Using Hybrid optimization algorithms for nonlinear systems analysis is a novel approach. It is a powerful technique that uses the exploitation ability of one algorithm and the exploration ability of another algorithm, to ...

Abstract. This work shows the application of one of the techniques of bioengineering, the perceptron network in the detection of system failures, and also allows the use of the perceptron network technique in choosing the ...

The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has been widely used in the field of optimization mainly due to its easy implementation, robustness, fast convergence, and low computational cost. However, due to its continuous ...

The successful performance of the production organizations of material goods or service necessarily involves the correct location of the elements that make up the productive system, so as to satisfactorily respond not only ...

Aim: The aim of the following study is to evaluate the cleaning capacity of a hybrid instrumentation technique using Reamer with Alternating Cutting Edges (RaCe) system files in the apical third of mesial roots of mandibular ...

Aim: To evaluate the apical transportation induced by two instrumentation techniques in severely curved simulated canals. Materials and Methods: Forty simulated canals were divided into two groups (n = 20), according to ...

A general technique to embed non-uniform displacement discontinuities into standard solid finite elements is presented. The technique is based on the decomposition of the kinematic fields into a component related to the ...
