The k-means training algorithm used for the RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network can have some weakness like empty clusters, the choice of the cluster number and the random choice of the centers of theses clusters. In this paper, we use the Fuzzy Min Max technique to boost the performances of the training algorithm. This technique is used to determine the number of the k centers and to in...

In 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded three Centers for Genomics and Public Health to develop training tools for increasing genomic awareness. Over the past three years, the centers, working together with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office of Genomics and Disease Prevention, have developed tools to increase awareness of the impact genomics will have...

For many companies, call centers have become a primary way of communicating with their customers. Most organizations with customer contact -private companies, as well as government and emergency serviceshave reengineered their infrastructure to include call centers, either internally managed or outsourced. The call centers thus form an important and a vast service industry, employing roughly 3-...

A study was conducted to determine the current Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) standard of practice for eccentric viewing (EV) training. EV training is the process of teaching patients to realign the visual image away from a diseased foveal/macular region onto healthier retina. Optometrists and Visual Skills Instructors at all VA blind rehabilitation centers (BRCs) and VICTORS (vision impai...

. One of the most important tasks of general physicians is the management of outpatients in health centers and clinics. Bedside teaching and ambulatory traiing are however, limited to hospital clinics in short courses without enough supervision. This study aimed to evaluate the attitude of general practitioners working in health centers of Guilan University of medical sciences toward ambulatory...

OBJECTIVES This survey study sought to characterize the current training environment in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and vascular imaging and to quantify the magnitude of any gaps between current training practice and the recommendations of the Core Cardiovascular Training Symposium (COCATS-2) guidelines. BACKGROUND The COCATS-2 guidelines published in 2002 newly included specific ...
