This article presents an information retrieval system (IRS) using genetic algorithm to increase the performance and efficiency of Text to Matrix Generator (TMG).This paper presents an extension in previous work of Text to Matrix Generator (TMG). In this paper, we proposed a genetic algorithm approach in Text to Matrix Generator for information retrieval. This experimental result shows an improv...

This study applying a mathematical approach to select facilities for the emergent rescue plan before the natural disasters, such as earthquakes, typhoons and floods. The hazardous area is divided into sub-area by the capacity of medical treatments and the distance between the habitants, and the emergent medical station is located at the position of the seed of this sub-area. When if any disaste...

A genetic algorithm technique for the approximation of nonlinear transfer functions is proposed in this paper. It is shown that the GA approximation method gives better accuracy than the classical Chebyshev approximation, which is sometimes considered to be the best one on the minimax criterion. Application of this technique to behavioral-level simulation is also discussed. Keywords– genetic al...

The character recognition (CR) mechanization is being intensively investigated in the pattern recognition research area. CR automation means translating images of characters into a text; in other words, it represents an attempt to simulate the human reading process. CR is very difficult to accomplish owing to various issues such as the inconsistency of human writing, the segmentation of words i...

The abundance of powerful workstations makes course-grained parallelization an obvious enhancement to many optimization techniques, including genetic algorithms [Gol89, DM97]. While initial modifications have beenmade toGADO (Genetic Algorithm forDesignOptimization [Ras98, RHG97]), such changes have not been carefully analyzed for potential impacts on quality. More generally, parallelizationhas...

the gross calorific value (gcv) or heating value of a sample of fuel is one of the important properties which defines the energy of the fuel. many researchers have proposed empirical formulas for estimating gcv value of coal. there are some known methods like bomb calorimeter for determining the gcv in the laboratory. but these methods are cumbersome, costly and time consuming. in this paper, m...

A watershed management program is usually based on the results of watershed modeling. Accurate modeling results are decided by the appropriate parameters and input data. Rainfall is the most important input for watershed modeling. Precipitation characteristics, such as rainfall intensity and duration, usually exhibit significant spatial variation, even within small watersheds. Therefore, proper...

Completing a construction project with the least time and cost is critical in a competitive environment. However, shortening the duration of any construction activity usually requires the engagement of additional labour and plant or the adoption of alternative construction techniques, and these usually add extra cost liabilities to the contractor. To minimise the total costs associated with sch...

In this paper, the Static Var Compensator (SVC) has been used to improve dynamic behaviour of power system. To do this, a new objective function is formulated considering power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement and loadability margin decrease. Other contribution of this research is proposing a novel structure for Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm through modifying the initia...

The optimal use of electrical and fuel energy in a chiller system, like absorption chiller system, is important in achieving economical system operation. The related research work, including the derivation of a thermal model for the system by an integration of component models can be a tedious task, based on the technology today. The numerous assumptions associated with the governing equations ...
