Although there is a long history behind the idea of chemical structure, this is a key concept
that continues to challenge chemists. Chemical structure is fundamental to understanding …

In this paper we present a detailed review of current script and language identification
techniques. The main criticism of the existing techniques is that most of them rely on either …

Large cities are built and designed based on the needs of mobile people, architectural
preferences and budgets. Unfortunately, this constitutes a big disadvantaged for those with …

Diversity is a key issue to consider when designing evolutionary approaches for difficult
optimization problems. In this paper, we address the development of an effective hybrid …

We extend the scope of a recent method for superimposing two molecules (J. Chem. Phys.
2009, 131, 124126-1− 124126-10) to include the identification of chiral structures. This …

This book can be regarded as' Soft computing for physicists and chemists self-taught'. It
prepares the readers with a solid background of soft computing and how to adapt soft …

Modern microscopy techniques opened new perspectives to look at colloidal clusters. It is
now possible to visualize the colloidal particles forming the cluster, which provides relevant …

This investigation uses a recent methodology, essentially based on our evolutionary
algorithm (EA) to get new insights about the energetics and structure of the first solvation …

We employ a recently developed methodology to study structural and energetic properties of
the first solvation shells of the potassium ion in nonpolar environments due to aromatic rings …

Cluster geometry optimization is an important problem from the Chemistry area. Hybrid
approaches combining evolutionary algorithms and gradient-driven local search methods …
