The genetic algorithm (GA) is an evolutionary optimization algorithm operating based upon reproduction, crossover and mutation. On the other hand, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a swarm intelligence algorithm functioning by means of inertia weight, learning factors and the mutation probability based upon fuzzy rules. In this paper, particle swarm optimization in association with genetic a...

This investigation was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG; 0, 3%, 6% and 9% w/v) treatment on six cultivars of Medicago sativa. PEG treatment significantly decreased the germination index in cultivars of Isfahani, Hamedani, Bami, Baghdadi, Yazdi and Ghare-Medicago, with the highest reduction in Ghare-Medicago and Hamedani cultivars by about 50% a...

There has been a growing interest in combining both neural network and fuzzy system, and as a result, neuro-fuzzy computing techniques have been evolved. ANFIS (adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system) model combined the neural network adaptive capabilities and the fuzzy logic qualitative approach. In this paper, a novel structure of unsupervised ANFIS is presented to solve differential e...

The Relationship between Psycho-Social Health and National-Religious Identity among Yazdi High School Students M. Paarsaamehr, Ph.D. V. Asghari Yengjeh To measure the relationship between psycho-social health and national-religious identity among Yazdi high school students a sample of 354 students was selected using a cluster sampling method. Measures used to assess the constr...

This study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using Triadimefon (TRD) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on Medicago plant. Triadimefon is a member of Triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. Two cultivars of Medicago sitiva including Hamedani and Yazdi were used in this study. Plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...
