Performance Improvement of Generative Adversarial Networks to Generate Digital Color Images of Skin Diseases
...Show More Authors

     The main task of creating new digital images of different skin diseases is to increase the resolution of the specific textures and colors of each skin disease. In this paper, the performance of generative adversarial networks has been optimized to generate multicolor and histological color digital images of a variety of skin diseases (melanoma, birthmarks, and basal cell carcinomas). Two architectures for generative adversarial networks were built using two models: the first is a model for generating new images of dermatology through training processes, and the second is a discrimination model whose main task is to identify the generated digital images as either real or fake. The gray wolf swarm algorithm and the whale swarm algorithm were relied on to generate values ​​that improve the performance of GANs and insert them into the generator instead of random values, which in turn worked to reduce the loss values ​​for the generated images. Loss values ​​were adopted as a measure of optimizations for each epoch, and the fastest access time to actual digital images for each skin disease was adopted. Before the optimization operations, 50% accurate images of skin diseases were obtained; after the optimization operations, 98% accurate images of skin diseases were obtained.

A Modified Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 based Environmental /Economic Power Dispatch
...Show More Authors

A Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA 2) approach for solving the multi-objective Environmental / Economic Power Dispatch (EEPD) problem is presented in this paper. In the past fuel cost consumption minimization was the aim (a single objective function) of economic power dispatch problem. Since the clean air act amendments have been applied to reduce SO2 and NOX emissions from power plants, the utilities change their strategies in order to reduce pollution and atmospheric emission as well, adding emission minimization as other objective function made economic power dispatch (EPD) a multi-objective problem having conflicting objectives. SPEA2 is the improved version of SPEA with better fitness assignment, density estimation, an

Distributed Multi-Ant Colony System Algorithm using Raspberry Pi Cluster for Travelling Salesman Problem
...Show More Authors

     The traveling salesman problem is addressed in this paper by introducing a distributed multi-ant colony algorithm that is implemented on a Raspberry Pi cluster. The implementation of a master and eight workers, each running on Raspberry Pi nodes, is the central component of this novel technique. Each worker is responsible for managing their own colony of ants, while the master coordinates communications among workers’ nodes and assesses the most optimal approach. To put the newly built cluster through its paces, several datasets of traveling salesman problem are used to test the created cluster. The findings of the experiment indicate that a single board computer cluster, which makes use of multi-ant colony algorithm, is a via

Financing Cost Optimization in Construction Sector: A Review
...Show More Authors

The main aim of this research is to introduce financing cost optimization and different financing alternatives. There are many studies about financing cost optimization. All previous studies considering the cost of financing have many shortcomings, some considered only one source of financing as a credit line without taking into account different financing alternatives. Having only one funding alternative powers, restricts contractors and leads to a very specific financing model. Although it is beneficial for the contractor to use a long-term loan to minimize interest charges and prevent a substantial withdrawal from his credit line, none of the existing financial-based planning models have considered long-term loans in
