A Modified Multiobjective Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm and Its Application on Optimization Design of the Nuclear Power System

A modified multiobjective self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm (MMOSADE) is presented in this Internal Hard Drives paper to improve the accuracy of multiobjective optimization design in the nuclear power system.The performance of the MMOSADE is tested by the ZDT test function set and compared with classical evolutionary algorithms.The res

The breeding biology of erect-crested penguins, Eudyptes sclateri: Hormones, behavior, obligate brood reduction and conservation.

Erect-crested penguins are the least studied of all penguins.They breed on Dry Bags two isolated subantarctic island groups, the Antipodes and Bounty Islands.Sporadic nest counts indicate a dramatic decline in numbers of erect-crested penguins over the last 50 years.Here we present data from a study undertaken in 1998 on the breeding biology, behav
