The present study is an attempt to provide a current synopsis of World Englishes within globalized communities, as well as theoretical and applied feasibility of global linguistic features of English as an International Language (EIL). To do so, first, three main reactions against the spread of English by scholars around the world are discussed. Then, the possibility of describing and teaching ...

In the paper, the oneand two-dimensional two-phase inverse Stefan problems are formulated and described by means of the optimizationmethod. These problems consist of the reconstruction of the function which describes the coe cient of convective heat-transfer, when the position of the moving interface of the phase change is well-known. In numerical calculations the NelderMead optimization method...

A new hybridization of the Cuckoo Search (CS) is developed and applied to optimize multicell solar systems; namely multi-junction and split spectrum cells. The new approach consists of combining the CS with the Nelder-Mead method. More precisely, instead of using single solutions as nests for the CS, we use the concept of a simplex which is used in the NelderMead algorithm. This makes it possib...

human domination over time and space and, consequently, globalization of crime has led to new opportunities of global nature to commit crime. globalized crimes occur in an organized fashion to bring profit to and serve violent purposes of criminals around the world, threatening human dignity, safety, and fundamental rights, compromising international security, and denying humans of their right ...

Autonomic (self-managing) computing systems face the critical problem of resource allocation to different computing elements. Adopting a recent model, we view the problem of provisioning resources as involving utility elicitation and optimization to allocate resources given imprecise utility information. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for regret-based optimization that performs signi...

An algorithm for the estimate of the soil moisture content on a global scale from dual-frequency (Cand Xbands) microwave data of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on the brightness temperature at C-band and uses the Polarization Index at X-band to correct for vegetation effects. The retrieval is obtained by inverting a simplif...

Clustering is a process of putting similar data into groups. This paper presents data clustering using improved genetic algorithm (IGA) in which an efficient method of crossover and mutation are implemented. Further it is hybridized with the popular NelderMead (NM) Simplex search and K-means to exploit the potentiality of both in the hybridized algorithm. The performance of hybrid approach is e...
