Genetic operator illustration

Figure 3. Operators of genetic algorithms as they may be applied to the encoding of molecules from combinatorial libraries. The changes in the bit-strings are indicated by the use of bold-face type. The tripeptoid example from figure 2 has been chosen to illustrate the DNA-like crossover with binary bit strings...

The effect of the particle size was also considered with the multiobjective optimization, using a genetic algorithm [81]. The particle size has a dual effect on the operation of an SMB unit. Larger particles allow a lower back pressure but lead to a poorer column efficiency. The effect of the particle size in the case of a 5-column SMB process is illustrated in Figure 18.43. The largest particle size considered in the study dp — 40jflow rate and the bad column efficiency limits the productivity. The use of an in-... 

Supervisory control refers to the role a human plays in operating a semiautomatic process or system. Examples include control of large systems such as a nuclear power plant and specific instrumentation such as a robotic or assistive device. Performing supervisory control is high-level task that predominantly consists of mental components. This task is used to genetically illustrate the use of analytic techniques to...
