(2020)
The increasing activity in morphological studies has provided new tools to analyses the shape quantitatively, these quantitative measurements allow the researcher to examine the variation in shape and perform analysis to ...
Neuro-fuzzy system with particle swarm optimization for classification of physical fitness in school children
(2020)
Physical fitness is widely known to be one of the critical elements of a healthy life. The sedentary attitude of school children is related to some health problems due to physical inactivity. The following article aims to ...

Multistability in a Leslie-Gower–type predation model with a rational nonmonotonic functional response and generalist predators
(2020)
This work deals with a modified Leslie‐Gower–type model, in which two ecological issues are considered. (i) The action of predators over their prey is described by a nonmonotonic functional response, and (ii) the predators ...
Techno-economic analysis of producing glacial acetic acid from poplar biomass via bioconversion
(2020)
Most of the current commercial production of glacial acetic acid (GAA) is by petrochemical routes, primarily methanol carbonylation. GAA is an intermediate in the production of plastics, textiles, dyes, and paints. GAA ...
Off-line writer verification using segments of handwritten samples and SVM
(2021)
This works presents a method to verify a person identity based on off-line handwritten strokes analysis. Its main contribution is that the descriptors are obtained from the constitutive segments of each grapheme, in contrast ...
