In this article, a hybrid method is proposed to solve the uncapacitated planar multi-facility location problems. The new hybrid method consists of a combination of the Revised Weighted Fuzzy C-Means (RWFCM) algorithm proposed by...
In this paper, a hybrid approach using sliding window mechanism followed by fuzzy c means clustering is proposed for the automated brain tumour extraction. The proposed method consists three phases. The first phase is used for...
Previous studies have explored the use of real-time visual spectral feedback with adult and teenage singers. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the perceptions of children (N=54), ages 7 to 13 years...
Earth was moderately cooler last year, but not by much. 2017, additionally, was a year of record-breaking disasters for the United States. These disasters included devastating California wildfires, a trio of hurricanes, hail...
In the early 1800s the electrical telegraph was developed to transmit written messages through a wire. By 1850 there was a submarine telegraph cable laid beneath the English Channel followed by a cable across the Cabot Strait in...
An uncapacitated multisource Weber problem involves finding facility locations for known customers. When this problem is restated as finding locations for additional new facilities, while keeping the current facilities, a new...
Androstenedione is a natural steroid hormone and endocrine disruptor. Batch and laboratory microcosm experiments and studies were conducted to investigate its adsorption and degradation in three soils. The Freundlichparameter Kf...
