Abstract Harris hawks optimization (HHO) is a population-based metaheuristic algorithm, inspired by the hunting strategy and cooperative behavior of hawks. In this study, HHO hybridized with 10 different chaotic maps to adjust its critical parameters. Hybridization performed using four methods. First, 15 test functions unimodal multimodal features are used for analysis determine most successful...

while in Eq. ~42! of Ref. @1#, line 8 should be (w12w2 1w3) instead of (w12w21w3) . With these two changes, both equations are now invariant under interchange of the nonlinear parameters w1 and w3 , as is required by the symmetry of the electron interaction operator. Harris @2# has shown that the formulas of Remiddi are equivalent to the older, more general formulas of Fromm and Hill @3# in the...

Our goal is to enhance matching speed which is important for image engineering. Second Partial Derivative operator in Harris corner detector is directly used to compute the similarity between corners. Then initial matches are obtained. The algorithm is contrasted with normalized cross-correlation and method based on horizontal and vertical gradient. Its computational complexity is reduced and m...

the current study was conducted in order to examine the effectiveness of shelf procedure in symptomatic adult patients due to hip dysplasia. this study is retrospective and was performed on patients who had undergone surgery by one orthopaedic surgical team during the past 20 years. twenty-three men and twenty-three women were enrolled in the study with a mean age of 29.3 years at the time of o...

Session I 9:30 – 10:45 AM Andrew Miles: Roanoke College Department of Philosophy Good, Evil and Well-being: Sam Harris’ Scientific Approach to Ethics One of the most controversial debates in ethics is how to define Good and Evil. Do “good” actions necessarily adhere to commandments set by a God? Or are there many different, equally valid definitions based on cultural norms? Neuroscientist and a...
