in practice, obtaining the global optimum for the economic dispatch {bf (ed)}problem with ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones is presents difficulties. this paper presents a new andefficient method for solving the economic dispatch problem with non-smooth cost functions using afuzzy adaptive genetic algorithm (faga). the proposed algorithm  deals  with the issue ofcontrolling the ex...

beet western yellows virus (bwyv), a species of the genus polerovirus in the family luteoviridae, is an agriculturally important virus infecting over 150 plant species in 23 dicotyledonous families worldwide. a survey of bwyv in canola fields in golestan and tehran provinces of iran using indirect triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (tas-elisa) indicated 8.3 % infection. ...

changes in seed dormancy were selected during the domestication of crop plants from wild-plant species, because some features of dormancy that provide ecological advantages presented agronomic disadvantages within a farmed system. seed dormancy varies widely among seed batches, even for seeds of the same genotype, indicating large environmental influences. for genetic studies, it is essential t...

in this paper, a new approach was presented for bus network design which took the effects of three out of four stages of the bus planning process into account. the presented model consisted of three majors steps 1- network design procedure (ndp), 2- frequency determination and assignment procedure (fdap), and 3- network evaluation procedure (nep). genetic algorithm (ga) was utilized to solve th...

obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, intrusive, unwanted thoughts. research indicates a genetic predisposition for ocd. many people with ocd have one or more family members who also have it or who may have other anxiety disorders influenced by the brain's serotonin levels, such as panic disorder. although ocd is a chronic and oftenti...

a total of 2519 blood samples were collected from five distinct populations of larestan, in fars province, in iran (lar, gerash, khour, latifi and berake) were examined for abo and rh blood groups. the gene frequencies obtained from these samples were compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other populations of fars province to determine the genetic structure of the larestan...

background: cholecystitis is one of the major digestive diseases. its prevalence is particularly high in some populations. significant risk factors associated with cholecystitis include age, sex, obesity, diet, parity and type 2 diabetes. objective: to determine the association between hla-drb1 and cholecystitis. methods: this casecontrol study included forty iraqi arab patients who had cholecy...

background & aim: in the present research, we investigated phytochemical characteristics of two important species of verbascum genus. enormous reconnaissance and field surveys were conducted to identify the most important natural habitats of verbascum species in kohgiluyeh va buyerahmad province, southern iran. experimental: the aerial parts of verbascum songaricum and v.  cheirantifolium w...

extract when a woman undergoes genetic testing of her fetus, the physiologic and emotional demands are great. careful nursing assessment and support are vital. the main benefit of prenatal genetic diagnosis is that women be given the opportunity to coping with your pregnancy where fetal abnormalities has been diagnosed or achieve  to a complete relaxation with  the positive results obtained . e...
