Influence of creep forces on the risk of derailment of railway vehicles
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
The derailment mechanism in a railway vehicle is a complex mechanical phenomenon which has been, and still is, the subject of intense research activity due to the serious consequences it can entail. Since Nadal deduced his ...
A Review of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms in Bioinformatics
(Biomed Central, 2008-09-11)
Evolutionary search algorithms have become an essential asset in the algorithmic toolbox for solving high-dimensional optimization problems in across a broad range of bioinformatics problems. Genetic algorithms, the most ...
Cohomologically Kähler manifolds with no Kähler metrics
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2003)
We show some examples of compact symplectic solvmanifolds, of
dimension greater than four, which are cohomologically
Kähler and do not admit Kähler metric since their
fundamental groups cannot be the fundamental group ...
MATEDA: A suite of EDA programs in Matlab
(2009)
This paper describes MATEDA-2.0, a suite of programs in Matlab for
estimation of distribution algorithms. The package allows the optimization of single and multi-objective problems with estimation of distribution
algorithms ...
A quantitative analysis of estimation of distribution algorithms based on Bayesian networks
(2009)
The successful application of estimation of distribution algorithms
(EDAs) to solve different kinds of problems has reinforced their candidature
as promising black-box optimization tools. However, their internal behavior
is ...
On the application of estimation of distribution algorithms to multi-marker tagging SNP selection
(2009)
This paper presents an algorithm for the automatic selection of a
minimal subset of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA). The EDA stochastically searches the ...
Dynamic optimization of track components to minimize rail corrugation
(Elsevier, 2009-01)
In this paper, the influence on corrugation of the most significant track parameters has been examined. After this parametric study, the optimization of the track parameters to minimize the undulatory wear growth has been ...
A comprehensive method for the elastic calculation of the two-point wheel-rail contact
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)
This work shows the method developed to solve the wheel-rail contact problem via a look-up table with a three-dimensional elastic model. This method enables introduction of the two contact point effect on vehicle movement ...
Derived nominals from the nominal perspective
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2009)
Derived Nominals are considered to be the last stage in the nominalization scale. This scale includes a continuum of structures with both nominal and verbal characteristics, and derived nominals are the most nouny in it. ...
A Model of Evolutionay Drift
(2003-02)
Drift appears to be crucial to study the stability properties of Nash equilibria in a component specifying different out-of-equilibrium behaviour. We propose a new microeconomic model of drift to be added to the learning ...
