With the development of science and technology, the accuracy requirements for solving engineering problems are getting stricter than before.Most structural design optimization problems in tack copyright civil and mechanical engineering have proven to be the non-deterministic polynomial hard problems.The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has bee
Water and soil losses from sloping farmlands potentially contribute to water eutrophication and land degradation.However, few studies explored the combined effects of ridge direction and ridge width on surface runoff and soil losses of sloping farmlands.Twenty-seven experimental plots (8 m long and 4 m wide) with nine treatments (three ridge direct
Energy intensity is one of the most important energy feature that has a dramatic value GAGS in energy system of Iran.Indeed, Iran is one of the most energy intensive countries in the world and its main reason is related to high energy consumption in household section.In this article, we present a non-linear model that considers three scenarios in m
