Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither of them is appropriate to manage complex data, s...
State-of-the-art image compression and reconstruction techniques utilize wavelets. Beginning in 2004, however, a team of researchers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), the...
One of the major difficulties when applying Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA) to real world problems is the large number of objective function evaluations. Approximate...
In orthodontics, retraction springs made of metallic wires are often used to move a tooth with respect to another by the virtue of the spring back effect. Specially selected form o...
In this paper, phase combinations among martensitic variants in shape memory alloys patches and bars are simulated by a hybrid optimization methodology. The mathematical model is ...
