This study is focused on the effects of electroslag remelting by prefused slag (CaO, Al2O3, and CaF2) on macrostructure and reduction of inclusions in the medical grad of 316LC (316LVM) stainless steel. Results showed that in order to obtain uniform ingot structures during electroslag remelting, the shape and depth of the molten pool should be carefully controlled. High melting rates lead to de...

Random intersection graphs was introduced by SingerCohen [6]. These graphs have recently received considerable attention in the literature and been used in diverse applications [1,2,7–13]. In a general random intersection graph, each node is assigned a set of items in some random manner, and any two nodes establish an undirected edge in between if and only if they have at least a certain number...

introduction: indoor swimming pools are the most important recreational centres. swimming pool water is responsible for the transmission of parasitic diseases. this study was performed to determine the rate of parasitic contamination and some physio- chemical parameters of indoor swimming pools in urmia during 2002. materials and methods: this study was a descriptive-cross sectional one in whic...

objective(s):from the ancient era, emergence of agriculture in the connecting region of mesopotamia and the iranian plateau at the foothills of the zagros mountains, made iranian gene pool as an important source of populating the region. it has differentiated the population spread and different language groups. in order to trace the maternal genetic affinity between iranians and other populatio...

background: contamination of swimming pools’ water can lead to the transfer of different diseases to humans. the aim of this study was to investigate the quality of water in kerman swimming pools. methods: in this cross-sectional study, sampling from swimming pools was performed before and after swimming, every week. total number of samples collected was 150 samples. samples were investigated i...

Key Management Scheme is an important factor to improve the safety performance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The existing schemes can’t simultaneously meet the high demand of connectivity and anti-destruction to WSNs. We propose a key management scheme base on random Hash chain. The scheme firstly does multidimensional treatment for the key pool, and then uses a Hash Function to hash the ...

In many occasions in real life, we are faced with the problem of classification of partially labeled data, or semi-supervised learning. We consider the special case of scarcely labeled data or when the labeled data is insufficient, and present a principled method which implements active learning in scarcely labeled data to enhance the performance of the learner. This method is based on the rece...

The Wright Fisher model of evolution attempts to simulate genetic drift wherein each individual in a generation produces an infinite and equal amount of gametes. The subsequent generation is a random draw of 2N gametes from this pool. In other words, the gene frequency in the next generation is composed of 2N draws from the gene frequency of the current generation. Mutations are randomly droppe...

Although evolutionary algorithms have often been used to address VRPs and VRPTWs [1], applications to other routing problems such as period routing and inventory routing are less common. In this paper, a versatile hybrid evolutionary algorithm is developed that can be used for cyclic inventory routing and a variety of capacitated and periodic vehicle routing problems. First, a random insertion ...
