a total of 1695 blood samples collected from ten ethnically distinct populations of iran (turks and kurds of rezaieh, lurs, aabolis, baluchis, turks and kurds of shrvan, zoroastrians, tehranis, and kermanis) were examined for six polymorphic red cell enzyme systems, namely red cell acid phosphatase (ap), adenylate kinase (ak), phosphoglucomutase (pgm1), esteraxe d (esd), adenosine deaminase (ad...

Population of small rodents in radiocontaminated environment is compelled to include more energy-intensive way of maintenance its ability to live — increasing of the proportion of mature young of the year (first pathway of ontogeny). Their reproductive characteristics — actual fecundity was higher, whereas embryonic mortality and the proportion of females with embryonic losses were significantl...

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used for classification between two populations. Usually two independent random samples from the populations with absolutely continuous cumulative distribution functions (CDF) F and G are considered. Then the ROC curve is defined as ROC(t) = 1−G(F−1(1− t)) for 0 < t < 1 if the inverse F−1 exists. Classical ROC curve estimator is based on empi...

Pension funds are analysed as financial intermediaries using a functional approach to finance which encompasses traditional theories of intermediation. Funds fulfil a number of the functions of the financial system more efficiently than banks or direct holdings. Their growth complements that of capital markets and they have acted as major catalysts of change in the financial landscape. Financia...

Some recent successful techniques to solve multiobjective optimisation problems are based on variants of evolutionary algorithms and use recombination and self-adaptation to evolve the population. We present an approach that incorporates a population of solutions into a hybrid metaheuristic with no recombination. The population is evolved using self-adaptation, a mutation operator and an inform...
