The Set Covering Problem is a classic combinatorial problem which is looking for solutions to cover needs on a geographic area. In this paper, we applied new ideas to solve The Set Covering Problem. Intelligent Water Drop is a nature inspired algorithm based on water drops behavior on natural river systems and the events that change the nature of water drop and the river environment. It observe...

A 2-hydroxyazobenzene platform has been evaluated to photorelease protons in aqueous solutions. Three different systems relying on molecular, supramolecular and polymeric strategies have been investigated in order to tune the water solubility and the thermodynamic and kinetic properties. This paper first reports on the syntheses and the physico chemical analyses for each system. Subsequently, w...

Water droplets can jump during vapor condensation on solid benzene near its melting point. This phenomenon, which can be viewed as a kind of micro scale steam engine, is studied experimentally and numerically. The latent heat of condensation transferred at the drop three phase contact line melts the substrate during a time proportional to R (the drop radius). The wetting conditions change and a...

in this paper, intelligent water drop algorithm (iwd) is used to analyze single overhead line connected to grid-grounded arrester. in this approach, at first norton’s equivalent circuit of the overhead line over lossy soil is computed by method of moments (mom) and then for the problem under consideration, a nonlinear equivalent circuit in the frequency domain is proposed. finally applying inte...

A comparison between two technologies „Swarm Intelligence‟ and „Intelligent Water drops‟ inorder to overcome the disadvantages of various technologies is an integral concern of this paper . It is nature inspired. IWD algorithm is used to calculate the solutions of the n-queen puzzle with a simple local heuristic. Water of the ocean river easily finds best way from the number of various ways ava...
