Published in 2019 at "Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jestch.2018.11.013

Abstract: Abstract We propose and develop an improved version of antlion optimizer (ALO), namely tournament selection based antlion optimization algorithm for quadratic assignment problem (QAP). ALO algorithm has some handicaps, such as long run time, local… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Journal of Experimental Biology"

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.224626

Abstract: ABSTRACT Pit-building antlion larvae are predators that construct pitfall traps in fine sand. We used three-dimensional laser scanning and geometric morphometrics to reveal the shape of antlion pits of two antlion species, analysed the particle… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Sustainability"

DOI: 10.3390/su15118966

Abstract: A robust, optimized power system stabilizer (PSS) is crucial for oscillation damping, and thus improving electrical network stability. Additionally, real-time testing methods are required to significantly reduce the likelihood of software failure in a real-world… read more here.
