An improved artificial bee colony algorithm for training multilayer perceptron in time series prediction
… algorithms focus on weight values, activation functions, and network structures for providing optimal outputs. Backpropagation (BP) learning algorithm is the well-known learning technique that trained ANN. However, some difficulties arise where the BP cannot get achievements without trapping in …

Data structures, minimization and complexity of boolean functions
Boolean function manipulation is an important component of computer science. This thesis presents results related to Boolean function representation and minimization. The Boolean function minimization problem is re-defined. A new Boolean function classification theory based on permutation and …

The Development of a Head and Neck Support Device for Children with Cerebral Palsy
… as levels four and five on the Gross Motor Function Classification System, struggle with posture and sitting upright. This inability to sit upright impacts many aspects of their life such as learning, eating, communicating, and breathing. If a person with cerebral palsy can keep their head …

The influence of two physical activity programs on bone and muscle health in youth with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments.
… A total of 22 participants from all Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels (I-V) were included. This study found smaller, thinner and weaker bones and lower muscle strength in children and adolescents with CP and CP-like conditions across all GMFCS levels, with deficits …

Comparing outcomes of group and individualized physiotherapy treatment models for children with cerebral palsy in Ghana: a quasi-experimental study
… treatment period, accessing their motor function (using the Gross Motor Functional Measure-88 (GMFM-88), Gross Motor Function Classification System Expanded & Revised version (GMFCS E&R) and Manual Ability Classification Scale (MACS)) and the caregivers' burden of care (MCSI), …

Surgical outcomes for the ambulatory child with cerebral palsy
… for a given intervention should include both functional and technical gait measures. The third finding suggests that when conducting and analyzing gait outcomes in children with CP, their Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level; pre-intervention GDI; and, pattern of …

Quantification of muscle fatigue in cerebal palsy and its relationship to impairments and function
… determine whether muscle fatigue is related to functional measures of activity and participation, and 4) investigate possible contributing factors of muscle fatigue. Results show that muscle fatigue can be reliably assessed through an isokinetic protocol consisting of 35 consecutive knee …

Hip and Spine in Cerebral Palsy
… or severe scoliosis increased with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and age. The clinical spinal assessment showed excellent interrater reliability (weighted kappa=0.96) and high concurrent validity compared with radiographic Cobb angle measurement. The sensitivity was 75%, and …

Developing a home-based program to mitigate musculoskeletal complications in children with severe cerebral palsy in resource limited settings: a modified Delphi study
… palsy (non-or partially ambulant or Gross Motor Function Classification System level III to V), so as to promote inclusion, suitable for use in resource-limited South African (SA) settings. Method: First, a scoping review of the literature was completed to identify potential programme components, …

Mathematical programming approach to cell formation problems in flexible manufacturing systems.
… each type. An improved formulation of the single function classification model (Model 7) is suggested to develop partallocation schemes to allocate new parts to the existing part families. Lagrangean relaxation based methods are used to solve the models presented in this dissertation. Alternate …

Children with Cerebral Palsy: Current needs and challenges in the Western Cape
… cohort had severe CP, classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System IV and V. This was a very minimal improvement compared with the previous study, probably due to a lack of CP surveillance data at the facility through a registry. With several co-morbidities identified for the children …

Bioinformatics approaches to analysing RNA mediated regulation of gene expression
… all structural components and their associated functions. The role of carriers of actual molecular structure and functions was believed to be exclusively assumed by proteins encoded in particular segments of the genome, the genes. In the process of converting the information stored genes into …

An investigation into the ultrastructural parameters of abdominal muscles in children and adolescents with spastic type cerebral palsy and the effect on postural muscle performance
Cerebral palsy (CP) is an abnormality in motor function and postural tone that usually occurs at an early age. Spastic type cerebral palsy (STCP) - the most common type of motor disorder - involves increased muscle tone, a rigid posture in the limbs and muscle weakness resulting in impairment of …

Recommending TEE-based Functions Using a Deep Learning Model
… deep learning model to classify whether an input function handles sensitive information or sensitive code. By applying ML-TEE, developers can reduce the burden of manual code inspection and analysis. ML-TEE's model was trained and tested on functions from GitHub repositories that use Intel SGX and …

Hierarchical multi-label classification for protein function prediction going beyond traditional approaches
<p>Hierarchical multi-label classification is a variant of traditional classification in which the</p> <p>instances can belong to several labels, that are in turn organized in a hierarchy. Functional classification of genes is a challenging problem in functional genomics due to several reasons. …
