Genetic algorithms borrow their name and principles from biological evolution, but can they help researchers discover the fundamentals of life? Evolution is one of the most widely known theories in ...

The optimisation of process planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern manufacturing, where genetic algorithms (GAs) and hybrid techniques are leveraged to address the combinatorial complexity ...

This review discusses how nonlinear optics and intelligent control techniques are advancing ultrafast laser technology, ...

Genomes are like the biological owner's manual for all living things. Cells read DNA instantaneously, getting instructions necessary for an organism to grow, function and reproduce. But for humans, ...

Climate change has necessitated the development of "green" alternatives to replace existing materials. This focus has resulted in the push toward fabricating natural fiber-reinforced polymer ...

There are several techniques that can be used to select relatively good parent solutions from a population of solutions. Experience with genetic algorithms has shown that it's better to select two ...

A new algorithm developed by researchers at Columbia University can analyze thousands of variants across the genome and estimate a person's risk of developing chronic kidney disease -- and it works in ...

Up to 40% of rare diseases show facial alterations that enable researchers to identify some pathologies and they can even help them to establish an early diagnosis. Historically, the visual evaluation ...

This paper presents an application of genetic algorithms to forecast short-term demand of natural gas in residences. Residential demand is assumed to be a function of time, heating degree-day value, ...
