Cheap does not imply cost-effective -- this is rule number one of zeitgeisty system design. The initial investment accounts only for a small portion of the lifecycle costs of a technical system. In fluid systems, about ninety percent of the total costs are caused by other factors like power consumption and maintenance. With modern optimization methods, it is already possible to plan an optimal technical system considering multiple objectives. In this paper, we focus on an often neglected contribution to the lifecycle costs: downtime costs due to spontaneous failures. Consequently, availability becomes an issue.

Rule-based Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have been used in the application of pattern classification (Corcoran & Sen, 1994), but conventional GAs have weaknesses. First, the time spent on learning is long. Moreover, the classification accuracy achieved by a GA is not satisfactory. These drawbacks are due to existing undesirable features embedded in conventional GAs. The number of rules within the chromosome of a GA classifier is usually set and fixed before training and is not problem-dependent. Secondly, conventional approaches train the data in batch without considering whether decomposition solves the problem. Thirdly, when facing large-scale real-world problems, GAs cannot utilise resources efficiently, leading to premature convergence. Based on these observations, this paper develops a novel algorithmic framework that features automatic domain and task decomposition and problem-dependent chromosome length (rule number) selection to resolve these undesirable features. The proposed Recursive Learning of Genetic Algorithm with Task Decomposition and Varied Rule Set (RLGA) method is recursive and trains and evolves a team of learners using the concept of local fitness to decompose the original problem into sub-problems. RLGA performs better than GAs and other related solutions regarding training duration and generalization accuracy according to the experimental results.

The purpose of this research was to determine the role of Legal Counselors in the Regional Office of the Banten Ministry of Law and Human Rights in the socialization of free legal aid for the poor. In this research the authors use a methodology with a qualitative approach. In the research to be conducted, researchers will use three data collection techniques, by interview, observation, and documentation. The results of this research are that legal aid regulated by Rule Number 16 of 2011 years concerning Legal Aid, is the state's obligation to provide the rights of every citizen to get legal protection and human rights, especially for the poor. The provision of legal aid as a state obligation to implement the constitutional rights of the poor is to provide funding to legal aid organizations with the State Budget. The state is present to provide legal assistance, one of which is by means of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Banten. The method of socialization about free legal assistance to the poor is done by legal counseling activities with direct and indirect methods; firstly, legal counseling is carried out solely by law enforcement officers from the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Banten. Secondly, legal counseling is carried out by accredited legal aid organizations but with budgets derived from legal aid funds from the state  with the authority of budget users from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

The study of the reversibility of elementary cellular automata with rule number 150 over the finite state set 𝔽p and endowed with periodic boundary conditions is done. The dynamic of such discrete dynamical systems is characterized by means of characteristic circulant matrices, and their analysis allows us to state that the reversibility depends on the number of cells of the cellular space and to explicitly compute the corresponding inverse cellular automata.

The production of rice has its own requirements like other crops, among these requirements include the various soil reactions like acid-base reaction and redox reaction. The experient was set up to determine the effect of different oxido-reduction status of soil on rice performance. The trial was a 3x2x2 factorial experiment laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) and replicated three times. The variables included 3 levels of organic matter from poultry source (0t/ha, 6t/ha and 8t/ha), two levels of NPK 15-15-15 fertilizers (0kg/ha and 200kg/ha) and two watering regimes (Field capacity and waterlogged) this gave rise to twelve treatments and four redox status (oxidized, moderately reduced, reduced and highly reduced). Redox potential was measured using a redox potential meter, growth parameters of rice collected included plant height measured with tape rule, number of leaves and number of tillers which were counted. Yield parameters collected includes 1000 grain weight and grain yield measured with a electrical weighing balance. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using SPSS version 17 and means were separated using Tukey HSD. Results from the result indicated that rice performance was best under highly reduce and moderately reduced soils.
