Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...

in modern agriculture, image processing technique is used for mechanization and intelligent machines instead of humans. one of them is identifying varieties of plants and fruits. identifying plant varieties is important in plant eugenic programs. visual examination of plant leaves and fruits are the common processes for this aim. identification and classification of plants using machine vision ...

Dynamic load balancing is considered in the context of adaptive multilevel methods for partial diierential equations on distributed memory multiproces-sors. An approach that periodically repartitions the grid is taken. The important properties of a partitioning algorithm are presented and discussed in this context. A partitioning algorithm based on the reenement tree of the adaptive grid is pre...

Skyline queries are useful for finding interesting tuples from a large data set according to multiple criteria. The sizes of data sets are constantly increasing and the architecture of back-ends are switching from single-node environments to non-conventional paradigms like MapReduce. Despite the usefulness of skyline queries, existing works on skyline computation in MapReduce do not take full a...

This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of two dynamic load partitioning and balancing strategies for parallel Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) applications: the Level-based Partitioning Algorithm (LPA) and the Hierarchical Partitioning Algorithm (HPA). These techniques specifically address the computational and communication heterogeneity across refinement levels o...

Grid space partitioning is a technique to speed up queries to graphics databases. We present a parallel grid construction algorithm which can efficiently construct a structured grid on GPU hardware. Our approach is substantially faster than existing uniform grid construction algorithms, especially on nonhomogeneous scenes. Indeed, it can populate a grid in real-time (at rates over 25 Hz), for a...

Dynamic load balancing is considered in the context of adaptive multilevel methods for partial diierential equations on networks of workstations or PCs. An approach that periodically repartitions the grid is taken. A partitioning algorithm based on the reenement tree of the adaptive grid is presented and analyzed in terms of the most important properties of grid partitioners.
