Eggs are most fundamental and important foodstuff in everyday life for all developed and developing countries. It is not sufficient only to produce and transport eggs at a reasonable cost but arrangements must be made to ensure that the eggs reach the consumers well in time. In between the two extremes of minimization of eggs shipping cost and minimization of eggs shipping time, there exist a number of situations where an eggs transportation system decision maker would like a partial trade-off on shipping cost to attain a certain degree of shipping time advantages. From laying to the final destination, more eggs are broken during shipping than in any other step; therefore, losses due to eggshell breakage are greatest during shipping. In this paper, an algorithm and its underlying theory is developed to solve eggshell breakage restricted bi-criteria eggs transportation problem. This paper discusses a more realistic and general assumption that the eggs shipping time of bi-criteria eggs transportation problem depends on the quantity of the eggs transported and is an increasing piecewise constant function. The algorithm is also supported by a real life eggs shipping problem of Tamil Nadu, India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes the geometry-based polylinal routing method as a solution for motion planning in object sorting exercises in manufacturing processes. This algorithm is based on geometric properties that arise from the interaction among objects within the configuration space. The method proposed in this paper, during its experimental phase, successfully generated smooth routes with a processing time ranging from 62.5-125 ms on a computer equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core 3.70 GHz processor and 16 GB of RAM. When compared to the RRT algorithm, it exhibits a higher efficiency of 38% to 48%, resulting in a reduction in iterative processes and a shorter response time. Therefore, the proposed method presents a viable solution for addressing motion planning scenarios in object sorting exercises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at proposing a Constraint-based Learning Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) to solve the Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (MMRCPSP). This problem is considered a combinatorial optimization problem and consists of a set of tasks to be carried out in an ordered way, limited availability of resources, and an execution mode for each task. Generally, traditional EDAs handle the constraints of the problem using strategies such as penalty, Pareto dominance, or others, without taking into account these constraints during the learning process. These traditional approaches usually cause the generation of infeasible solutions in each iteration. In this paper, an approach based on the constraints handling during the learning process of the probabilistic model is proposed. To validate the performance of the algorithms, the new approach in two scenarios is compared. First, in the solution of a set of classical optimization problems, where different EDAs are compared in terms of efficiency and efficacy. The second group of experiments is performed on a set of instances of the PSPLIB database. In this case, the proposed algorithm is compared with a traditional EDA and with other results reported in the bibliography. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposal outperforms both the results of traditional EDA and other EDA reported in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper three prime numbers are presented as high potentials to be Mersenne numbers and their application in computational primality testing is suggested. These numbers are constructed from a regression algorithm based on Support vector machines (SVM) and using a Gaussian Kernel. Data training is carried out using the Phyton programming language, In the study we address the current data of Mersenne primes and work with the Ova-angular classification group for Mersenne primes 31.

In this paper we intend to substantiate the usefulness of Deep Learning, especially feedforward neuronal networks, in the prediction of business failure. This methodology provides very good results in terms of predictive performance when large sample sizes are available. Therefore, we have developed a business failure prediction model for European companies, based on this algorithm on a sample of 61,624 companies, of which 12,128 were declared bankrupt in 2016. As independent variables were considered ratios, and economic and financial data obtained from the financial statements for the year preceding the date of failure. Deep Learning achieves a predictive performance of 94%, where companies with larger size and lower solvency are more prone to failure. The obtained results have been tested on an independent test sample, different from that used to estimate and train the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a computer vision inspection methodology is presented for the detection and segmentation of areas of wear by electric arc on the surface of electrical contacts using segmentation by instances. Cadmium is a toxic metal frequently used in the manufacture of alloys for electrical contact, so efforts have been made to replace or eliminate this element from the industry. Our work proposes an approach oriented to the automation of the inspection process, which reduces the subjectivity of the repetitive task of inspecting electrical contacts, allowing to compare two different alloys, such as one with Cadmium (Cd) and the other with Copper (Cu)., subjected to the same conditions and determine which of them presents less wear by electric arc. In this way you can know if the new part is better, equal or worse in terms of performance. Initially, an adaptation was made of the source code hosted in a github repository of mask R-CNN of the Matterport corporation, where variables, classes were modified, and directories were created according to our needs. The results obtained show that the masks generated by the algorithm adjust very well to contact wear, despite the irregular shape of the damage. However, the "charred" edge was probably not considered, because in training images it was a feature that few images presented, so segmentation may not be considering this factor.

This paper proposes a hybrid heuristic that combines Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to solve the scheduling problem of nonrelated parallel machines with sequence dependent setup times in order to minimize the makespan. The Variable Neighborhood Search is proposed to solve the scheduling problem with a descending scheme in a first phase, with an ACO algorithm, which successively reorder the jobs in the machine with the largest makespan in a second phase. An experimental study was performed using test problems from the literature showing that the second phase of the algorithm improves the solution obtained in the first phase. The results obtained are also compared with other methods in the literature proving to be a competitive method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Risk analyses applied to radiotherapy treatments have become an undeniable necessity, considering the dangers generated by the combination of using powerful radiation fields on patients and the occurrence of human errors and equipment failures during these treatments. The technique par excellence to execute these analyses has been the risk matrix. This paper presents the development of a new algorithm to execute the task with wide graphic and analytic potentialities, thus transforming it into a very useful option for risk monitoring and the optimization of quality assurance. The system SECURE-MR, which is the basic software of this algorithm, has been successfully used in risk analysis regarding different kinds of radiotherapies. Compared to previous methods, It offers new possibilities of analysis considering risk controlling factors as the robustness of reducers of initiators frequency and its consequences. Their analytic capacities and graphs allow novel developments to classify risk contributing factors, to represent information processes as well as accidental sequences. The paper shows the application of the proposed system to a generic process of radiotherapy treatment using a lineal accelerator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A geodesic dome is a mesh of bars and nodes arranged along the edges and vertices of a polyhedron on a surface that can be in the form of a sphere, parabola or ellipse. From knowing the advantages of this type of structure, they have been widely used in various constructions such as: housing, commercial offices, greenhouses, fair stand, fixed ceilings fuel storage tanks, among others. Many researchers have studied modeling and geometry of geodesic domes. The purpose of this paper is to present, from the review and compilation of information from several researches, an algorithm for generating a wireframe model of a geodesic dome for fixed roofs of spherical fuel storage tanks, for a further analysis of resistance by the method of finite elements. In this paper, we describe in detail the procedure and geometric expressions that were used. Finally, a computer program was developed in order to evaluate mathematical expressions and the procedure described in this paper and also to have a tool for generating computational model of a geodesic dome.

The databases of the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador in the 2013-2017 period contain valuable information that can be used to determine the strengths, weaknesses, potential problems, among others, that affect the public health of the country. This knowledge can serve to draw better public health policies. This paper aims to propose a methodology that allows us to extract knowledge from these databases and at the same time to obtain association rules based on the combination of algorithms such as FP-growth and k-means. In summary, the methodology consists of the following steps: first, the dataset is stored in 5 files in the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) format, and then the disease-related attributes are grouped and encoded, according to the code ICD-10, for this purpose it is proposed to apply the WEKA software. Finally, the FP-Growth algorithm is used to extract association rules from frequent items with the support of RAPIDMINER, which has the advantage of allowing us the use of WEKA algorithms. The methodology is illustrated with an example that shows how to use it and its usefulness to extract association rules in real-life situations from medical databases. With these representations of the information, morbidity and incidence behavior analysis of the registered groups and diseases can be made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is one of the main topics in the in bioinformatics domain, consists finding an optimal alignment for three or more biological sequences with the number maximum of conserved zones or totally aligned columns. Different scores to assess the quality of the alignments have been proposed, so the problem can be formulated and resolved as a Multi-Objective Optimization Problem (MOP). For this reason, in this paper we present a Multi- Objective approach applied to MSA. We have considered state-of-the-art optimization algorithms aimed at solving different formulations of the MSA: NSGAII, NSGA-III, SPEA2, MOCell, SMS-EMOA, MOEA/D and GWASF-GA. Furthermore we have considered some popular metrics as objectives to be optimized: The weighted Sum-Of-Pairs with a ne gap penalties (wSOP), the Totally Aligned Columns (TC), STRIKE and BaliScore. Finally we have described the main features of our software jMetalMSA, a Multi-Objective optimization software tool applied to MSA problem and illustrated a working example for experimentations purposes.
