an important step in considering of gene expression data is obtained groups of genes that have similarity patterns. biclustering methods was recently introduced for discovering subsets of genes that have coherent values across a subset of conditions. the las algorithm relies on a heuristic randomized search to find biclusters. in this paper, we introduce biclustering las algorithm and then appl...

resource limitation in zero time may cause to some profitable projects not to be selected in project selection problem, thus simultaneous project portfolio selection and scheduling problem has received significant attention. in this study, budget, investment costs and earnings are considered to be stochastic. the objectives are maximizing net present values of selected projects and minimizing v...

clustering is the process of dividing a set of input data into a number of subgroups. the members of each subgroup are similar to each other but different from members of other subgroups. the genetic algorithm has enjoyed many applications in clustering data. one of these applications is the clustering of images. the problem with the earlier methods used in clustering images was in selecting in...

wireless sensor networks (wsns) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing different environmental phenomena and sending the collected data to the base station or sink. since sensor nodes are made of cheap components and are deployed in remote and uncontrolled environments, they are prone to failure; thus, maintaining a network with its proper functions even when und...

in this paper, the optimal design of a three phase surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor has been done by particle swarm optimization and bees algorithm. this machine has been designed for high speed applications, and an epoxy and glass fiber bandage is used for permanent magnet protection against centrifugal forces. the optimization has been done by new design equations to improve...

dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...

according to this fact that wind is now a part of global energy portfolio and due to unreliable and discontinuous production of wind energy; prediction of wind power value is proposed as a main necessity. in recent years, various methods have been proposed for wind power prediction. in this paper the prediction structure involves feature selection and use of artificial neural network (ann). in ...

the multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (tsp), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. although the mtsp is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. this paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...

the aim of this study was to estimate suspended sediment by the ann model, dt with cart algorithm and different types of src, in ten stations from the lorestan province of iran. the results showed that the accuracy of ann with levenberg-marquardt back propagation algorithm is more than the two other models, especially in high discharges. comparison of different intervals in models showed that r...
