This study presents a new imaging paradigm for overcoming the challenges limiting the
improvement of the imaging quality in the electrical capacitance technique. The new …

The generalized Maxwell (GM) constitutive model has been widely applied to characterize
the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. The parameters (Prony series) of the GM are …

Speech emotion recognition based on gender holds great importance for achieving more
accurate, personalized, and empathetic interactions in technology, healthcare, psychology …

In this work we extend the etching model to $ d+ 1$ dimensions. This permits us to
investigate its exponents behaviour on higher dimensions, to try to verify the existence of an …

Manufacturability evaluation is an effective way to shorten the development period, optimize
manufacturing processes, and reduce product costs. The manufacturability of a product …

In recent years, several attempts to improve the efficiency of the Canonical Genetic
Algorithm have been presented. The advantage of the elitist non-homogeneous genetic …

Os Algoritmos Genético (AG) e o Simulated Annealing (SA) são algoritmos construídos para
encontrar máximo ou mínimo de uma função que representa alguma característica do …

In recent years, several attempts to improve the efficiency of the canonical genetic algorithm

Genetic algorithms (GAs), in the homogeneous as well as the non homogeneous version,
have been widely used to solve combinatorial global optimization problems. Despite the …

The theoretical study of a genetic algorithm (GA) has focused mainly on establishing its
convergence in probability and almost always to the global optimum. In this article, we …
