the helicopter-borne electromagnetic (hem) frequency-domain exploration method is an airborne electromagnetic (aem) technique that is widely used for vast and rough areas for resistivity imaging. the vast amount of digitized data flowing from the hem method requires an efficient and accurate inversion algorithm. generally, the inverse modelling of hem data in the first step requires a precise a...

introduction: raman spectroscopy, that is a spectroscopic technique based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, can provide valuable information about molecular vibrations, so using this technique we can study molecular changes in a sample. material and methods: in this research, 153 raman spectra obtained from normal and dried skin samples. baseline and electrical noise were eliminat...

scheduling is to determine the priorities or arrange the activities to meet the needs, limitations and certain goals. because the time is always a limited resource, all activities should be scheduled to use optimally and certainly the resource. gravitational force algorithm, like other evolutionary algorithms, is inspired by nature. the effect of the gravity on the objects reciprocally and to a...

nowadays project management is a key component in introductory operations management. the educators and the researchers in these areas advocate representing a project as a network and applying the solution approaches for network models to them to assist project managers to monitor their completion. in this paper, we evaluated project’s completion time utilizing the q-learning algorithm. so the ...

in this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the noisy speech in the framework of dual-channel speech enhancement. the new method is a hybrid optimization algorithm, which employs the  combination of  the  conventional θ-pso and the shuffled sub-swarms particle optimization (sspso) technique. it is known that the θ-pso algorithm has better optimization performance than standard pso al...

background: epilepsy is a severe disorder of the central nervous system that predisposes  the person to recurrent seizures. fifty million people worldwide suffer from  epilepsy; after alzheimer's and stroke, it is the third widespread nervous disorder. objective: in this paper, an algorithm to detect the onset of epileptic seizures  based on the analysis of brain electrical signals (eeg) has be...

template matching is a widely used technique in many of image processing and machine vision applications. in this paper we propose a new as well as a fast and reliable template matching algorithm which is invariant to rotation, scale, translation and brightness (rstb) changes. for this purpose, we adopt the idea of ring projection transform (rpt) of image. in the proposed algorithm, two novel s...

assigning a set of objects to groups such that objects in one group or cluster are more similar to each other than the other clusters’ objects is the main task of clustering analysis. sspco optimization algorithm is anew optimization algorithm that is inspired by the behavior of a type of bird called see-see partridge. one of the things that smart algorithms are applied to solve is the problem ...

apriori algorithm is the most popular algorithm in association rules mining. one of the problems the apriori algorithm is that the user must specify a minimum support threshold. consider that a user wants to implement the apriori algorithm on a database with millions of transactions; users will not have the necessary knowledge about all the transactions in the database and therefore cannot dete...
