in this work at the first step calcium hydroxide nano-particles were synthesized via sono-chemical method at room temperature. at the second step aminated multi-walled carbon nano-tubes was prepared via chemical modification of surfaces of cnt. finally modified-mwcnt and ca(oh)2 were added to paraloid matrix by aid of ultrasonic irradiation. paraloid-modified-mwcnt-ca(oh)2 nanocomposite was use...

Partial classification popularly known as nugget discovery comes under descriptive knowledge discovery. It involves mining rules for a target class of interest. Classification “If-Then” rules are the most sought out by decision makers since they are the most comprehensible form of knowledge mined by data mining techniques. The rules have certain properties namely the rule metrics which are used...

This paper introduce one innovations into the world of multimodal function optimization: a new Cultural Algorithm (CA) based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) with a new adaptive mutation (AM-CGA). The idea is to use knowledge about local optima found during the search with other techniques utilized for escape from local minimum in multimodal functions. The search knowledge was maintained using a Cultu...

In this article, a multipopulation Cultural Algorithm (MP-CA) is proposed to solve Job Shop Scheduling Problems (JSSP). The idea of using multiple populations in a Cultural Algorithm is implemented for the first time in JSSP. The proposed method divides the whole population into a number of sub-populations. On each sub-population, a local CA is applied which includes its own population space as...

Cultural algorithm (CA) is a new evolutionary program inspired by sociology and archaeology theories that assisting formulating cultural evaluation. Its use to solve optimization problems. This paper analyzed the beamforming of uniform circular antenna array (UCAA) via using CA algorithm. The sidelobe level (SLL) minimized adjusting appropriate weight for each element. In addition, optimal beam...

In this study an efficient meta-heuristic is proposed for layout optimization of truss structures by combining cellular automata (CA) and firefly algorithm (FA). In the proposed meta-heuristic, called here as cellular automata firefly algorithm (CAFA), a new equation is presented for position updating of fireflies based on the concept of CA. Two benchmark examples of truss structures are presen...

In image matching research, how to ensure that best match’s accuracy of the premise and a significant reduction in the amount of computing is the focus of concern by researchers. Search strategy to find the best match location of the image matching process to determine the amount of computing of image matching, in the existing image matching method are used to traverse search strategy, it is di...

The Land Bridge – Cultural Algorithms Program Simulation (L-CAPS) system is a functional interface for learning group behavior using Cultural Algorithms (CA). It enables the Cultural Algorithms process to implicitly communicate with, modify, and evaluate autonomous game agents restricted to an external virtual world. The L-CAPS system extends the work of Kinnaird-Heether (Reynolds & Kinnaird-He...

Social modeling applies computational methods and techniques to the analysis of social processes and human behavior. Cultural algorithms (CA’s) are evolutionary systems which utilize agent technology and which supports any evolutionary strategy like genetic algorithm, evolutionary algorithm or swarm intelligence or ant algorithms. CA’s have been used for modeling the evolution of complex social...
