Quantum computers are computational devices that use the dynamics of atomic-scale objects to store and manipulate information. Only a few, small-scale quantum computers have been built to date, but quantum computers can in principle outperform all possible classical computers in significant ways. Quantum computation is therefore a subject of considerable theoretical interest that may also have ...

Welcome to genetic programming, where the forces of nature are used to automatically evolve computer programs. We give a flavour of where GP has been successfully applied (it is far too wide an area to cover everything) and interesting current and future research but start with a tutorial of how to get started and finish with common pitfalls to avoid.

The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...

Much of evolutionary computation was inspired by Mendelian genetics. But modern genetics has since advanced considerably, revealing that genes are not simply parameter settings, but interactive cogs in a complex chemical machine. At the same time, an increasing number of evolutionary computation domains are evolving non-parameterized mechanisms such as neural networks or symbolic computer progr...

background: the present study was formulated in order to determine pol­ymorphism of dihydropteroate synthetase gene (dhps) of plasmodium vivax (p . vivax ) in hormozgan province, southern iran and mutations at codons 382, 383, 512, 553, and 585 associated with resistance of p. vivax to sulfadoxine. method : one-hundred eighteen isolates of p. vivax were prepared within 2007-2008 to determine di...

the objective of the present study was to evaluate the genetic structure and diversity of 16 generations of native fowls of west azerbaijan province, iran using the pedigree data collected between 1994 and 2012. inbreeding coefficient (f), pedigree completeness index (pci), parameters of the probability of gene origin and other parameters related to the genetic structure were estimated using th...

background: fasciola hepatica and f. gigantica are the causative agents of fasciolosis in domestic animals and humans. based on the morphometric criteria, differential diagnosis between them is problematic. in addition, intermediate forms of fasciola have been found in iran, which makes the differentiation more difficult. the aim of the present study was to provide molecular evidence for the ex...

In essence, data mining consists of extracting knowledge from data. This paper proposes an evolutionary system for discovering fuzzy classi cation rules. Fuzzy logic is useful for data mining especially in the case for performing classi cation task. Three methods were used to extract fuzzy classi cation rules using Evolutionary Algorithms: (1) genetic selection small number of large number of f...
