The three different approaches (reformulations) of evolution strategies (ESs) have been proposed in the literature as extensions of the technique for solving discrete problems. This study implements an extensive research on application, evaluation and comparison of them in discrete optimum design of steel frames. A unified formulation is first developed to explain these approaches, so that differences and similarities between their inherent search mechanisms can clearly be identified. Two examples from practical design of steel frames are studied next to measure their performances in locating the optimum. Extensive numerical experimentations are performed in both examples to facilitate a statistical analysis of their convergence characteristics. The results obtained are presented in the histograms demonstrating the distribution of the best designs located by each approach. In addition, an average improvement of the best design during the course of evolution is plotted in each case to compare their relative convergence rates.

Challenges in line-of-balance scheduling Arditi, David; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat; Suh, Kangsuk (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-11-01) The line-of-balance ~LOB! method of scheduling is well suited to projects that are composed of activities of a linear and repetitive nature. The objective of this study is to set down the basic principles that can be used in the development of a computerized LOB scheduling system that overcomes the problems associated with existing systems and creates solutions to problems encountered in the implementation of repetitive-unit construction. The challenges associated with LOB scheduling include developing an a...
Observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) The observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay is reported using proton-proton collision data collected at root s = 13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 60fb(-1). The ratio of the branching fractions B(Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi)/B(Lambda(0)(b) > psi(2S)Lambda) is measured to be (8.26 +/- 0.90 (stat) +/- 0.68 (syst) +/- 0.11 (B)) x 10(-2), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last uncertaint...
Theoretical aspects of some 4-[2,6-substituted-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol derivatives as anti-HIV agents Türker, Burhan Lemi; Sudagidan, M (2000-01-01) Some (-)-(1S,4R) -4-[2-amino-6-(substituted)-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol derivatives have been considered for semiempirical treatment at the level of AM1 type calculations. Certain theoretical structure-activity relationship were investigated.
Generalized kerr-schild metrics in einstein‘s gravity Çelik, Ufuk Can; Tekin, Bayram; Gürses, Metin; Department of Physics (2020-9) Several aspects of the Kerr-Schild ansatz; including the generalized ansatz which has a generic background metric instead of a flat metric, Kerr-Schild groups and Classical Double Copy, are investigated. It is shown that, in vacuum, not all generalized KerrSchild spacetimes are algebraically special, whereas the Kerr-Schild spacetimes are always algebraically special. We also touch upon Kerr-Schild-Kundt spacetimes and further discuss their universality property before we continue with the Kerr-Schild ...
Recovery of Escherichia coli O157 : H7 and Salmonella in milk and cream of chicken soup from high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and bacteriocin applications upon storage Alpas, Hami (2002-06-01) By the application of HHP; more than 8 log cycle reduction was achieved for E. coli O157:H7 933 and Salmonella FDA in milk and cream of chicken soup in 5 min. Storage of HHP treated milk samples showed absence of both bacteria for 24 h at 4degreesC and for 48 h at 37degreesC. The population of the strains in cream of chicken soup exceeded their initial value after 5 days of storage at 25degreesC. BP1 was combined with HHP and used for inhibition of surviving bacterial species in cream of chicken soup. There...
