Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is very interesting population based swarm optimization technique. This technique is motivated by means of extraordinary nature of honey bees. ABC algorithm commonly used to get to the bottom of nonlinear and complex problems. Comparable to other population based strategies, ABC also has some negative aspects. It is computationally steep because of its slug...

ion category is used to express concept of work in FRBR sense [Pla98].Similarly, FRBR concepts as manifestation or item can be subsumed under ABCmodel concept of artifact. Figure B.7 shows hierarchy of ABC model concepts. ExamplesABC model authors provided following example of model use. Consider follow-ing narrative language description:"On June 14 2001 at the Wesley Hospit...

Con el objetivo de evaluar la inclusión proporciones harina hojas orégano (HHO) en alimento balanceado comercial (ABC) pollos engorde, se cuantificó fase inicio y peso corporal (PC), ganancia diaria (GDP), consumo diario (CDA), índice conversión alimenticia (ICA) mortalidad (MO) un diseño experimental completamente al azar. Se utilizaron 208 pollitos línea Ross distribuidos cuatro tratamientos:...

This study mainly focuses on enhancing the overall efficiency of gas transmission networks. The authors developed a model with detailed characteristics of compressor and pressure reduction stations. Following this, they suggested three different systems with gas turbine including: organic rankine cycle (ORC), air bottoming cycle (ABC), and ABC along with steam injection (SI-ABC). In addition, u...

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein superfamily constitutes one of the largest protein families known in plants. In this report, we performed a complete inventory of ABC protein genes in Vitis vinifera, the whole genome of which has been sequenced. By comparison with ABC protein members of Arabidopsis thaliana, we identified 135 putative ABC proteins with 1 or 2 NBDs in V. vinifera. Of these...

Hybrid organic-inorganic films were grown by molecular layer deposition (MLD) with a three-step ABC reaction sequence using (A) trimethylaluminum (TMA), (B) ethanolamine (EA), and (C) maleic anhydride (MA) at 90 °C. Very large steady state mass gains of 1854-4220 ng/(cm(2) cycle) were measured depending on reaction conditions. These mass gains are much larger than typical mass gains for surface...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recent nature inspired (NIA) algorithms based on swarming metaphor. Proposed by Karaboga in 2005, ABC has proven to be a robust and efficient algorithm for solving global optimization problems over continuous space. However, it has been observed that the structure of ABC is such that it supports exploration more in comparison to exploitation. In or...

The costing and data mining of logistics costs will become increasingly important to all firms seeking competitive advantages. Activity Based Costing (ABC) is considered as the optimized and most promising method of costing and controlling logistics cost now, and logistics cost data mining based on ABC is playing a very important role in business management. The paper firstly analyses the princ...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm simulates the foraging behavior of honey bee colonies. ABC is an optimization technique, which is used in finding the best solution from all feasible solutions. However, there is still an insufficiency in ABC regarding improvement in exploitation and convergence speed. In order to improve the performance of ABC we embedded PSO into ABC. As PSO has memory, k...
