abstract: in this paper, a method for determination of refractive index in membrane of fuel cell on basis of three-longitudinal-mode laser heterodyne interferometer is presented. the optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. the measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity erro...

efficient and on-time maintenance plays a crucial role inreducing cost and increasing the market share of an industrial unit. preventivemaintenance is a broad term that encompasses a set of activitiesaimed at improving the overall reliability and availability of a systembefore machinery breakdown. the previous studies have addressed thescheduling of preventive maintenance. these studies have co...

the main purpose of design in civil engineering is to establish a project which has the most versatility on the expected needs and existing conditions. through optimization this is equivalent to determination of a group of design variables that cause minimizing the object function versus imposed loads, restraints and predetermined parameters. in this research, genetic algorithm method is used t...

In this work, a Genetic Algorithm boosted Least Square Support Vector Machine model by a set of linear equations instead of a quadratic program, which is improved version of Support Vector Machine model, was used for estimation of 98 pure compounds second virial coefficient. Compounds were classified to the different groups. Finest parameters were obtained by Genetic Algorithm method ...

in financial matters, portfolio can be interpreted as a combination or a series of investments hold by an institution or a person. portfolio optimization is one of the most important concerns of investors for maximizing the portfolio in financial markets. the formation of portfolio is a vital and critical decision for the companies.  in fact, the selection of portfolio is to specify the capital...

optimal balancing is a new approach based on optimal control a which modes, controls and the amount of equilibrium scale are calculated simultaneously. this approach has a significant effect on increasing performance of industrial robots which causes maximum decreasing of energy consumption. despite many applications of robotics such as welding and gluing, the path is predefined , but other unk...

To reproduce an image, it is necessary to map out of gamut colors of the image to destination gamut. It is clear that the best color gamut mapping introduces the perceptually closest image to the original one. In this study, a new color gamut mapping is purposed by the aid of Genetic Algorithm (GA). The color difference between the original and mapped images based on S-LAB formula was chosen as...

controller design and optimization problems, with more than one objective, are referred as multiple objectives or multiple attributed problems. in this paper, a novel method is proposed for designing optimum pid controller that is called genetic multiple attributed decision making method (gmadm). this method is newer than the previous methods and in this paper some options are considered that h...

Background: Regarding the importance of right diagnosis in medical applications, various methods have been exploited for processing medical images solar. The method of segmentation is used to analyze anal to miscall structures in medical imaging.Objective: This study describes a new method for brain Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) segmentation via a novel algorithm based on genetic and regiona...
