salinity is one of the most important limiting factors for crops, because of most agronomic and horticultural crops are sensitive to salinity. on the other hands, considerable lands of the world were affected by salinity and they are increasing day by day. an experiment was conducted with five levels of irrigation water salinity in soilless culture and greenhouse condition to evaluate the effec...

The Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission will be the first space experiment to demonstrate asteroid impact hazard mitigation by using a kinetic impactor to deflect an asteroid. AIDA is an international cooperation, consisting of two mission elements: the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and the ESA Asteroid Impact Mission (AIM) rendezvous mission. The prima...

Many machine learning tasks are just too hard to be solved with a single processor machine, no matter how efficient algorithms we use and how fast our hardware is. Luckily genetic programming is well suited for parallelization compared to standard serial algorithms. This paper describes the first parallel implementation of an AIM-GP system creating the potential for an extremely fast system. Th...

The Mission First, this department’s mission is to disseminate the best material that’s relevant to software practitioners. This mission is straightforward, but not always easily accomplished. Many other IEEE Software departments attract great, practitioneroriented articles. We don’t aim to overlap with them and the regular focus and feature articles; rather, we seek niche, even emerging topics...
