This paper proposes a multi-level optimization strategy for the Negative Selection Algorithm (NSA) detectors, based on both the Genetic Algorithms (GA) and clonal selection principle. The NSA is a natural immune response-inspired pattern discrimination method. In our hierarchical optimization scheme, the NSA detectors are first optimized by the GA to occupy the maximal coverage of the nonself s...

Abstract Objective Both anxiety and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are both related to poorer Trail Making Test (TMT) performances. TBI survivors exhibit a greater incidence of in contrast the general population. We evaluated relationship between on TMT perceived workload ratings. Method The sample consisted 39 moderate-to-severe [(21 with normal symptoms (NSA) 18 abnormal (ASA)] 51 healthy compa...

in this paper, an efficient extension of network simplex algorithm is presented. in static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. in this paper, the static scheduling problem of automated guided vehicles in container terminal is solved by network simplex algorithm (nsa) and nsa+, which extended the stand...

The Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) problem is a well-known problem in the area of network optimisation. To tackle this problem, Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) is the fastest solution method. NSA has three extensions, namely Network Simplex plus Algorithm (NSA+), Dynamic Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA) and Dynamic Network Simplex plus Algorithm (DNSA+). The objectives of the research reported in this...

We reported previously that mice exposed to atmospheric NO2 contained a nitrosating agent (NSA) that reacted with morpholine in aqueous methanol homogenates of the mice to give N-nitrosomorpholine. We have now found that N-nitrosomorpholine was also produced by reacting morpholine with ether extracts of aqueous homogenates prepared from NO2-exposed mice. After exposure to NO2 for 4 hr, mice con...

In this paper, a scheduling problem for Automated Guided Vehicles in container terminals is defined and formulated as a Minimum Cost Flow model. This problem is then solved by a novel algorithm, NSA+, which extended the standard Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA). Like NSA, NSA+ is a complete algorithm, which means it guarantees optimality of the solution if it finds one within the time available....

in static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. in this paper, the static scheduling problem of automated guided vehicles in container terminal is solved by the network simplex algorithm (nsa). the algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...

Background. The femoral neck-shaft angle (NSA) is of high importance for the diagnostics and treatment of various conditions of the hip. However, rotational effects limit its precision and applicability using plain radiographs. This study introduces a novel method to measure the femoral NSA: the modified NSA (mNSA), possibly being less susceptible against rotational effects compared to the conv...

OBJECTIVE Describe the somatosensory function of the affected upper limb of hemiparetic stroke patients and investigate the correlations between measurements of motor and sensory functions in tasks with and without visual deprivation. METHOD We applied the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Nottingham Sensory Assessment (NSA), and several motor and sensory tests: Paper manipulation (PM), Motor Sequ...
