potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. this paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on genetic algorithm (ga) optimization and morphological operators. the proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Increasing economy’s resistance against the menace of sanctions, various risks, shocks, and internal and external threats are one of the main national policies which can be implemented through bank investments. Investment project selection is a complex and multi-criteria decision-making process that is influenced by multiple and often some conflicting objectives. This paper studies portfolio inve...

in this study, a hybrid algorithm is presented to tackle multi-variables robust design problem. the proposed algorithm comprises neural networks (nns) and co-evolution genetic algorithm (cga) in which neural networks are as a function approximation tool used to estimate a map between process variables. furthermore, in order to make a robust optimization of response variables, co-evolution algor...

the relation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) and some diseases has been concerned by many researchers. also the missing snps are quite common in genetic association studies. hence, this article investigates the relation between existing snps in dnmt1 of human chromosome 19 with colorectal cancer. this article aims is to presents an imputation method for missing snps not at random...
