Solving problems via artificial intelligence techniques has widely prevailed in different aspects. Implementing artificial intelligence optimization algorithms for NP-hard problems is still challenging. In this manuscript, we work on implementing the Naked Mole-Rat Algorithm (NMRA) to solve the n-queens problems and overcome the challenge of applying NMRA to a discrete space set. An improvement of NMRA is applied using the aspect of local search in the Variable Neighborhood Search algorithm (VNS) with 2-opt and 3-opt. Introducing the Naked Mole Rat algorithm based on variable neighborhood search (NMRAVNS) to solve N-queens problems with different sizes. Finding the best solution or set of solutions within a plausible amount of time is the main goal of the NMRAVNS algorithm. The improvement of the proposed algorithm boosts the exploitation capability of the basic NMRA and gives a greater possibility, with the emerging search strategies, to find the global best solution. This algorithm proved successful and outperformed other algorithms and studies with a remarkable target. A detailed comparison is performed, and the data results are presented with the relevant numbers and values. NMRA and NMRAVNS comparisons are implemented and recorded. Later on, a comparison between the Meerkat Clan Algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and NMRAVNS is tested and presented. Finally, NMRAVNS is evaluated against the examined genetic-based algorithm and listed to prove the success of the proposed algorithm. NMRAVNS outperformed previous findings and scored competitive results with a high number of queen sizes, where an average time reduction reached about 87% of other previous findings.
Tetradentate complexes type [M (HL) 2] were prepared from the reaction of 2-hydroxy -1, 2-diphynel-ethanone oxime [H2L] and KOH with ( Mn II, Fe II, Co II, Ni II , Cu II and Hg II ), in methanol with (2:1) metal: ligand ratio. The general formula for Cu II and Mn II complexes are [M (HL) 2 Cl.H2O] K, for Co II [Co (HL) 2. H2O] and [M (HL) 2] for the rest of complexes. All compounds were characterised by spectroscopic methods, I.R, U.V-Vis, H.P.L.C, atomic absorption and conductivity measurements chloride content. From the data of these measurements, the proposed molecular structures for Fe II and Hg II complexes are tetrahedrals, while Mn II and Cu II complexes are octahedrals, Ni II complex adopting

Show MoreIn this research two algorithms are applied, the first is Fuzzy C Means (FCM) algorithm and the second is hard K means (HKM) algorithm to know which of them is better than the others these two algorithms are applied on a set of data collected from the Ministry of Planning on the water turbidity of five areas in Baghdad to know which of these areas are less turbid in clear water to see which months during the year are less turbid in clear water in the specified area.
In this paper, method of steganography in Audio is introduced for hiding secret data in audio media file (WAV). Hiding in audio becomes a challenging discipline, since the Human Auditory System is extremely sensitive. The proposed method is to embed the secret text message in frequency domain of audio file. The proposed method contained two stages: the first embedding phase and the second extraction phase. In embedding phase the audio file transformed from time domain to frequency domain using 1-level linear wavelet decomposition technique and only high frequency is used for hiding secreted message. The text message encrypted using Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. Finally; the Least Significant bit (LSB) algorithm used to hide secr

Polypharmacy raises both the likelihood of prescription errors and the complications associated with drugs. Clinical pharmacists are excellent at recognizing, addressing, and preventing clinically significant drug-related problems.
Objectives: Identification types of pharmacist interventions to address drug-related problems in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and assess the acceptance/implementation of these recommendations. And identify patient factors associated with accepting pharmacist recommend
... Show MoreThe huge evolving in the information technologies, especially in the few last decades, has produced an increase in the volume of data on the World Wide Web, which is still growing significantly. Retrieving the relevant information on the Internet or any data source with a query created by a few words has become a big challenge. To override this, query expansion (QE) has an important function in improving the information retrieval (IR), where the original query of user is recreated to a new query by appending new related terms with the same importance. One of the problems of query expansion is the choosing of suitable terms. This problem leads to another challenge of how to retrieve the important documents with high precision, high recall
... Show MoreThis paper focuses on developing a strategy to represent the -connected ominoes using an abacus. We use the idea of -connected ominoes with respect to a frame in modelling nested chain abacus. Then, we formulate and prove the unique connected partition for any -connected ominoes. Next, the topological structure of nested chain abacus is presented.

The aim of this paper is to design fast neural networks to approximate periodic functions, that is, design a fully connected networks contains links between all nodes in adjacent layers which can speed up the approximation times, reduce approximation failures, and increase possibility of obtaining the globally optimal approximation. We training suggested network by Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm then speeding suggested networks by choosing most activation function (transfer function) which having a very fast convergence rate for reasonable size networks. In all algorithms, the gradient of the performance function (energy function) is used to determine how to

Data logging is a good tool for assessing the entire oil well section's continuous permeability curve. Nuclear magnetic resonance logging measurements are minimally influenced by lithology and offer significant benefits in interpreting permeability. The Schlumberger-Doll-Research model utilizes nuclear magnetic resonance logging, which accurately estimates permeability values. The approach of this investigation is to apply artificial neural networks and core data to predict permeability in wells without a nuclear magnetic resonance log. The Schlumberger-Doll-Research permeability is use
