as the group search-artif...

An Intelligent Algorithm based Controller for Multiple Output DC-DC Converters with Voltage Mode Weighting Factor

Multiple output DC-DC converters are widely used in many applications such as aerospace, industrial and medical equipments. The purpose of this paper is to present an intelligent control system for the multiple output DC-DC converters. In order to perform this purpose, a double ended forward DC-DC converter with three output voltages (+5 V/ 50W, +15 V/ 45W and -15 V/ 15W) is considered and anal...
