Back-calculation of pillar foundation for Skjeggestad Bridge

A Genetic Algorithm for Optimal Bridge Pillar Location

A genetic algorithm for optimal location of bridge pillars is introduced. Instead of encoding in the chromossome the various geometric parameters needed to completely define the geometry of the bridge, domain knowledge is introduced and only the position of the bridge pillars and a parameter that defines the beam height from span values are used as design variables. Additional domain knowledge ...

Models for length back-calculation in Caspian Kutum, Rutilus kutum (Pisces: Cyprinidae) from the Caspian Sea

The Caspian Kutum, Rutilus Kutum (Kamensky 1901) specimens were sampled by purse seine in the northern Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea at four locations:  Feridoonkenar Shahed, Mahmoudabad Khoram, Lariim Azadi fishing coop, and the Shiroud River in Ramsar city. “Back-calculation” is a retrospective method of estimating the characteristics of growth of fish in terms of length and rate of growth...

Probsy -a System for the Calculation of Probabilities in the Card Game Bridge D Probsy -a System for the Calculation of Probabilities in the Card Game Bridge

We present an application designated to the calculation of probabilities in the card game bridge. We describe in detail how a Bayesian network is dynamically generated depending on the case presented to the application. A communication language which simpliies the speciication of certain kinds of evidence and the requests for probabilities of complex conditions is also presented. We explain how...
