the objective of the present study was to estimate genetic trends for lactation milk yield, persistency of milk yield, somatic cell count and interval between first and second calving in holstein dairy cows of iran. the dataset consisted of 210,625 test day and 25,883 first parity cows with milk yield recorded from july 2002 to september 2007 comprising 97 herds in iran. breeding values of anim...

In this article, a new combined approach of a decision tree and clustering is presented to predict the transmission of genetic diseases. In this article, the performance of these algorithms is compared for more accurate prediction of disease transmission under the same condition and based on a series of measures like the positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, sensitivit...

in this paper, we develop a capacitated location-covering model considering interval values for demand and service parameters. we also consider flexibility on distance standard for covering demand nodes by the servers. we use the satisfaction degree to represent the constraint of service capacity. the proposed model belongs to the class of mixed integer programming models. our model can be redu...

abstract— peer-to-peer ( p2p ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . this paper investigates the use of genetic ...

in this study test-day records of milk (kg), fat (g), and protein (g) yields, somatic cell score (scs, cells/ml) collected by animal breeding center of iran during 2007 and 2009 were used to estimate genetic parameters using random regression model. models with different order of legendre polynomials were compared using bayesian information criterion (bic).for milk, fat yield and scs genetic an...

In this paper a model is proposed for distribution centers location and joint replenishment of a distribution system that is responsible for orders and product delivery to distribution centers. This distribution centers are under limitedwarehouse space and this can determine amount of requirement product by considering proposed discount.The proposed model is develop to minimize total costs cons...

although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. but, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. this paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. a mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...
