A Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Creating Virtual Portraits of Historical Figures
PublikacjaIn this paper we present a genetic algorithm (GA) for creating hypothetical virtual portraits of historical figures and other individuals whose facial appearance is unknown. Our algorithm uses existing portraits of random people from specific historical period and social background to evolve a set of face images potentially resembling the person whose image is to be found. We then use portraits of the person's relatives to judge...

Phytoextraction and recovery of rare earth elements using willow (Salix spp.)
PublikacjaSoil and water contaminations are caused by rare earth elements (REEs) due to mining and industrial activities, that threaten the ecosystem and human health. Therefore, phytoremediation methods need to be developed to overcome this problem. To date, little research has been conducted concerning the phytoremediation potential of Salix for REEs. In this study, two Salix species (Salix myrsinifolia and Salix schwerinii) and two Salix...
