<p> We develop a framework for establishing sample sizes in breeding plans, so that one is able to estimate narrow-sense heritability with smallest possible variance, for a given amount of effort. We call this an optimal genetic design. The framework allows one to compare the variances of estimators of narrow-sense heritability, when estimated from each one of the alternative plans under consideration, and does not require data simulation, but does require computer programming. We apply it to the study of a peanut (Arachis hypogaea) breading example, in order to determine the ideal number of p

Abstract:

Recent studies have uncovered a strong effect of host genetic variation on the composition of host-associated microbiota. Here, we present HOMINID, a computational approach based on Lasso linear regression, that given host genetic variation and microbiome taxonomic composition data, identifies host single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are correlated with microbial taxa abundances. Using simulated data, we show that HOMINID has accuracy in identifying associated SNPs and performs better compared with existing methods. We also show that HOMINID can accurately identify the microbial taxa t

Abstract:

Natural gas plants can have multiple owners for raw natural gas streams and processing facilities as well as for multiple products. Therefore, a proper cost allocation method is necessary for taxation of the profits from natural gas and crude oil as well as for cost sharing among gas producers. However, cost allocation methods most often used in accounting, such as the sales value method and the physical units method, may produce unacceptable or even illogical results when applied to natural gas processes.

Protocol designs targeted at a specific network scenario or performance metric appear promising on paper, but the complexity and cost of implementing and tuning a routing protocol from scratch presents a major bottleneck in the protocol design process.

The idea of the Orchestra framework is to create generic and reusable routing functional components which can be combined to create unique protocol designs customized for a specific performance metric or network se

Abstract:

Genetic Algorithm (GA) has become a very popular tool for various kinds of problems, including optimization problems with wider search spaces. Grid search techniques are usually not feasible or ineffective at finding a solution, which is good enough. The most computationally intensive component of GA is the calculation of the goodness (fitness) of candidate solutions. However, since the fitness calculation of each individual does not depend each other, this process can be parallelized easily. The easiest way to reach high amounts of computational power is using grid. Grids are composed of mult

When creating a muffler to be installed on a noise generating machine, the design parameters as well as the placements of sound attenuating elements has to be optimized in order to minimize the sound coming out of the equipage.

The task is however flawed, since both the way in which the optimization problem is formed is overly simplistic and the algorithm used to solve the problem, fmincon, does not cope well with the mathematical complexity of the model, meaning it gets stuck in a local optimum

Abstract:

A major factor that negatively impacts flight operations globally is adverse weather. To reduce the impact of adverse weather, avoidance procedures such as finding an alternative flight path can usually be carried out. However, such procedures usually introduce extra costs such as flight delay. Hence, there exists a need for alternative flight paths that efficiently avoid adverse weather regions while minimising costs. Existing weather avoidance methods used techniques, such as Dijkstra’s and artificial potential field algorithms that do not scale adequately and have poor real time performanc

Abstract:

Maintaining and operating manual main distribution frames is labour-intensive. As a result, Automated Main Distribution Frames (AMDFs) have been developed to alleviate the task of maintaining subscriber loops. Commercial AMDFs are currently employed in telephone exchanges in some parts of the world. However, the most significant factors limiting their widespread adoption are costeffective scalability and reliability. Therefore, an impelling incentive is provided to create a simulation framework in order to explore typical implementations and scenarios. Such a framework will allow the eva

Abstract:

This thesis is focused on working up evolutionals and genetics algorithms issues Especially for multiobjective algorithms VEGA, SPEA and NSGA – II. Thereinafter one of FrameWork working with genetics algorithms namely WWW NIMBUS. From this mentioned algorithms was selected VEGA algorithm for implementation in JAVA to preselected problem. Thereby problem is choice thick columns of profile according to predetermined criteria. Selected algorithm works on division of population into several groups and each group evaluates the resulting fitness function. Here is a sample implementation of this algo

Abstract:

Le contexte d’application de cette recherche a été le projet CRIBA. CRIBA vise à industrialiser une solution intégrée de rénovation et d’isolation de grands bâtiments. De ce fait, une part importante de la valeur ajoutée est transférée des chantiers de rénovation vers des usines de fabrications devant être synchronisées avec les chantiers. La planification est l'une des étapes importantes de la gestion de projets. S’adaptant à une organisation, elle vise une réalisation optimale en considérant les facteurs de temps, coût, qualité ainsi que l’affectation efficace des ressources. Cette affectati
