Genetic data are becoming increasingly important in ecology and conservation biology. This article presents a novel method for estimating population size from DNA profiles obtained from a random sample of individuals. The underlying idea is that the degree of biological relationship between individuals in the sample reflects the size of the population and that DNA profiles provide information a...

The genomes of all extant cetaceans are characterized by the presence of the so-called common cetacean DNA satellite. In the mysticetes (whalebone whales) the repeat length of the satellite is 1,760 bp. In the odontocetes (toothed whales), other than the family Delphinidae, the repeat length is usually approximately 1,740 bp. The Delphinidae are characterized by a repeat length of approximately...

Nowadays, improvement in power system performance is essential to obtaine economic and technical benifits. To achieve this, optimize the large number of parameters based on optimal flow(OPF). For solving OPF problem efficiently, it needs robust fast optimization techniques. This paper proposes application a newly developed hybrid Whale Sine Cosine algorithm solve OPF. It has been implemented fo...

<p>The cooperation search algorithm (CSA) duplicates teamwork in every part of the company. This paper presents an approach to setting automatic voltage regulator (AVR) with proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control based on CSA. To get performance proposed method, this uses maximum overshoot, rise time, settling and error. whale optimization (WOA), grasshopper (GOA), particle swarm ...

To solve the problem of common unsteady inverse heat conduction in industrial field, a real-time solution method improving whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) and parameter-adaptive proportional-integral-differential (PID) is proposed paper. A feedback control system with IWOA-PID, which can inversely boundary flux, established. The deviation between calculated temperature measured point obtain...

The Omura's whale (Balaenoptera omurai) was described as a new species in 2003 and then soon after as an ancient lineage basal to a Bryde's/sei whale clade. Currently known only from whaling and stranding specimens primarily from the western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans, there exist no confirmed field observations or ecological/behavioural data. Here we present, to our knowledge, the first...

Whale carcasses create remarkable habitats in the deep-sea by producing concentrated sources of organic matter for a food-deprived biota as well as places of evolutionary novelty and biodiversity. Although many of the faunal patterns on whale falls have already been described, the biogeography of these communities is still poorly known especially from basins other than the NE Pacific Ocean. The...

Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and particle swarm (PSO) have been used individually usually. However, a separate use of them has limitation. Hybridizing WOA with PSO is expected to evolve solutions better due the cooperation between whales seabirds. Developing such kind model focus this research. A framework further proposed best utilize hybridizations for developing simulation-based approa...
