Optimization of turning process is a non-linear optimization with constrains and it is difficult for the conventional optimization algorithms to solve this problem. The purpose of present study is to demonstrate the potential of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) for optimization of multipass turning process. This algorithm is inspired by competition mechanism among imperialists and coloni...

During interaction, speakers acquire characteristics more similar to characteristics of their interlocutors' speech and other behaviors; this is known as convergence. In addition to non-linguistic characteristics such as posture (Dijksterhuis and Bargh 2001) and fidgeting movements (Chartrand and Bargh 1999), this has been found in many characteristics of speech, including pitch (Babel and Bula...

In this paper‎, ‎following a very recent‎ ‎and new approach‎, ‎we further generalize recently introduced‎ ‎summability methods‎, ‎namely‎, ‎$I$-statistical convergence and‎ ‎$I$-lacunary statistical convergence (which extend the important‎ ‎summability methods‎, ‎statistical convergence and lacunary‎ ‎statistical convergence using ideals of $mathbb{N}$) and‎ ‎introduce the notions of $I$-statis...

A convergence analysis of a fuz.y relaxation algorithm for image contrast enhancement is f i r s provided, which shows that the convergence statement about the algorithm cannot be guaranteed. Thereupon, a new f u z q relaxation algorithm with good convergence properties for image contrast enhancement is presented and experimental results show the validiry ofthe proposed algorithm.

studies pertaining convergence and its benefits for developing and underdeveloped countries, specifically latin american countries and the caribbean islands are essential because they can create the necessary grounds for further growth and development. the aim of this study is to analyze the economic growth of latin american countries and the caribbeans after their beta and sigma convergences d...
