various synthesis methods have been proposed in the literature for reversible and quantum logic circuits. however, there are few algorithms to optimize an existing circuit with multiple constraints simultaneously. in this paper, some heuristics in genetic algorithms (ga) to optimize a given circuit in terms of quantum cost, number of gates, location of garbage outputs, and delay, are proposed. ...

the finite element method (fem) is one of advanced methods in modeling of solid mechanics used in the design and analyzing of prosthesis in the human body. one of the important factors in designing a femur (the linkage between basin and knee) which is under complicated stresses is to minimize the amount of the stress in the components of the prosthesis due to the body weight. in this research t...

this paper considers the job scheduling problem in virtual manufacturing cells (vmcs) with the goal of minimizing two objectives namely, makespan and total travelling distance. to solve this problem two algorithms are proposed: traditional non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) and knowledge-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (kbnsga-ii). the difference between these algor...

Feature selection is of great importance in Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis. This problem has been solved using some meta-heuristic algorithms such as: GA, PSO, ACO, SA and so on. In this work two novel hybrid meta-heuristic algorithms i.e. Sequential GA and LA (SGALA) and Mixed GA and LA (MGALA), which are based on Genetic algorithm and learning automata for QSAR f...

quantitative structure-activity relationship (qsar) models were employed for prediction the activity of p2x7 receptor antagonists. a data set consisted of 50 purine derivatives was utilized in the model construction where 40 and 10 of these compounds were in the training and test sets respectively. a suitable group of calculated molecular descriptors was selected by employing stepwise multiple ...

typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. these errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. the aim of approximate record matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. in this paper, an algorithm for approximate record matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...

Over the past few decades great efforts were made to solve uncertain hybrid optimization problems. The n-Queen problem is one of such problems that many solutions have been proposed for. The traditional methods to solve this problem are exponential in terms of runtime and are not acceptable in terms of space and memory complexity. In this study, parallel genetic algorithms are proposed to solve...

there are some machineries and equipments as well as relatively fix amount of human resources involved in any production process. in many cases, by observing operational method of a process, one may see that some of these machineries are not working, but on the other hand, other equipments are continuously working, and many parts are set in front of them, waiting to be set up over machines to c...
