Dynamic electronic asset allocation comparing genetic algorithm with particle swarm optimization
… Although the Genetic Algorithm has higher fitness values and better global solutions for 3 or more receivers, it increases the running time. The Genetic Algorithm is around (15-30\%) more accurate for asset counts from 3 to 6 but requires (26-82\%) more computational time. When the …

On the Effects of Noise on Parameter Identification Optimization Problems
… are often used to identify the model parameter values. The presence of noise is difficult to avoid when physical processes are used to calibrate models due to measurement error, model structure error, and errors arising from numerical techniques and approximate solutions. Our study focuses on …

Creative Design Using Collaborative Interactive Genetic Algorithms
… since my computational model relies on IGAs. Fitness interpolation allows for the fitness values of individuals in an IGA to be estimated from a representative set of individuals. Such a technique effectively reduces the number of evaluations needed from a user, since the user is only required …

Novel Inverse Airfoil Design Utilizing Parametric Equations
… drag subject to required lift and thickness values to meet aerodynamic and structural constraints. This is typically an expensive operation depending on the selected optimization technique because several flow solutions are often required in order to obtain an updated airfoil profile. The …

Evolutionary Algorithm For Large-Scale Optimization
… variables, and non-standard properties of the fitness function. To deal with these issues, several Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) based on the divide-and-conquer concept have been proposed. A popular approach in this area is Cooperative Co-evolution (CC) which usually divides a problem into a …

Towards successful cerebral palsy football programs: A conceptual model
… WACPF over two seasons, as well as measures of fitness and anthropometry. Normative values of height, weight, speed, agility, vertical jump height, aerobic capacity, as well as training and competition loads measured in relative heart rate zones and speed thresholds, were established. No …

Towards Quality of Service and Fairness in Smart Grid Applications
… and enable power-optimized buffering of fitness values. Both smart grid applications are validated on a realistic power distribution grid with real driving patterns and energy profiles for photovoltaic generation and household consumption. The results of all proposed algorithms are …

Resource Allocation in Cellular Networks with Coexisting Femtocells and Macrocells
… social welfare functions, denoted utilitarian fitness, egalitarian fitness, and proportionally fair fitness. The optimal resource split points, which separate resource access by femtocells and macrocells, are derived with respect to the above fitness functions. A set of simple greedy resource …

The design of an intervention programme to address the prevalence of obesity and physical fitness of adolescents attending high school
… has been negatively linked with both physical fitness and physical activity. PA and school-based nutrition intervention programmes have been shown to have positive effects on diet and PA behaviours in children. However, there is minimal literature reporting on the effectiveness of school-based …

Physical fitness in school-aged children
Physical fitness is an important marker of health that enables people to carry out activities of daily living with vigour and alertness but without undue fatigue and with sufficient reserve to enjoy active leisure pursuits and to meet unforeseen emergencies. Especially, due to scientific findings …
