The main aim of the project is to develop a new efficient optimization method, called „Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)‟, for the optimization of mechanical design problems. The process of TLBO is divided into two parts. The first part consists of the „Teacher Phase‟ and the second part consists of the „Learner Phase‟. „Teacher Phase‟ means learning from the teacher and „Learner Phas...

introduction: in traditional medical education systems much interest is placed on the cramming of basic and clinical facts without considering their applicability in the future professional career. the aim of this study is to evaluate a novice medical training method (problem-based learning) as compared to the contemporary teacher-based medical education or traditional methods. methods: selecti...

the ultimate purpose in designing a curriculum should be to have an organized system of what is to be learned when an area of study is identified. the curriculum development should be designed in such a way that even the beginners are able to get a complete idea of the subject over a period of time on learning it. the curriculum should be as of that it should make him/her to get involved in kno...

Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is proposed in recent years that simulates the teaching-learning phenomenon of a classroom to effectively solve global optimization of multidimensional, linear, and nonlinear problems over continuous spaces. In this paper, an improved teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm is presented, which is called nonlinear inertia weighted teac...
