This paper intends to present an automated mango grading system under four stages (1) pre-processing, (2) feature extraction, (3) optimal selection and (4) classification. Initially, the input image is subjected pre-processing phase, where reading, sizing, noise removal segmentation process happens. Subsequently, features are extracted from pre-processed image. To make more effective, features,...

This paper explores the use of statistical machine translation (SMT) methods for tactical natural language generation. We present results on using phrase-based SMT for learning to map meaning representations to natural language. Improved results are obtained by inverting a semantic parser that uses SMT methods to map sentences into meaning representations. Finally, we show that hybridizing thes...

The multi-input dc/dc boost converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter uses two sources such as wind, photovoltaic(PV) and battery as a storage element for hybridizing alternative energy sources. This converter draws the power from two different sources depending upon climatic condition and deliver it to the dc load individually or simultaneously. The system is applicable for D...

Hybridizing metaheuristic approaches becomes a common way to improve the efficiency of optimization methods. Many hybridizations deal with the combination of several optimization methods. In this paper we are interested in another type of hybridization, where datamining approaches are combined within an optimization process. Hence, we propose to study the interest of combining metaheuristics an...

HeLa cells synthesize heterogeneous nuclear RNA (HnRNA) in the G(1), S, and G(2) portions of the cell cycle. HnRNA prepared from these various periods was compared by RNA-DNA hybridization experiments. The results indicated that some of the HnRNA molecules were equivalent at all times in the cell cycle, but limitations in the sensitivity of the hydridization reactions, as well as in the spectru...

Using as criteria the size, abundance and developmental specificity of hybridizing mRNA sequences, we have selected from our chorion cDNA library a clone corresponding to a specific chorion protein, A4--cl. Comparison between the clone sequence and the largely known sequence of A4--cl validates the use of the cDNA library for sequence analysis of the chorion multigene families. The two major ch...

In this paper, an algorithm based on particle swarm optimization is proposed, for hybrid flow shop scheduling problem, to minimize the makespan. First an effective new approach using two decisions based on parallel priority dispatching rules is applied. Next we develop an hybridizing DPSO, that presents new components to updating velocity and position using genetic operators, with an adaptive n...

Messenger RNA from HeLa cells contains, as part of the polynucleotide chain, RNase-resistant sequences that are labeled by adenosine but not by uridine. Heterogeneous nuclear RNA also contains adenylate-rich RNase-resistant regions, but in lower proportion than messenger RNA. Hybridization to DNA of (32)P-labeled messenger RNA reveals that some of the adenylate-rich region is included in the ra...
